EQS-News: Delignit AG achieves half-year revenue of € 33.7 million with an EBITDA margin of 6.2 % in a challenging market environment

Blomberg, August 22, 2025. Delignit AG (ISIN DE000A0MZ4B0), a leading manufacturer of ecological hardwood-based products and system solutions, achieved consolidated revenue of €33.7 million in the first half of the year (previous year: €36.7 million), which corresponds to a year-on-year decline in revenue of around 8.2%. In terms of profitability, the Delignit Group generated EBITDA of around €2.1 million (previous year: €2.3 million), corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 6.2% (previous year: 6.4%). Thus, despite declining revenue and further increases in material and wage costs, relative profitability was maintained thanks to the cost-cutting program initiated at an early stage.

The decline in revenue results out of the automotive target market. Although there was significant growth of 17.2% compared to the last half-year of the previous year, almost all product groups showed declines compared to the first six months of the previous year, as major OEM series delivery contracts in the light commercial vehicle industry and in the caravan sector fell short of the agreed contract volumes. In the target market of Technological Applications, the revenue level, which had already nearly doubled in the previous year, was maintained. In particular, applications for high-density materials for the expansion of energy infrastructure are experiencing high demand. The company's strong balance sheet structure remains unchanged, demonstrating high resilience with an equity ratio of 76.1% and net cash of around €4.2 million.

In line with current market developments, the Delignit Group anticipates that the situation regarding call-offs under OEM series supply contracts will remain tense, particularly for the rest of the summer. In order to achieve the revenue guidance, the motor caravan business and the light commercial vehicle market in particular will need to stabilize significantly in the coming months. The positive business development in the Technological Applications business should continue to support the stabilization of revenue levels. The ambitious goal of moderate growth in line with the guidance of around €68 million in revenues and an EBITDA margin of 6 to 7% therefore remains the target.

The full 2025 half-year report will be published on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, and presented by the Management Board in a digital earnings call. Registration for the earnings call is available on the company's website www.delignit.com in the Investor Relations section, where the report will also be published.
