Semperit AG Holding: Earnings forecast for first quarter of 2025 well below previous year’s figures; operating EBITDA expected in the range of EUR 70 million to EUR 90 million in 2025

 
Vienna, March 11, 2025 – Based on the earnings forecast for the first quarter of 2025, Semperit AG Holding expects EBITDA to decline by around 50% compared with the quarterly result of the previous year (EBITDA Q1/2024: EUR 23 million). This result is due to the ongoing difficult market environment.

For the second half of the year, the Executive Board expects a market recovery to start in individual regions. Taking into account further cost-saving measures and depending on the timing and intensity of the market recovery, the Executive Board expects operating EBITDA in a range between EUR 70 million and EUR 90 million for the full year 2025. According to the preliminary, unaudited results, EBITDA amounted to around EUR 85 million and operating EBITDA to around EUR 86 million in 2024.

The final figures for 2024 will be published on March 20, 2025.

Operating EBITDA is EBITDA excluding project costs for a multi-year IT project.
