EBIT adjusting items principally relate to restructuring, impairment losses, provisions, gains or losses on significant disposals of assets or subsidiaries and the effect of the electricity purchase and sale agreement.
(Net financial debt) / Net cash position equals cash and cash equivalents, short and long-term investments minus non-current and current loans and borrowings and bank overdrafts.

The Agro revenue, when excluding the foreign exchange effect, increased by +17.0% in 2025. Revenue was positively impacted by the contribution of the Tiger-Sul activity (Crop Nutrition), only acquired in November 2024, and the acquisition of Metam labels in the United States and Canada in October 2025 (Crop Protection). The 2025 revenue also increased thanks to higher volumes and increased sales prices.
The 2025 Adjusted EBITDA of Agro increased by +14.6%, when excluding the foreign exchange effect, to 117.8 million EUR. The Adjusted EBITDA of Crop Nutrition and Tessenderlo Kerley International was positively impacted by more favorable market circumstances. The 2025 Crop Protection Adjusted EBITDA decreased as the contribution of the newly acquired Metam labels was not able to offset the recognition of a -7.0 million EUR inventory write-off.

In 2025, Bio-valorization revenue decreased by -2.6% compared to 2024, when excluding the foreign exchange effect. The volumes of PB Leiner were negatively impacted by the reorganization of the European bone gelatin activities in 2025 as well as by an incident in September 2025 in the Argentina collagen production facility. Also, gelatin and collagen selling prices were negatively impacted by unfavorable market conditions. Akiolis revenue increased in 2025 thanks to an increase of volumes and improved selling prices.
The 2025 Adjusted EBITDA of Bio-valorization increased by +78.2%, when excluding the foreign exchange effect, to 16.1 million EUR. The Adjusted EBITDA of PB Leiner increased as the lower revenue and continued margin pressure were more than offset by the positive impact of the stop of the European Bone Chain activities and further implemented cost saving measures. No insurance compensation, related to the incident that occurred in September 2025 at the Argentina collagen production facility, was yet recognized in 2025, but is expected to be confirmed in 2026. The Akiolis Adjusted EBITDA increased in 2025 thanks to improved market circumstances.

The 2025 revenue decreased by -2.4%, when excluding the foreign exchange effect. Various 2025 sales initiatives within DYKA Group were not able to offset the continued low demand in the construction market. The revenue of Kuhlmann Europe and moleko decreased in 2025, as these activities were impacted by lower sales volumes.
The Adjusted EBITDA of Industrial Solutions decreased by -34.5% in 2025, when excluding the foreign exchange effect, to 43.5 million EUR. The result of DYKA Group was negatively impacted by unfavorable market circumstances. The 2025 Adjusted EBITDA of Kuhlmann Europe and moleko decreased following lower sales volumes.

The revenue of Machines & Technologies increased in 2025 by +10.3% compared to 2024, when excluding the foreign exchange effect, mainly thanks to more favorable market circumstances for Picanol (weaving machines) in 1H25. In line with expectations, geopolitical and economic uncertainty continued to impact customer investment decisions, and negatively impacted results in the second half of 2025, leading to a lower Picanol revenue compared to 2H24. The revenue of Proferro (foundry and mechanical finishing) and Psicontrol (development and production of electronics) remained stable in 2025, while the first contribution of Osterwalder (acquired in June 2025) positively impacted the segments' revenue.
The 2025 Adjusted EBITDA increased by +90.2%, when excluding the foreign exchange effect, to 51.3 million EUR, thanks to a higher contribution of Picanol, Proferro and Psicontrol, also helped by the positive impact of cost control measures. The newly acquired activity Osterwalder had no material impact on the 2025 Adjusted EBITDA.

In 2025, the revenue and the Adjusted EBITDA of T-Power slightly increased because of contractual impacts. These results were in line with expectations, as T-Power nv fulfilled all tolling agreement requirements. As the current tolling agreement will end as per June 30, 2026, the group continues to assess various options for the long-term utilization of the T-Power plant as a safe and reliable partner in the current energy mix. A final decision on its utilization is expected in the first half of 2026.
