Management comments
  • Group: Restructuring program underway and overall savings target for 2025 to be overachieved. Challenging macroeconomic environment and increased uncertainty due to volatile tariff policies and effects from OBBBA

  • LSPS division: A good start in H1 and solid order backlog

  • HBS division: Difficult market conditions, subdued demand, slow de-stocking by distributors and inventory write-downs. Risk of further deterioration

remains



SMA Solar Technology

  1. Including approx. €40m for cap. R&D costs and approx. €10m for IFRS16 Leasing (leasing liabilities incl. payments over next 10+ years)

  2. Including a low double-digit million Euro amount for unscheduled depreciation 15

  3. Including €19m positive one-time effect from the sale of shares in elexon and low double-digit million Euro amount from sale of battery storage project by Altenso

  4. H1 2025 profitability includes positive one-time effect from a claim settlement ~10m€ and negative effects from Inventory and Purch. Obligation provisions~50m € and provisions for Doubtful Receivables ~7m €. .
