PRESS RELEASE

Highlight Group publishes results for the first nine months

  • Consolidated sales rose by CHF 6.3 million to CHF 264.7 million (previous year: CHF 258.4 million).
  • Operating cash flow increased by 52% to CHF 25.6 million (previous year: CHF 16.8 million)
  • EBIT amounted to CHF -31.6 million due to one-off special effects and extraordinary operating costs (previous year: CHF -7.6 million).
  • The equity ratio was 18.2% at September 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: 24.3%).

Pratteln, November 28, 2025 – Highlight Group publishes development of the first nine months

Group development in the third quarter of 2025

  • The 2.4% higher revenue compared to the previous year is due to risen revenue in the cinema and home entertainment sector in the Film segment.
     
  • Due to one-time special effects in the Sports and Events segment, operating profit (EBIT) was
    CHF -31.6 million (previous year: CHF -7.6 million). These special effects had no cash impact, which is why cash flow from operating activities continued to develop positively. Cash and cash equivalents increased by 52% compared to the previous year.
     
  • Equity amounted to CHF 108.3 million.

Bernhard Burgener, President of the Board of Directors of the Highlight Group, commented on the interim financial statements as follows: "With a 2.4% increase in consolidated sales and a 52% increase in operating cash flow, we have taken important steps toward achieving our goal of stable and economically successful business operations. One-off, non-cash special effects and extraordinary operating costs in the Sports and Events segment have had a significant negative impact on the income statement for the first nine months, resulting in a clearly negative operating result. However, a significant improvement in results is expected for the traditionally stronger fourth quarter due to the largely elimination of extraordinary costs and a continued positive sales trend."
