The technotrans Group continued its positive business performance in the second quarter of 2025 and remained on track in the first 6 months of the 2025 financial year. The Technology segment in particular recorded year-on-year revenue growth. This consolidated the successful momentum from the first quarter. The continued strong revenue growth in the focus markets of Energy Management, Healthcare & Analytics and Print, an optimized product mix and the earnings contributions from the ttSprint efficiency program were the main reasons for the strong year-on-year increase in revenue and earnings.

Economic report

General and industry-specific economic environment

Economic development in Germany showed a downward trend in the second quarter of 2025. According to preliminary figures from the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), gross domestic product (GDP) fell by 0.1% in the period from April to June compared to the previous quarter. This contrasts with slight growth of 0.3% in the first quarter of 2025. This development reflects the ongoing economic challenges that the German economy is currently facing. One key factor is the US government's tariff policy, which has had a significant impact on international trade relations. It remains to be seen how the agreement reached between the EU and the USA in July 2025 will affect the German export industry.

Revenue performance

The technotrans to-bill ratio amounted to 1.1.

The development in the focus markets was as follows:

Energy Management: technotrans further expanded its market positions particularly in battery thermal management systems (BTMS) for e-buses and rail vehicles. Production capacity for liquid cooling systems for data centers has been increased. The Energy Management focus market remained a key growth driver with revenue growth of 11% million). It accounted for 15% of consolidated revenue in the reporting period.

Healthcare & Analytics: The positive revenue trend continued on the basis of high deliveries in the areas of analytics and scanner systems. In addition, systems for semiconductor production ensured further growth. Revenue generated in the reporting period increased significantly by 44% year-onrevenue amounted to 8%.

Print: Revenue increased by 8% 35%. In the first half, technotrans further strengthened its market position in the areas of packaging printing, flexographic printing, and digital printing. The agreement of an exclusive strategic partnership with Windmöller & Hölscher, with an order volume in the low double-digit million-euro range, should be mentioned as a significant lighthouse transaction in the area of flexographic printing.

Plastics: Business performance, which was negatively impacted by the economic situation, improved slightly in the second quarter of 2025. The decline in revenue compared to the previous year decreased to 2%. Accordingly, revenue revenue amounted to 21%.

Laser: The ongoing difficult economic environment continues to have a substantial impact on business development in the laser focus market. Revenue million and was significantly lower than in the previous year, down 11%. The share of Group revenue fell from 18% to 16%.

The focus markets generated 95% of consolidated revenue.

Results of operations

The revenue 26.9% to 29.8%. This was mainly due to an optimization of the product mix in the Technology segment, the effects of the ttSprint efficiency program and further efficiency improvements established in 2025. The reduction in trade fair and personnel costs led to a decrease in increases. This development more than compensated for the slight decrease in administrative .2 million compared to the previous year. In the previous year, earnings were negatively impacted by personnel-related one-off

The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to the focus markets of Energy Management, Healthcare & Analytics and Print. Economic conditions were the trigger for a significant decline in revenue in the Laser focus market. Optimization of the product portfolio, the use of economies of scale and efficiency improvements led to a significant increase in segment EBIT to -0.1 million). The EBIT margin amounted to 4.3% (previous year: -0.1%).

It is expected to be published in October 2025 as part of a Capital Markets Day.

Sustainability

technotrans made important progress in the area of sustainability in the first half of 2025. With energy-efficient battery cooling systems for e-buses, technotrans is positioning itself as a preferred technology partner for sustainable mobility. By winning another major order, the Energy Management focus market is actively contributing to the decarbonization of public transport and supporting the safe, reliable operation of electric bus fleets in Europe. In addition, technotrans is further expanding its market position in electromobility and making an important contribution to the sustainable mobility of the future. By converting to LED lighting at its main site in Sassenberg, technotrans is significantly reducing its annual emissions and extends the service life of the lighting - a clear benefit for the environment and efficiency. Furthermore, the technotrans fleet is gradually being converted to electric vehicles.

Overall statement by the Board of Management on business performance in the first 6 months of 2025

"The technotrans Group consistently continued its strong development in the second quarter and remained on course in the reporting period despite challenging conditions.

The main drivers of the solid development were the focus markets Energy Management, Healthcare & Analytics and Print, which generated significant revenue growth compared with the previous year. Highlights in the Energy Management focus market include battery thermal management systems for rail vehicles and e-buses as well as liquid cooling systems for data centers. The Healthcare & Analytics focus market strongly developed thanks to revenue growth in systems for analytics, baggage scanners and semiconductor production. Revenue in the Print focus market increased in both the Technology segment and the Services segment.

There was a slight upturn in the Plastics focus market, which got off to a weak start to the year due to the economic situation. The continued very weak development of the Laser focus market due to the economic environment was more than compensated for by the positive developments in the other focus markets.

The significant increase in revenue in conjunction with an improved product mix and increased efficiency led to a marked improvement in earnings in both the Technology and Services reporting segments.

The Board of Management is very satisfied with the revenue and earnings performance of the technotrans Group in the first half of 2025 in view of the continuing economic challenges."

Opportunities and Risks report

The opportunities and risks relevant for the future development of the technotrans Group as well as the implemented risk management system were explained in detail in the 2024 Annual Report.

The current status of the risk profile described in the 2024 Annual Report is as follows:

General/industry-specific risks

The economic success of the technotrans Group depends to a large extent on the macroeconomic developments in its direct and indirect sales markets. To assess these developments, technotrans relies among other things on forecasts by generally recognized institutions and economic research institutes. As outlined in the 2024 Annual Report, the key risk factors in this category continued to be the tense economic and geopolitical environment. The US government's customs policy was another factor. Overall, the risks intensified in the reporting period. At the same time, the German government's growth package led to a slight improvement in the leading economic indicators. The Board of Management therefore stands by its assessment that there will be a further upturn in business development in the second half of 2025, provided that the economic environment does not deteriorate again. In particular, this includes ensuring that supply chains are not impaired by an expansion of the conflicts in the Middle East or a decline in demand as a result of a tightening of US customs policy. Opportunities arise from a possible calming of the geopolitical environment through sustainable peace agreements and an associated improvement in economic sentiment.

The Board of Management continues to classify the macroeconomic/sector-specific risks as high.

Corporate strategy risks

The corporate strategy risks have not changed overall. This also includes the recoverability of goodwill from the acquisitions made in recent years. A significant increase in interest rates or a significant weakening of the earnings performance of the cash-generating units could have a negative impact annual financial statements and associated sensitivity analyses with regard to a 1% change in interest rates and a 10% decline in margins did not result in any need for impairment. Opportunities were realized in the reporting period as a result of the market-oriented reorganization.

The Board of Management continues to classify the corporate strategy risks as low.

Financial risks

Financial risks primarily include liquidity risk, interest rate risk, currency risk and bad debt risk. The liquidity risk has not changed. technotrans has a comfortable liquidity position consisting of freely available liquidity and credit lines with reputable banks. The financial situation currently remains isk of default and insolvency remains high due to the tense economic situation. It is effectively monitored and limited by the implemented receivables management systems, the collection of advance payments and the instrument of trade credit insurance.

As the majority of the operating business is conducted in euros, the foreign currency risk remains limited. The decline in the USD and CNY exchange rates in the reporting period essentially led to negative effects with no effect on income.

The financial risks of the technotrans Group have consequently not changed overall. The Board of Management continues to classify these as medium.

Economic performance risks

The performance risks include risks relating to the procurement of raw materials and input materials. Supply bottlenecks, for example, can have a negative impact on production. Performance risks also include the sales risk relating to unfulfilled customer expectations, IT risks and maintaining a qualified and motivated workforce. The risk situation has not changed significantly compared to the situation as of December 31, 2024.

The Board of Management continues to classify the economic performance risks as medium.

Legal risks

The legal risks have not changed overall.

The Board of Management continues to classify these as low.

Overall statement of the Board of Management on the opportunities and risks profile

In the 2024 Annual Report, it was concluded that there are no identifiable risks to the technotrans Group as a going concern and that the Group is well positioned in terms of its risk positions and riskbearing capacity. This assessment and the classifications of the five risk categories remain unchanged.

In view of the Board of Management, the overall risk for the technotrans Group has not changed significantly.

Outlook

Expected economic environment

We expect the economic and geopolitical environment to remain highly uncertain in the second half of the year. In particular, the agreement on export tariffs between the EU and the USA will have a negative impact on the German export industry. However, the extent to which this will occur cannot be precisely quantified at present, as not all details were known at the time of going to press. Leading forecasting institutes are currently assuming a negative impact on German gross domestic product (GDP) of around 0.2%. According to the World Economic Outlook published in July, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects Germany's GDP to grow by 0.1% in 2025. The IMF is forecasting growth of 1.0% for the eurozone. In the USA, the IMF expects GDP growth of 1.9%.

Expected business performance of the Group

The assumptions made in the 2024 Annual Report regarding future business development essentially remain valid.

The current economic forecasts indicate a challenging development in the second half of the year, particularly in the core market of Germany. We expect the uncertain development of the geopolitical environment and the effects of US tariff policy to have a decisive influence on development. The technotrans Group's successful realignment towards a powerful, market-oriented organization will enable it to operate successfully even under these challenging conditions.

In view of the current order situation and the potential in the growth markets, some of which is independent of the economy, we expect business to pick up moderately in the second half of 2025. The Energy Management focus market remains an important growth driver. We continue to see a focus on cooling systems for electromobility and data centers. We also expect revenue growth in Print, driven by packaging and flexographic printing. This is evidenced by the exclusive framework agreement with Windmöller & Hölscher published in July 2025 for the supply of flexographic printing systems. In addition, we expect solid revenue growth in the focus market Healthcare & Analytics. In the Plastics focus market, the market environment is expected to remain challenging, with a recovery not expected until fiscal year 2026. The development of the focus market Laser will continue to be impacted by the economic environment. We are responding to this with a clear portfolio strategy and are focusing on promising products.

We confirm our existing forecast of generating consolidated revenue 265 million with an EBIT margin of between 7.0% and 9.0% and a ROCE of between 13.0% and 16.0% in the 2025 financial year.
