✦ Bright spots — protect and push

  • Aftermarket & spares margin at 45.1% — the most profitable line is also growing; shifting 2pp of mix here is worth ≈ €0.2M EBITDA per year.
  • Price & mix added €0.9M EBITDA — the bridge shows pricing discipline is working; renew the indexation clauses coming due in Q3.
  • Book-to-bill at 1.07 — order intake outpaces revenue for the fourth straight month; H2 volume is substantially secured.
  • Gdańsk plant at 91% utilization — best-in-network efficiency; its setup-time practices are the template for the other sites.

⚠ Hot spots — act this quarter

  • Inventory days up 7 to 78 — ≈ €0.7M of extra cash tied up; the working-capital chart shows the build started in February. Priority: slow-mover review and purchasing cadence reset.
  • Input costs & energy took €1.1M off EBITDA — only partially recovered through price; materials are 52% of the cost base, so hedging and dual-sourcing decisions are due.
  • Eindhoven at 79% utilization — six points below target; either the Q3 order book fills it or the maintenance window moves forward.
  • Custom Projects margin at 22.4% — below the 25% project floor; two contracts drive it, both up for re-pricing or exit review.
