The realized revenue for the first half of 2025/26 (as at 31 March 2026) amounts to EUR 23.9 million. This represents a 14% decrease compared with the same period last year. However, the order book of EUR 4.0 million as at 31 March 2026 includes revenue of EUR 3.3 million planned for the first half-year, which could not be realized due to disrupted supply chains caused by the war in Iran, particularly regarding thermal sensors. Taking this order backlog into account, revenue is in line with the plan for the first half of 2025/26 and with the same period last year. At a regional level, DACH and the Americas failed to meet their revenue targets; the EMEA and APAC sales regions exceeded their revenue targets. Revenue from this order backlog will be recognized in the third quarter.

EBIT deteriorated from EUR 1.0 million in the first half of the previous year to EUR -1.8 million in the reporting half-year. The first half of the previous year included a one-off effect of EUR 1.9 million. Adjusted for this effect and taking into account the contribution margins from the aforementioned order backlog, EBIT is in line with the plan for the first half of 2025/26 and has improved by EUR 0.8 million compared with the first half of the previous year.

Expected revenue and costs for the second half of the year confirm the full-year forecast of EUR 49 million in revenue with a balanced EBIT for the 2025/26 financial year. Personnel and material costs in the reporting year will be 25% and EUR 6.5 million lower respectively than in the previous year due to the successfully implemented restructuring. One-off restructuring costs amount to EUR 2.0 million in the current financial year.
