EQS-News: MAX Automation SE reports challenging first quarter – Forecast for 2025 confirmed
EQS-News: MAX Automation SE
/ Key word(s): Quarterly / Interim Statement/Quarter Results
PRESS RELEASE
Consolidated order intake for the MAX Group’s continuing operations declined by 14.2% to EUR 77.0 million in the first quarter of 2025 (3M 2024: EUR 89.7 million). Customers continued to show restraint in their investment spending due to the challenging economic conditions. The same period last year for the MAX Group was characterised by continuous follow-up orders in the ELWEMA segment. Against this backdrop, however, the positive development of order intake in the Vecoplan Group and NSM + Jücker segments is viewed with cautious optimism as an early indicator of a possible economic upturn, which has not yet affected all segments equally. The MAX Group’s order backlog in its continuing operations increased by 4.6% to EUR 161.3 million as of 31 March 2025 (31 December 2024: EUR 154.3 million). Sales of the MAX Group’s continuing operations declined by 23.3% to EUR 69.5 million (3M 2024: EUR 90.6 million) in the first quarter of 2025 due to generally subdued demand and project postponements to subsequent months, particularly in the ELWEMA and Vecoplan Group segments, in the low double-digit million euro range. This was also due to location-related project preparations on the customer side, which meant that planned orders could not be realised as intended in the first quarter of 2025. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) for the MAX Group’s continuing operations declined in the first quarter of 2025 to EUR 0.1 million (3M 2024: EUR 7.9 million), due to lower capacity utilisation as a result of the economic downturn and the lack of earnings contributions from temporarily postponed order realisations in the mid-single-digit million euro range. The EBITDA margin relative to sales decreased accordingly to 0.2% (3M 2024: 8.8%). The corresponding earnings contributions from the postponed projects are expected to be recovered in the further course of the year. The cash inflow from operating activities of the MAX Group increased in the first quarter of 2025, mainly due to a reduction in trade receivables and a reduction in contract assets to EUR 3.1 million (3M 2024: cash outflow of EUR 8.1 million). Cash inflow from investing activities of EUR 1.5 million (3M 2024: cash outflow of EUR 2.1 million) resulted from the sale of fixed assets. Cash flow from financing activities resulted in a cash outflow of EUR 0.5 million (3M 2024: cash inflow of EUR 5.9 million). Cash and cash equivalents according to the balance sheet increased to EUR 13.6 million as of 31 March 2025 (31 December 2024: EUR 9.0 million). The MAX Group’s working capital as of 31 March 2025 was EUR 99.8 million, down 5.2% on the previous year (31 December 2024: EUR 105.3 million). The decline in working capital is mainly attributable to the lower project volume due to the order situation. Net debt decreased to EUR 54.3 million as a result of the lower working capital requirement due to the order situation (31 December 2024: EUR 58.2 million). Overall, the MAX Group’s equity ratio declined to 52.4% (31 December 2024: 54.6%) as a result of the negative net income for the period and the fair value measurement of the shares in ZEAL Network SE, which had no impact on income. In view of the escalation of the current tariff disputes and the significant share of US business in the Group’s sales, it cannot be ruled out that adverse changes in the general and industry-specific economic conditions could have an impact on the MAX Group’s sales and earnings situation. Provided that the tariff disputes do not have any material impact, the Managing Directors of the MAX Group continue to expect sales of between EUR 340 million and EUR 400 million and operating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of between EUR 21 million and EUR 28 million. The Managing Directors expect the order situation to pick up from the second quarter and in the following quarters.
