ADHOC ANNOUNCEMENT

ElringKlinger raises 2026 full-year revenue guidance

According to preliminary figures, ElringKlinger AG (ISIN DE0007856023 / WKN 785602) recorded Group revenue of EUR 451 million in the third quarter of 2026 (Q3 2025: EUR 395 million). This brings Group revenue for the first nine months of 2026 to EUR 1,360 million (9M 2025: EUR 1,227 million). Against this backdrop, the Management Board is raising its 2026 full-year revenue guidance to around EUR 1.8 billion (previously: up slightly year-on-year in organic terms; 2025 revenue: EUR 1,641 million). The guidance takes account of current market conditions and is based on the assumption that neither the macroeconomic nor the industry environment will change materially over the remainder of the year. The Group reaffirms its full-year guidance for the remaining financial metrics as well as its medium-term outlook.

Preliminary figures show that the Group generated adjusted EBIT of EUR 29.2 million in the third quarter of 2026 (Q3 2025: EUR 21.2 million), with an adjusted EBIT margin of 6.5% (Q3 2025: 5.4%). Adjusted EBIT for the first nine months of 2026 therefore totals EUR 87.2 million (9M 2025: EUR 65.9 million), corresponding to an adjusted EBIT margin of 6.4% (9M 2025: 5.4%). With adjusted EBITDA of EUR 53.0 million for the reporting quarter (Q3 2025: EUR 41.1 million) and net financial liabilities of EUR 350 million (Sept. 30, 2025: EUR 389 million), preliminary figures indicate an adjusted net debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 1.7 at quarter-end (Sept. 30, 2025: 2.2). Based on preliminary figures, operating free cash flow amounted to EUR 28.5 million in the third quarter of 2026 (Q3 2025: EUR 18.0 million) and EUR minus 29.0 million for the first nine months of 2026 (9M 2025: EUR -78.6 million).

The Group is scheduled to release its full results for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2026 on November 5, 2026.
