EQS-Ad-hoc: SGL CARBON SE / Key word(s): Change in Forecast SGL Carbon SE (ISIN: DE0007235301) announces preliminary consolidated sales and adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) for the first half of 2025. According to preliminary figures, SGL Carbon's consolidated sales for the first six months of fiscal year 2025 decreased by 15.8% to €453.2 million compared to the prior year (H1 2024: €538.0 million). This is primarily attributable to continued restraint in demand from semiconductor customers for special graphite components in the Graphite Solutions business unit. In addition, the Carbon Fibers business unit recorded lower sales based on the discontinuation of unprofitable business activities as part of the restructuring.
The cost savings resulting from the restructuring of Carbon Fibers were unable to offset the missing earnings contributions from the decline in the high-margin semiconductor business. Accordingly, preliminary adjusted EBITDA in the first half of 2025 decreased by 16.2% year-on-year to €72.5 million (H1 2024: €86.5 million). The adjusted EBITDA margin remained almost unchanged year-on-year at 16.0% (H1 2024: 16.1%). Based on the business development in the first half of 2025, the expected market developments in the coming months, and in particular the further restructuring of Carbon Fibers, the Management Board is adjusting its sales forecast for the 2025 fiscal year. The company now expects sales to be 10% to 15% below the prior year (2024: €1,026.4 million). Previously, SGL Carbon had assumed a decline in sales of up to 10% (slight decline) compared with the prior year. Due to the discontinuation of loss-making business activities in the Carbon Fibers business unit as part of the successful restructuring and the associated improvement in profitability, the forecast for adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2025 remains unchanged in the range of €130 million to €150 million. The complete half-year financial report for 2025, including the final figures for the first half of 2025, will be published as planned on August 7, 2025. The use of key figures in this announcement is in line with the definitions in the 2024 Annual Report. End of Inside Information
