The SCHWEIZER Group published its 2026 interim financial report today. In the first half of the year, the company achieved consolidated sales of €92.1 million, compared to €82.2 million in the same period of the previous year (+11.9%). The order backlog increased to €257.5 million as of June 30, 2026, representing a 32.7% increase over the €194.1 million figure at the end of 2025.
Business with customers in the non-mobility sector developed particularly well, increasing by 30.6%. This was driven by a fourfold increase in the aviation and defense sector. Despite the current weakness in the automotive industry, growth of over 8.3% was also achieved with this customer group.
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) improved to €0.2 million in the first half of 2026 , compared to -€1.1 million in the same period of the previous year. Adjusted for restructuring expenses of €0.4 million, EBITDA amounted to €0.6 million. The improved results were primarily due to the effects of the restructuring program, a higher gross margin, and consistent cost management.
The equity ratio amounted to 18.2% as of June 30, 2026, compared to 21.4% as of December 31, 2025. Despite the negative consolidated result and the increased working capital, the company continues to assess its capital structure as sustainable.
Outlook:
Based on business performance in the first half of the year, the Executive Board has specified its forecast for fiscal year 2026. SCHWEIZER now expects consolidated revenue in the range of €170 million to €185 million, up from the previous forecast of €165 million to €185 million. Adjusted EBITDA is projected to be in the range of €3.3 million to €4.0 million; the previous forecast was €3.3 million to €6.0 million. The Executive Board now expects the equity ratio at year-end to be in the range of 17% to 20%, down from the previous forecast of 20% to 23%.
The Management Board views the operational performance in the first half of the year as confirmation of the measures already implemented. The high order backlog and the deliveries expected for the second half of the year form a key basis for achieving the specified annual targets.
