Arbitral Tribunal acting under ICC Rules of Arbitration issues final award in an arbitration between Agfa-Gevaert and the insolvency receiver of AgfaPhoto GmbH

Mortsel, Belgium – June 27, 2025 – 1.45 PM CET



An Arbitral Tribunal acting under the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Rules of Arbitration has rendered a final award in the last arbitration proceeding with a possible material impact between Agfa-Gevaert and the insolvency receiver of AgfaPhoto GmbH.

The Arbitral Tribunal dismissed all claims asserted by the insolvency receiver of AgfaPhoto GmbH relating to an alleged undercapitalization of AgfaPhoto GmbH in connection with Agfa-Gevaert’s carve-out and contribution of its entire consumer imaging business (photography division) to AgfaPhoto GmbH in 2004. The Arbitral Tribunal ordered the insolvency receiver of AgfaPhoto GmbH to pay to Agfa-Gevaert approximately 38 million euro plus interest for costs incurred in the arbitration.

Subject to stringent requirements, the insolvency receiver of AgfaPhoto GmbH may file a request for annulment of the award before a German court within the next 3 months.

Agfa expects to successfully close this period and to work further on the growth strategy of the Agfa-Gevaert Group.

Agfa “Shrinking Business” & “Not-So-Growth Engines”

After three quarters, Agfa's 9M25 “Mature Business” (Radiology and Film DPC) sales dropped -6.4% y/y, driven by the accelerating medical film decline. While its “Growth Engines” (HealthCare IT, Digital Printing Solutions, Green Hydrogen Solutions) are intended to offset this, they also fell -0.9% y/y in the first nine months. We remain cautious (Hold; €1.0 Target Price) until strategic measures deliver and growth engines regain momentum.

Agfa Decline in medical film was even stronger than expected

Agfa's 3Q25 continued decline in medical film was even stronger than expected (€ 257m 3Q25 sales vs € 275m KBCS & CSS). Although the growth in cloud/SaaS in HealthCare IT all the divisions were below our and CSS forecasts as well on top-line as on REBIT-margins. The increase in Digital Printing & Chemicals was not sufficiently offsetting the impact from the decline in medical film and from cloud transition in HealthCare IT. Despite good cost control, REBIT decreased to -4m, mainly due to the d...
