Bossard Holding AG

Latest Results (14.10.2025):

Bossard Holding AG reported a strong third quarter of 2025, achieving group sales growth of 10.2% to CHF 264.9 million. This growth was driven by both organic expansion and strategic acquisitions, despite a challenging market environment. The company's Smart Factory services played a significant role in stabilizing demand and strengthening Bossard's market position across all three primary regions.

Europe Performance

In the third quarter, Europe saw a robust sales increase of 16.6% to CHF 160.0 million, with local currency growth reaching 18.0%. Key sectors such as aerospace, railway, electronics, and energy contributed positively. Strategic acquisitions, including Aero Negoce International SAS and Ferdinand Gross Group, have been smoothly integrated, enhancing Bossard's market presence and operational efficiency in the region.

America Performance

Sales in America grew modestly by 1.8% to CHF 56.9 million, achieving a local currency increase of 9.6%. While demand in electromobility and agriculture remains subdued, the electronics sector showed positive trends. Additionally, the region benefited from the pass-through of import duties, although the Swiss franc's appreciation against the US dollar posed a headwind to sales growth.

Asia Performance

Asia experienced a sales increase of 1.5% to CHF 48.0 million, with local currency growth at 9.4%. Continued demand recovery in China and production relocations in Malaysia and India supported this growth. Opportunities in automation and robotics, along with new customer acquisitions, have positioned Bossard well within the growing intra-Asian trade landscape. However, the appreciation of the Swiss franc against Asian currencies negatively impacted sales performance in the region.

Outlook

Bossard anticipates a subdued sales environment in the fourth quarter of 2025 due to ongoing market challenges and unfavorable exchange rates. For the full year, the company forecasts sales between CHF 1,055 million and CHF 1,065 million, with an EBIT margin around 10%. Despite uncertainties in the global economy, Bossard remains optimistic and committed to its medium-term financial targets and the consistent implementation of Strategy 200.
