Strong order intake from European customers, while orders from theUS were more hesitant; success rate for quotations around 50%.
Order backlog provides good visibility in the equipment business.Net sales declined as a result of an exceptional number of project postponements, which shifted the corresponding sales and profits to the current year.
As a consequence, also EBITDA and EBITDA-Margin were below
previous year's level.Profit for 2025 amounted to CHF 17.6 million. The Board of Directors will propose a dividend of CHF 0.22 per share (payout ratio 30%).
Investments mainly used to build-up Pre-Approved Services.
Two strategic acquisitions to further broaden our offering to
customers.

SKAN
Contrasting segment performance
Equipment & Solutions
Good orders for complex filling lines for oncology applications and biotechnologically produced injectable large molecules.Weaker financial performance due to project postponements.
Gaps in production were filled with pre-production of standard isolators
(e.g. for quality control), which partially compensated for the shift of sales.
Good progress with Integrated Process Solutions; significant portion of R&D expenditures (7.4% of net sales) was allocated to this strategic initiative.
Services & Consumables
Segment performed well and installed base continued to expand.Acquisitions of Metronik and ABC Transfer contributed to growth and earnings; support SKAN's strategy of increasing the share of services and consumables in total sales, thereby improving the Group's margin profile. Development of Pre-Approved Services successfully continued; initial customer feedback very positive; commercial launch planned for 2HY 2026.

Pipeline largely consisting of oncology-related projects (e.g. Antibody Drug Conjugates).Softer H2 order intake mainly driven by the U.S. market, where extended customer decision cycles delayed awards.
Book-to-bill-ratio improved from 1.0x to 1.1x, mainly reflecting the lower net sales level in the period while confirming continued healthy order intake.
Europe (62.4%) remained the core market, while the Americas share (28.5%) reflected more cautious customer decisions; U.S. growth was primarily driven by Services & Consumables.

H2 net sales rose by ~48%, primarily driven by a catch-up effect from the sale of pre-produced standard systems (e.g. sterility testing).
The order backlog rose from CHF 318.3m to CHF 346.1m during the reporting year, which gives good planning visibility.
Approx. CHF 15m to 20m of the order backlog is subject to potential cancellation risk, with no impact on current-year net sales expectations as these orders are not included in the plan.

EBITDA declined by 32.3% to CHF 38.6m, with margin at 11.6%, mainly due to lower net sales in project business and higher operating expenses.EBITDA was generated almost exclusively in H2, reflecting a materially stronger second-half earnings profile, with an H2 EBITDA margin of around 19%.
Material intensity decreased from 26.4% to 23.0%, driven by a higher share of Services & Consumables, which also supported a slight improvement in gross margin.
Workforce increased by 284 employees to 1'755, including 208 from acquisitions and 76 organic additions, leading to a moderate rise in personnel expenses (+1.8%) and personnel intensity to 50.2%.
Other operating expenses rose by CHF 6.1m, driven by acquisitions, higher travel, and IT-

SKAN
Strong market drivers and confident business outlook
Market development Business development
SKAN Group is focused on a market that is benefiting from structural growth. Main drivers are: The underlying growth of the global pharmaceuticaland biotech market;The reinforcing trend towards injectable drugs (three quarters of drugs in development are designed for injectable dosage form);
The replacement of traditional cleanrooms with safer and more sustainable isolator technology;
The reshoring of pharmaceutical production.
As a consequence, demand for SKAN's equipment, services and consumables will continue, as evidenced by the solid order backlog and well-filled order pipeline.
Based on the structural growth drivers and the solid order backlog, the Board of Directors and management are confident for the current year.
We expect a softer H1 vs. H2 due to project timing.
Momentum in the biotech market is improving, with solid project discussions underway. As a result, we expect shorter decision cycles and fewer investment delays than last year.
Cell & Gene Therapy is rebounding, with the market recovering after 2-3 years of capital scarcity. We expect to benefit from this renewed momentum going forward.
With our premium technology and the capabilities gained through the recent acquisitions, SKAN is well positioned to deliver a holistic offering along the pharmaceutical value chain, enhancing customer value and unlocking additional growth potential.
