The CPH Group (CPH) reported net sales of CHF 334.1 mn, corresponding to a 3.3% increase year-on-year (YoY). This growth was driven primarily by acquisitions (+8.1%), while currency effects (-3.8%) and organic factors (-1.0%) were a drag. EBITDA for the group amounted to CHF 50.3 mn, a 6.5% decline YoY. The corresponding margin dropped to 15.0% (FY24: 16.6%). Group EBIT came in at CHF 32.8 mn, while the corresponding margin declined to 9.8% (FY24: 12.1%). The net result declined to CHF 23.4 mn compared to CHF 34.4 mn in FY24, impacted by the elimination of one-time financial and non-operating income that benefitted the prior-year figures and higher financial expenses due to acquisitions. Cash flow from operating activities amounted to CHF 34.1 mn (FY24: CHF 53.3 mn) and free cash flow declined by 53.1% to CHF 16.4 mn, primarily due to an increase in net working capital of CHF 8.4 mn.
