Semperit AG Holding: US tariff policy and lower global order activity lead
to adjustment of EBITDA guidance for 2025 – Guidance 2026 suspended due to
current high uncertainties
Vienna, April 8, 2025 – The tariffs imposed by the US on imports of
varying amounts, as well as a continued slowdown in order intake and the
resulting capacity adjustments will have a significant impact on the
current business performance of Semperit AG Holding based on current
forecasts. Against this background and assuming that the recently
announced tariffs will remain unchanged for Semperit’s main production
sites, the Executive Board expects an operating EBITDA in the range of EUR
65 million to EUR 85 million (originally: EUR 70 million to EUR 90
million) for the 2025 financial year.
In view of the current high level of uncertainty regarding further or
modified protectionist measures and the start of a broader economic
recovery, the medium-term target, according to which operating EBITDA
should reach around EUR 120 million in 2026, has been suspended for the
time being.
In the 2024 financial year, the US market accounted for around EUR 76
million of revenue (total revenue: EUR 676.6 million). The tariffs imposed
by the US on imports are expected to lead to additional costs and
unfavorable shifts in volume, particularly in the Semperit Industrial
Applications division (SIA, mainly affecting hoses).
The Semperit Engineered Applications (SEA) division is characterized by
continued restrained order activity due to the market environment. Against
this backdrop, Semperit’s Executive Board has decided to adjust capacities
temporarily.
