   Vienna, November 12, 2025 – In the third quarter of 2025, the Semperit
   Group continued the improvement in earnings, which had begun despite a
   market environment that remained challenging. After a subdued start to the
   year, EBITDA rose to EUR 21.3 million in the third quarter, compared with
   EUR 19.6 million (Q2 2025) and EUR 11.1 million (Q1 2025). Revenue for the
   first three quarters amounted to EUR 483.4 million (–4.6%), EBITDA to EUR
   52.0 million (–18.6%) and operating EBITDA before project costs to EUR
   55.6 million (–14.3%).

   “The order situation has recovered noticeably over the course of the year
   and contributed to the positive earnings development in the third quarter.
   At the same time, we have sustainably strengthened our margins with
   further measures to increase efficiency. The savings defined since the
   beginning of the year will again reduce our annual cost base by more than
   EUR 10 million,” says Semperit CEO Manfred Stanek. “Even though the market
   environment remains challenging, we believe we are very well positioned
   for the coming year. Our lean processes, our innovative strength and the
   development of new product segments enable us to benefit above average
   from even a slight market recovery.”

   Free cash flow – net cash flow adjusted for interest payments, which is
   available for strategic growth, dividends and debt repayment – remained
   stable at EUR 22.3 million (previous year: EUR 22.4 million).

   The Semperit Group has a robust balance sheet and financing base with an
   equity ratio of 47.0% (December 31, 2024: 47.2%) and a conservative
   leverage ratio, measured by net financial debt in relation to EBITDA, of
   1.5x (December 31, 2024: 1.2x). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR
   86.6 million (December 31, 2024: EUR 126.0 million) after a Schuldschein
   loan with a nominal value of EUR 31 million was repaid from own resources
   in the third quarter.

   Outlook

   Operating EBITDA (before project costs) of around EUR 78 million is
   expected for the 2025 financial year (previously: EUR 65 million to EUR 85
   million). The costs for the digitalization project oneERP that will affect
   earnings will amount to around EUR 5 million.

   Detailed results

   The Semperit Group, which focuses exclusively on industrial customers with
   its two divisions, Semperit Industrial Applications (SIA) and Semperit
   Engineered Applications (SEA), generated revenue of EUR 483.4 million
   (–4.6%) in the first three quarters of 2025. The SIA division, which
   comprises Hoses and Profiles, generated revenue of EUR 201.2 million
   (–1.0%) and EBITDA of EUR 37.7 million (–8.3%). This resulted in a
   divisional margin of 18.7% (–1.5 PP). In the Hose business unit, direct
   customers have stopped destocking, while the profile business continues to
   be affected by the weak construction industry. The SEA division (Form,
   Belting and Liquid Silicone Rubber/LSR), which was confronted with project
   postponements by customers in the conveyor belt and LSR mold businesses in
   the first quarter, recovered in the following quarters and generated
   revenue of EUR 282.2 million (–7.0%), EBITDA of EUR 26.3 million (–28.5%)
   and an EBITDA margin of 9.3% (–2.8 PP).

   Inventories of own products increased in the Group by EUR 9.4 million in
   the first nine months as inventory levels normalized (previous year:
   inventory reduction of EUR 3.3 million). Total expenses remained stable at
   EUR 449.6 million (previous year: EUR 446.6 million). Cost of materials
   amounted to EUR 215.5 million (previous year: EUR 213.5 million),
   personnel expenses to EUR 166.5 million (previous year: EUR 166.4 million)
   and other operating expenses to EUR 67.6 million (EUR 66.7 million).

   EBITDA thus reached EUR 52.0 million (previous year: EUR 63.9 million) and
   the EBITDA margin was 10.8% (previous year: 12.6%). Operating EBITDA
   amounted to EUR 55.6 million (previous year: EUR 64.8 million) and the
   margin to 11.5% (previous year: 12.8%). EBITDA was adjusted for effects on
   income from the Group’s flagship digital transformation project (oneERP)
   amounting to EUR 3.5 million.

   Regular depreciation and amortization increased slightly to EUR 36.9
   million (previous year: EUR 34.6 million). Impairment losses on intangible
   assets amounted to EUR 3.3 million and related to the customer base in the
   Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) segment. EBIT thus amounted to EUR 11.8
   million (previous year: EUR 26.8 million).

   The financial result amounted to EUR –15.4 million (previous year: EUR
   –12.1 million), with the deviation primarily attributable to negative
   currency effects resulting from the weaker US dollar.

   Tax expenses fell to EUR 4.8 million (previous year: EUR 7.7 million),
   bringing earnings after tax to EUR –8.4 million (previous year: EUR 7.1
   million). This corresponds to earnings per share of EUR –0.41 (previous
   year: EUR 0.35).
