Order Intake Trends

The company’s order intake fell from CHF 403.4 million in H1 2024 to CHF 355.4 million in H1 2025. While the Machines & Systems and Components Divisions saw declines (from CHF 211.5 million to CHF 166.9 million and CHF 117.6 million to CHF 95.7 million respectively), the After Sales Division experienced a 25% increase in order intake, rising from CHF 74.3 million to CHF 92.8 million.

Sales Performance

Sales dropped significantly from CHF 421.0 million in the first half of 2024 to CHF 336.2 million in the first half of 2025. This decline was evident across divisions, with Machines & Systems sales falling approximately 28%, and other segments showing weaker performance due to market uncertainties and project delays.

Profitability and Earnings

Operating earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) worsened, shifting from a positive CHF 10.0 million in H1 2024 to a negative CHF 2.7 million in H1 2025. Consequently, the net result deteriorated to a loss of CHF 20.0 million in H1 2025, compared to a net profit of CHF 1.7 million in the previous period, largely due to non-recurring restructuring and acquisition-related costs.

Cost Management and Cash Flow

Rieter Holding Ltd. managed to reduce overhead expenses from CHF 119.8 million to CHF 104.9 million, indicating steady progress in cost-saving measures. Nevertheless, the free cash flow deteriorated to CHF -36.7 million in H1 2025, reflecting the combined impact of lower revenues and increased inventories under challenging economic conditions.

Outlook for H2 2025

Looking ahead, the company anticipates a stronger second half of 2025, although forecasted sales (excluding the Barmag Division) have been adjusted to a range of CHF 750 to 800 million. Rieter Holding Ltd. remains cautious, noting that the ongoing market recovery remains essential for improving operating margins and overall financial performance.
