EQS-News: MS Industrie AG publishes Half-Year Figures 2025

MS Industrie AG publishes Half-Year Figures 2025

MS Industrie AG publishes its unaudited half-year figures for the financial year 2025. When comparing the figures with those for the first half of 2024, it must be taken into account that the majority sale of the Ultrasonic business segment was not completed until the beginning of the third quarter of 2024. For this reason, the half-year figures have been adjusted for non fully consolidated operations. Consolidated revenue from continuing operations declined slightly from EUR 78.4 million (first half of 2024) to EUR 75.2 million; this includes revenues of EUR 36.2 million in the first quarter and EUR 39.0 million in the second quarter. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to EUR 4.2 million (first half of 2024: EUR 5.2 million).

In mid-August, the former MS PowerTec real estate property in Zittau was sold. The purchase price roughly corresponds to the book value of the property, including operating equipment and a PV-system. The inflow of liquidity in the low single-digit million range further reduced financial liabilities.

Dr. Andreas Aufschnaiter, member of the management board of MS Industrie AG: "We are sticking to our forecast of EUR 150 million in consolidated sales for 2025. Unfortunately, geopolitical market risks still exist. Our half-year figures include one-time costs of EUR 0.7 million for the start-up of our new plant in Charlotte, North Carolina. The plant in the US is part of the future of MS Industrie AG. In the US, the rules on CO2 limits for cars are planned to be lifted. This also means that the ban on combustion engines is off the table. This represents a complete change of course and means more predictability for MS XTEC's American customers and corresponding opportunities for us."
