INDUS reduces forecast for sales, adjusted EBITA and adjusted EBITA margin for the 2025 financial year

Bergisch Gladbach, May 07, 2025 - INDUS Holding AG (ISIN: DE0006200108) is adjusting its forecast for sales, adjusted EBITA and adjusted EBITA margin for the 2025 financial year. The Board of Management now expects consolidated sales of EUR 1.70 billion to EUR 1.85 billion (previously: EUR 1.75 billion to EUR 1.85 billion) and adjusted EBITA of between EUR 130 million and EUR 165 million (previously: between EUR 150 million and EUR 175 million). The adjusted EBITA margin is now expected to be in the range of 7.5% to 9.0% (previously: 8.5% to 10.0%).

The adjustment results firstly from the generally reduced expectations of the INDUS portfolio companies, especially in the segment Materials Solutions, for the full year 2025 as a result of the disruptive US customs policy since April 2, 2025 ("Liberation Day").

Additionally, in February 2025, China has extended export controls to tungsten and tungsten compounds, among other things. The INDUS Group's portfolio company BETEK purchases and processes large quantities of tungsten-containing primary products from China. Since then the approval process has become considerably more stringent. Due to current developments, the time required to obtain an export license is no longer predictable and it is unclear whether the licenses will even be granted to the extent required at all. Despite a comprehensive and very cost-intensive package of measures that was introduced immediately, there is now a concrete risk that the supply problems will result in a loss of revenue in the range of EUR 20 to 40 million in the second half of 2025. In combination with the sharp rise in costs, adjusted EBITA will fall by around EUR 8 to 15 million. However, it can also not be ruled out that supply can be secured again as the year progresses.

The consolidated financial statements as at March 31, 2025 and the first quarter of 2025 will be published as planned on May 14, 2025.

The composition of adjusted EBITA is calculated from EBIT - as shown on page 160 of INDUS Holding AG's 2024 Annual Report - by eliminating depreciation/amortization and impairments on intangible assets and goodwill from purchase price allocations.
