Novem Group S.A.: HY 2026/ 27 figures reflect improved profitability

HY 2026/27 revenue of €276.3 million, +8.6% above HY 2025/26 Adj. EBIT1 of €19.5 million, +26.8% above PY Higher revenue driven by Tooling business Luxembourg, 12 November 2026 – Novem Group S.A. today published its half-year figures for the financial year 2026/27. In the first six months of 2026/27, the Group generated total revenue of €276.3 million, up 8.6% compared to previous year amid ongoing headwinds in the global automotive market and diverging regional developments. Robust revenue development In Q2 2026/27, revenue Series of €110.5 million declined by -4.8% compared to last year, mainly driven by Americas, but partly offset by Europe and Asia. On the other hand, revenue Tooling of €33.2 million surpassed previous year notably by €23.8 million, benefiting from several project closures and was the main contributor to higher revenue. On a segmental basis, top line in Europe (€+26.5 million y/y) increased markedly, mainly supported by favourable Tooling business. By contrast, revenue in Americas (€-7.0 million y/y) fell short of prior year largely due to lower Series business, while higher Tooling provided a partial offset. In Asia (€-1.3 million y/y), top line decreased, primarily attributable to weaker revenue Tooling, partly compensated by modest growth in Series. Adj. EBIT of €10.7 million in Q2 2026/27 exceeded last year by €3.0 million and translated into an Adj. EBIT margin1 of 7.5% (PY: 6.1%). The increase in operating result was driven by higher top line due to strong revenue Tooling, in particular following several project closures in Europe. Investments with focus on Europe Free cash flow1 of €13.7 million in the second quarter of financial year 2026/27 was below prior year’s figure of €15.8 million by €-2.1 million. The minor deterioration was mainly attributable to lower cash flow from operating activities in comparison to previous year due to an increase in receivables and higher deferred expenses. In the second quarter of financial year 2026/27, capital expenditure1 of €2.1 million declined by €-0.3 million compared to last year (€2.4 million). Most of capex was related to investments in the central office in Vorbach (Germany) and the plant in Pilsen (Czech Republic). The reduced investments resulted in an underlying capex ratio of 1.5% (PY: 1.9%). Improved net leverage ratio As of 30 September 2026, total working capital1 amounted to €139.5 million and was therefore higher than prior year’s figure of €137.2 million. The unfavourable deviation of €-2.3 million was primarily driven by higher trade receivables, contract assets and inventories. Gross financial debt1 of €191.9 million recorded notably below last year (30 September 2025: €292.1 million) by €-100.2 million. As of 30 September 2026, net financial debt1 totalled €101.6 million and improved compared to previous year’s figure of €138.7 million. Accordingly, the net leverage ratio1 decreased notably to 1.6x Adj. EBITDA1 from 2.0x in the prior year.
