CEO statement

“Our performance for the first half of the year has been impacted by the continued softness of our end markets, mostly automotive and semicon, and increased uncertainties due to global trade policies, leading to an organic revenue decline in our industry and semicon segments.

We sustained our added value margin to 63.3%, thanks to our pricing excellence and the progress of our organic growth initiatives. Our operations excellence programmes to drive cost out, footprint and inventory optimisation had a positive contribution.

Our organic revenue decline is 3.2% and our EBITA margin is 13.5%. The major cause to our EBITA margin drop versus last year is lower volume in our industry and semicon segment. Thanks to the reduction of capital expenditure and the great work of our teams to drive inventory reduction, we improved our free cash flow to EUR 56 million”, said Stéphane Simonetta.

“We made good strategic progress in our portfolio optimisation with three value-accretive acquisitions (two in USA for industry and building, and one intended in Southeast Asia for semicon). Our sustainability commitments are on track with a SDG rate above 70% and 8% CO2 intensity reduction.

We remain confident about our ability to execute our ‘thrive 2030’ strategic actions to emerge stronger in the long term.”

outlook

Based on the current end market dynamics and uncertainties, we do not expect an organic revenue growth improvement in the second half of the year. Consequently, we are adjusting our full year EBITA margin outlook to 13-14%. We continue to focus on actions to protect our EBITA margin and optimise our free cash flow.

Aalberts Key Take-aways 1H25 Analyst Call

This morning Aalberts reported 1H25 numbers. Building continued to show a minimal organic growth in 2Q (as in 4Q and 1Q). In Industry the topline decline slowed down to -2.9% and margins benefitted from footprint and cost out initiatives (+90bps q/q). Semicon suffered from an acceleration in the growth decline to -15.5% (2Q) from -11.3% (1Q). Overall, management no longer banks on a growth recovery in 2H25 and expects full year margins to be at 13-14% (previously > 15%). 2026 margin targets (16-...
