Ringmetall increases group revenue despite declining raw material prices with continued robust margin

• Group revenue up 9.0 percent to EUR 146.1 million
• EBITDA of EUR 18.8 million at previous year's level
• Outlook of EUR 180-200 million and EBITDA of EUR 21-28 million confirmed

Munich, November 6, 2025 - Ringmetall SE (ISIN: DE000A3E5E55), a leading international specialist supplier in the packaging industry, performed well overall in the third quarter of 2025 in a market environment that remained recessionary and competitive. The decline in organic growth at Group level was more than offset by revenue growth from the last acquisitions despite the continued decline in raw material prices.

At EUR 146.1 million, consolidated revenue was 9.0 percent higher than the previous year's figure of EUR 134.1 million. As in the previous quarters, declining raw material prices had a dampening effect on revenues. In Europe, demand remained stable overall, with large-container liners providing above-average support for the development. This product area was further expanded by the acquisition of the large container liner division for civil protection from Indutainer in October of this year.

"Through acquisitions like these, we are strengthening the liner business unit and increasing resilience in volatile markets. At the same time, we are expanding our European market position with the acquisition of innovative solutions such as Indutainer and exploiting synergies in the production network," explains Christoph Petri, CEO of Ringmetall SE.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of EUR 18.8 million were at the previous year's level. The EBITDA margin as a percentage of total output was down slightly year-on-year at 12.8 percent.

The key figures for business development in the reporting period are as follows:

Development in the business units

The Closure Systems division, in which the company produces clamping rings, drum lids and other accessories for industrial drums, generated sales of EUR 87.0 million, which corresponds to a share of 59.5 percent of Group revenue. The sales trend reflects lower steel prices and subdued demand. EBITDA amounted to EUR 14.8 million.

In the Liner business unit, in which Ringmetall produces inner sleeves for industrial drums and other packaging units as well as packaging solutions for the beverage industry (e.g. bag-in-box systems), segment sales amounted to EUR 59.1 million, which corresponds to a share of 40.5 percent of Group sales. The acquisitions of the previous year and the acquisition of Hutek in Finland had a positive impact on sales and earnings. Demand for large container and liquid liners remained strong. In particular, the development at Peak Packaging underlines the positive trend. In detail, the development of the business units was as follows:

Outlook for 2025

The Management Board once again confirms the forecast for the 2025 financial year with consolidated sales of EUR 180 million to EUR 200 million and EBITDA of EUR 21 million to EUR 28 million. The forecast is based on unchanged raw material prices. It does not include effects of potential further acquisitions, including related transaction costs. The market environment for further acquisitions is assessed positively. Ringmetall sees itself well positioned to take advantage of attractive opportunities.
