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 decline in Radiology Solutions. Although Agfa is indicated they are acceleration and extension its savings programs we further lower our Target Price to € 1.0 (from € 1.3) and lower our rating to Hold (from Accumulate).
