The effect will be longer sales cycles, higher technical requirements, but also potentially more recurring service and software revenue.

EBIT below last year due to higher costs for service expansion to cover growing installed base, currency effects and less capitalized R&D projects. Expected HBS sales above previous year with EBIT also above last year due to restructuring and transformation program, but still not back in black. Additional headwinds may result from changes in legislation, uncertainties about potential refunds of tariffs in the US and FX development Guidance 2026 (in €m) 1,475 - 1,675 1,516 50 - 180 -65 2025 2026e 2025 2 2026e Sales EBITDA 2026 CapEx (incl.
