S.p.A., a leader in the laser market listed on the Euronext STAR Milan ("STAR") market of the Italian Stock Exchange, today released the interim financial report as of September 30, 2025, which reports consolidated revenues of 421,9 million of euro , up approximately 3,9% compared to 406,2 million in the same period of 2024, and an EBIT of 55 million of euro , a slight decrease of approximately 3,3% compared to 56,9 million of euro in the same period of 2024. Quarterly revenue amounted to 136,6 million of euro, up 1,36% compared to 134,8 million of euro in the corresponding quarter of 2024. EBIT for the quarter , amounting to 20,4 million of euro, representing 14,9% of revenue compared to 19,6 million in the same period of 2024, increased by approximately 4%, highlighting the recovery trend compared to the previous financial year. Gabriele Clementi , President of EL.EN. Spa said: "We are extremely satisfied with the overall quarterly results, which once again highlight the vitality of our group in a still dynamic macro and microeconomic context, with excellent growth across our business areas within a consolidation perimeter modified following the divestment of our majority stake in our industrial assets in China. Accelerating compared to previous quarters, the financial results fully align with projections for revenue and operating income growth, confirming the extraordinary strength and reliability of our business model. The performance of the medical sector is particularly positive, playing a key role in boosting the consolidated results for the quarter. The industrial sector also showed positive growth, reaffirming our ongoing commitment to innovation and efficiency in a rapidly transforming market, as well as our ability to react swiftly and adapt to new circumstances. Regarding revenues, both sectors showed progress over the nine months, with an increase of 4.6% in the medical sector and 2% in the industrial sector". The group's good performance continued in the third quarter of 2025, also in terms of consolidated quarterly pre-tax Income, which exceeded that of the third quarter of 2024 by approximately 1,5 million of euro (20,4 million versus 18,9 million of euro), narrowing the gap with the cumulative result as of September 30 (a gap that remains wide due to both the positive extraordinary items that characterized 2024 and financial management, penalized in 2025 by the unfavorable trend in foreign exchange rates and negative exchange differences). The medical sector's performance was particularly impressive, reflecting an overall favorable market environment with a consolidated level of demand. The group consolidated its increasingly popular position in the segments that currently represent its core strengths: laser applications for aesthetic medicine and surgery, supported by advanced and diversified technologies, as well as the supply of sterile optical fibers, whose sales volume is growing significantly thanks to the progressive increase in the number of systems installed and operational in healthcare facilities. In the industrial sector, the Cutting segment (which no longer includes then Chinese companies) showed a slight positive performance, thanks to the excellent sales results of the Brazilian subsidiary Cutlite do Brazil and also thanks to the inorganic contribution of Nexam - the company dedicated to the manufacture of automation systems for Cutlite's laser systems (Prato) - the majority of which was acquired at the beginning of 2025. Lasit also performed well in the nine-month period in the industrial marking segment for identification, marking, and total traceability, improving its results thanks in part to its foreign subsidiaries, which bring it closer to end customers. Ot-las also reported a good recovery in the quarter with its marking systems for large surfaces and special applications, including decoration. Regarding operating profit, the medical sector's contribution remained predominant and consolidated, reaching nearly 17% EBIT margin on sales. Results improved compared to 2024 for most of the business units active in the sector-Deka, Quanta System, Asa, and Esthelogue-and even the German company Asclepion posted excellent results in the quarter, which enhanced then consolidated financial results. The industrial sector saw an overall decline in operating profit. However, as reported, the identification marking systems business area, managed by Lasit, continued to post significantly higher earnings in the period than the previous year. Other smaller businesses in the industrial sector (CO2 laser sources) continued to experience a weak market. Regarding cash flow, the third quarter benefited from the net proceeds from the sale of the majority stake in Penta Laser Zhejiang, amounting to approximately 26,4 million of euro. During the same period, fixed investments amounted to 3,3 million, while cash flow from current operations was significantly positive thanks to operating profitability and a slight decrease in overall net working capital. The net financial position thus improved to 137,4 million of euro, an increase of 47 million in the quarter and 26 million of euro since the beginning of the year. This performance is in line with overall forecasts and the seasonal nature of cash generation typical of the Group's business, with the additional, one-time contribution from the sale of Penta Laser Zhejiang. The innovative processes that enable the Group to enhance its product range and offer customers attractive, cutting-edge solutions remain central to its operations, strategic focus, and investments. Medium-term growth indications in its core markets remain positive, and the Group continues to rely on their development, believing it essential to continue investing in research, development, and innovation to improve its competitiveness over time and benefit from the growth opportunities emerging from the markets. Throughout the year, the Group continued its sustainability activities, which are also included among the performance indicators for management compensation. The 2023-2027 Sustainability Plan, now in its third year of implementation, was integrated at the end of last year with specific and measurable objectives, aligned with the most recent European regulatory provisions, with particular reference to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). The Plan continues to focus on strategic issues such as the fight against climate change, the circular economy, the promotion of a responsible supply chain, the development of human capital, and the contribution to local communities, reaffirming the El.En. Group's commitment to sustainable development in which environmental and social responsibility are an integral part of the business model. In the medical sector , the Group recorded a turnover of 307,5 million of eur o in the nine months compared to 294 million in the same period of 2024 (+4,6%). Revenue increase was recorded in each of the application segments of the medical sector in which the Group operates. Sales of systems in the aesthetics segment , amounting to 171,9 million of euro , continued to increase (+3.74%) thanks to the progressive consolidation of sales of laser systems for rejuvenation (anti-aging) using CO 2 micro-ablative technology, and of Onda Pro, followed by Deka's Red Touch Pro system. This despite the decline in the hair removal segment, the most important in terms of turnover (but also the one with the lowest margins), which was made more pronounced during the year by the interruption of supplies to the important customer Cynosure.The excellent performance continued in the segment of surgical systems for applications in urology, ENT and gynecology, which recorded revenues of 60,7 million of euro (+7,60%) and the recovery in physiotherapy systems consolidated with revenues of 12,2 million of euro , +4.56% compared to the same period of the previous financial year. For the residual "other" segment, the marked increase ( +28.45%) was primarily due to the recovery in the North American dental market. Medical Services revenue, amounting to 61,2 million of euro (+3.68%), includes revenues from services and goods sold after the sale of systems. The contribution of sales of sterile optical fibers, used as consumables in urological surgery, continued to be fundamental and steadily growing for this revenue item. Sales of sterile optical fibers in fact exceeded 50% of the segment's total revenues. Quanta System is starting construction of a new, larger, semi-robotized clean room at its Samarate facility, dedicated to the production of sterile optical fibers, to increase its production capacity for this medical device. Industrial sector revenues continued to grow after the third quarter, both for systems and after-sales service, recording revenues of 114,4 million of euro, up 1,94% compared to the first nine months of the previous year. In the cutting segment , the group's most important ( 76.8 million of euro ), even after the sale of its Chinese operations, growth (2,14%) was marginal and below expectations. Sales performance continued to stand out in the Brazilian market, where the group has been established for years with an operating subsidiary. Sales in international markets are growing, although not showing particularly strong performance. Cutlite launched local operations in Germany, Poland, and Spain through the establishment of operating subsidiaries in the region, which have yet to fully develop their potential. The marking segment ( 20,4 million of euro) maintained slight growth (+1,91% ), despite a slight slowdown in the third quarter, which saw a significant recovery in sales in the segment of large-surface marking applications (Ot-las). In the laser sources segment , the slowdown was more evident and was primarily due to the decline in revenues from system integrators for fashion applications and electric motor windings. Sales for Services to the industrial marker (approximately 14,2 million of euro) returned to show a slight increase ( 5,78% ), as expected, due to the progressive increase in the installed base of systems that require technical assistance and consumables for their normal use. The art conservation sector performed extremely well (+21,83%), continuing to deliver significant results thanks to extraordinary successes in the cleaning, conservation, and recovery of artistic heritage. These results are made possible by the unique and effective technologies developed by the group in this field. Right now, in our city of Florence, we have the opportunity to admire the results of an extraordinary restoration carried out with our technologies on the Franciscan Triptych (Altarpiece of the Company of Saint Francis in Santa Croce), exhibited at Palazzo Strozzi in Florence within the BEATO ANGELICO exhibition. El.En. lasers provided a vital contribution to the approximately four-year long restoration of Beato Angelico's fifteenth-century masterpiece. Specifically, the Erbium:YAG laser assisted the expert restorers in the extremely difficult removal of gray oxalate layers, while the EOS 1000 LQS laser provided a fundamental contribution to the restoration of the gilding. The work, restored by the Opificio delle Pietre Dure in Florence, and permanently exhibited in the San Marco museum complex in the Tuscan capital, has been reassembled for the first time, also acquiring the panels of the so-called predella "dispersed" between Berlin, the Vatican Museums and the Altenburg Museum in Germany. Geographically , the greatest growth was recorded in Italy , with a growth of approximately 13,4% and a turnover of 81,0 million of euro compared to approximately 71,5 million in the same period of 2024. Europe followed, with growth of approximately 9,8% and a turnover of 127,8 million of euro, compared to 116,4 million in the same period of 2024. The Rest of the World recorded a turnover of approximately 213,1 million of euro, a 2,40% decrease. The most positive note came from the Italian market, where growth in the medical sector was extraordinary (approximately 27%). The Group's leadership position, particularly that of its brands Renaissance, Deka, and Esthelogue, was consolidated as the primary reference for the medical and professional aesthetics sectors in the country. In the industrial sector, Italian turnover also recovered in the quarter (up approximately 6,4% ), thanks to increased confidence among manufacturing market operators, supported by the return of tax policies to support investment. The performance in European markets was highly satisfactory , particularly in the German medical and professional aesthetics/beauty sectors, and in the industrial sector, thanks to the progressive consolidation of the sales subsidiaries' activities, particularly by Lasit. Gross margin for the nine months stood at 188,3 million of euro, up approximately 6,4% from 176,9 million at September 30, 2024, with a significant recovery in margins, rising from 43,6% in 2024 to 44,6% in 2025. EBITDA for the first nine months was positive at 65,6 million of euro, in line with the 65,9 million at September 30, 2024. EBITDA margin decreased from 16,2% in 2024 to 15,6% in 2025. EBIT at the end of the nine months of 2025 was positive at 55 million of euro, compared to 56,9 million at September 30, 2024, with a 13% EBIT margin for the period. As for the third quarter, the result was a clear improvement compared to the previous year and the margin on sales was up to 14,9% . Pre-tax Income for the nine months was positive at approximately 52,2 million, compared to 61,2 million at September 30, 2024. This represents a 12,4% margin on revenues, compared to 15,0% in the same period of 2024, a decrease of 14,8%. It should be noted that the 2024 financial year benefited from a net income of 5,0 million following the remeasurement of a liability arising from the purchase of certain minority stakes in the Chinese company Penta Laser Zhejiang in 2020. The Group's net financial position as of September 30, 2025 was positive and increased by approximately 47,4 million of euro in the third quarter from approximately 90 million at June 30, 2025, reaching approximately 137,4 million at September 30, 2025 . Over the nine months, the increase was approximately 26,8 million, thanks to the excellent performance of cash flow generation by current activities and the proceeds received for the sale of the majority stake in Penta Laser Zhejiang for a net amount of approximately 26,4 million of euro. Furthermore, the balance of liquidity invested in insurance-type financial instruments, classified as non-current financial assets and therefore not included in the net financial position, as of September 30, amounted to 10,7 million of euro. The increase in net working capital absorbed approximately 19,0 million of euro over the nine months, while approximately 1,8 million were released by changes in other payables and receivables, including advances received from customers and VAT receivables. Capex amounted to 13,3 million of euro, in addition to 3 million of euro for liquidity investments in insurance policies. Dividends distributed by the parent company and certain subsidiaries in May totaled approximately 18,6 million of euro. * * * * * * * The manager responsible for preparing the company's accounting documents, Dr. Enrico Romagnoli, declares, pursuant to paragraph 2 of Article 154- bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance, that the accounting information contained in this press release corresponds to the documentary evidence, books, and accounting records. * * * * * * * Research and Development activities.
