Birkenfeld, November 7, 2025

“Despite a challenging environment, STRATEC can report consolidated sales growth for the first nine months of 2025. Driven by trade policy tensions, temporary interruptions are apparent in the supply chains for some of our system lines. These particularly relate to the supply situation for a specific type of magnet. This already led to delays in planned system deliveries in the third quarter. Production volumes will also be adversely affected by this factor in the fourth quarter of 2025, meaning that we only expect to be able to make up for most of these delivery backlogs in the first quarter of 2026. As a result, we recently made a slight adjustment to our sales guidance for 2025. Despite the lower benefits of scale now expected and continuing unfavorable exchange rates, it is nevertheless pleasing to note that we can confirm the lower end of the forecast corridor for the adjusted EBIT margin. This confirms the program of efficiency measures we have initiated. The renewed increase in demand and our customers’ greater willingness to engage in new development partnerships in the area of systems give us additional confidence. Our power of innovation and great competitiveness enable us to react flexibly to market changes and draw on those opportunities arising in a demanding climate”, comments Marcus Wolfinger, Chief Executive Officer of STRATEC SE.

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
STRATEC increased its consolidated sales year-on-year by 2.5% on a constant-currency basis (nominal: +1.5%) to € 175.6 million in the first nine months of 2025 (9M/2024: € 173.0 million). Systems sales at constant currency virtually matched the previous year’s level. Alongside start-up curves for new product launches remaining flatter than usual, the third quarter also brought supply chain interruptions in connection with trade policy tensions and thus delivery backlogs with some system lines. By contrast, the stabilization in demand for system lines which had seen disruptions in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic continued apace. Constant-currency sales with Service Parts and Consumables fell slightly short of the previous year’s high figure. In the third quarter of 2025, this division felt the effects of volatile order behavior and logistics optimization measures taken by customers to account for changeable global tariff restrictions. Conversely, sales with Development and Services showed double-digit percentage growth, benefiting from a high volume of development activities and numerous customer projects currently underway.

Adjusted EBIT amounted to € 12.8 million in the first nine months of 2025 (9M/2024: € 15.1 million). Compared with the previous year, the adjusted EBIT margin thus fell by 150 basis points from 8.8% to 7.3%. This was particularly due to product mix effects within the Systems operating division, as well as to a temporary dip in the share of high-margin Service Parts and Consumables in the third quarter of 2025. The margin performance was additionally held back by negative exchange rate effects.

Adjusted consolidated net income stood at € 7.1 million in the first nine months of 2025, compared with € 8.4 million in the previous year. Here, STRATEC witnessed a year-on-year improvement in its net financial expenses and an increase in its adjusted tax rate. Adjusted earnings per share (basic) amounted to € 0.58 (9M/2024: € 0.69).

The key earnings figures for the first nine months of 2025 have been adjusted to exclude amortization resulting from purchase price allocations in the context of acquisitions and other non-recurring items (including one-off advisory expenses, fees, and restructuring expenses). A reconciliation of the adjusted figures with those reported in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income can be found in the Quarterly Statement 9M|2025 also published today.

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE
As already communicated in the announcement published on October 30, 2025, STRATEC expects to witness temporary interruptions to the supply of input materials for some system lines in the fourth quarter of 2025. In particular, in connection with trade policy tensions supply chain interruptions have arisen for a specific type of magnet with impurities relating to export-restricted rare earths (share of rare earths in affected production batch: 0.1%). Against this backdrop, delivery backlogs already arose for system deliveries in the third quarter of 2025. STRATEC does not expect to receive sufficient quantities of input materials to make up for these delivery backlogs or for the production volumes originally planned for the fourth quarter of 2025. Furthermore, global tariff conflicts are leading to higher fluctuations in customers’ order behavior and to associated logistics optimization measures. These particularly affect the Service Parts and Consumables division. In view of these factors, on October 30, 2025 the Board of Management decided to adjust its sales guidance for the 2025 financial year. STRATEC now expects its consolidated sales at constant currency to approximately match the previous year’s figure. Despite the lower sales base hereby forecast and negative currency items, STRATEC confirmed the lower end of the forecast corridor of around 10.0% to 12.0% for its adjusted EBIT margin. The expected intra-year rise in profitability in the fourth quarter of 2025 is attributable to benefits of scale, efficiency measures, and higher earnings contributions from the realization of high-margin development sales.

Based on updated planning, STRATEC assumes that its investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets in the 2025 financial year will fall slightly short of the originally forecast range of a total of 8.0% to 10.0% of sales (2024: 7.1%).

PROJECTS AND OTHER DEVELOPMENTS
Together with its partners, in the third quarter of 2025 STRATEC once again made further scheduled progress with numerous development projects and paved the way for additional cooperation agreements. The increasing willingness shown by customers in recent months to reach decisions concerning cooperations in the systems development business continued. Among other aspects, STRATEC has observed growing demand for lifecycle transfers. Furthermore, customers are increasingly looking for partners who are able to assume full responsibility for design, production, and delivery for the entire product lifecycle. The background to this development involves reorganization measures and M&A activities at customers, as well as their strategic focus on products already established in the market. These factors are supplemented by changed market conditions and growing requirements in terms of materials procurement. Against this backdrop, STRATEC recently initiated a partnership for a well-established high-throughput product in the field of molecular diagnostics.

The third quarter of 2025 also saw the market launch of the P780, a next-generation analyzer system offered under the Diatron brand in the field of clinical chemistry. To address a wide range of target customers, the P780 was developed for medium to large laboratories, offering an innovative and scalable solution characterized by great reliability.

DEVELOPMENT IN PERSONNEL
Including personnel hired from temporary employment agencies and trainees, the STRATEC Group had a total of 1,420 employees as of September 30, 2025 (previous year: 1,462 employees). This corresponds to a reduction of 2.9% compared with the previous year’s reporting date and is to be viewed in connection with the continuation in 2025 of the measures taken to enhance efficiency and improve earnings.

Pentixapharm significantly reduces projected loss for financial year 2025

 

Berlin, Germany, November 6, 2025 – Pentixapharm Holding AG (Frankfurt Prime Standard: PTP), an advanced clinical-stage biotech developing radiopharmaceuticals, announces that its projected consolidated loss for the financial year 2025, based on an updated projection, will be significantly lower than previously anticipated.

 

The company now forecasts an annual loss of approximately €18 million instead of the previously expected €23.5 million. The forecasts for the separate financial statements of Pentixapharm Holding AG as well as the expected cash reach until the first quarter of 2027 remain unchanged.

 

The revised forecast reflects the realignment of the clinical development programs initiated in May 2025. In particular, the earlier-than-planned termination of the slow-recruiting diagnostic study in marginal zone lymphoma and optimized study design have lowered clinical spending more significantly than initially expected. With the sharpened focus on the clinically most value driving programs implemented in October 2025, the company is continuing to execute on its optimization course.

RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG closes third quarter of 2025 with solid results
 

• Revenues up by 7.8% while patient numbers increased by 2.5%
   
• EBITDA declined slightly to EUR 71.8 million due to the end to relief from the legislator for higher energy prices and challenges in cost trends
   
• Consolidated profit of EUR 25.1 million with a decrease in finance result keeps equity ratio stable
   
• Board of Management focused on managing  the Group in a consistent, flexible and sustainable manner at times of a difficult financial and economic environment for hospitals in Germany

RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG closed the third quarter of 2025 once again with an increase in revenues of 7.8% to EUR 1,262.1 million (9M 2024: EUR 1,171.1 million). From January to September 2025 a total of 705,830 patients were treated on an inpatient and outpatient basis in the Group’s hospitals and medical care centres, 2.5% more compared with the same period of the previous year (9M 2024: 688,787). At EUR 71.8 million, EBITDA was below the previous year’s level (9M 2024: EUR 75.1 million). Consolidated profit decreased to EUR 25.1 million (9M 2024: EUR 30.4 million). The equity capital ratio stands at 71.9% (FY 2024: 71.4%).

Despite stable performance indicators, consolidated profit was impacted by the end to reimbursements by the legislator for higher energy expenditures recognised in the amount of EUR 13 million in the previous year as well as the continuing downward trend in interest rates. Moreover, the first nine months of financial year 2025 continued to be characterized by indirect effects of geopolitical risks and resulting high purchasing prices, tariff increases and political developments associated with the hospital reform in Germany.

Dr. Stefan Stranz, member of the Board of Management of RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG: “Our Company’s performance continues to be stable, particularly as compared with the overall demanding situation of hospitals and the sector in Germany. Our high equity capital ratio underscores the Company’s sound financial structure.”   

Dr. Gunther K. Weiß, member of the Board of Management of RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG: “What the hospitals need from the government are clear statements on where the hospital sector is heading in future and on urgently needed solutions to key issues of the sector, such as structural underfunding and excessive red tape. These points have not yet been sufficiently addressed in the current drafts of the Hospital Reform Adjustment Act (Krankenhausreformanpassungsgesetz, KHAG).”

Outlook for 2025 confirmed

For the current financial year, the Group expects revenues of EUR 1.7 billion within a range of plus or minus 5%. For earnings before interest, tax and depreciation/amortisation (EBITDA), a level of between EUR 110 million and EUR 125 million is expected. In addition to the financial numbers, RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG also takes account of the non-financial performance indicators of number of cases and cost weights in the management of the Company. These are expected to see a moderate increase compared with the previous year.

This forecast reflects the heightened regulatory interference by the German legislator and the political implementation of the necessary hospital reform.

The Group notes that the outlook is subject to considerable uncertainties in connection with the numerous global crises resulting among other things in higher prices and supply chain issues, as well as any further regulatory measures impacting the remuneration structure for medical services in 2025.
 

The Quarterly Statement for Q3 2025 is published on the Internet.

 

RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG is one of the largest healthcare providers in Germany. The hospitals offer excellent medical care with a direct tie-in to universities and research facilities. Each year some 913,000 patients are treated at our five sites of Campus Bad Neustadt, Klinikum Frankfurt (Oder), Universitätsklinikum Gießen and Universitätsklinikum Marburg (UKGM) as well as Zentralklinik Bad Berka. The Company employs over 18,700 persons. The innovative RHÖN Campus approach for cross-sector and future-oriented healthcare delivery in rural areas, the steadfast continuation of the gradual digital transformation within the Company as well as the strategic partnership with ASKLEPIOS are important elements of our corporate strategy.

PRESS RELEASE

Heidelberg Pharma’s Lead ATAC Candidate HDP-101 Shows Progress in Phase I/IIa Trial in Multiple Myeloma

• Evidence of clinical activity observed in Cohort 8, including stringent complete remission in two patients from Cohort 8
• HDP-101 continues to demonstrate a favorable safety profile with no dose-limiting toxicities observed in Cohort 8

• R&D Webinar to be hosted on 11 November 2025 at 05:00 pm CET (08:00 am PST)

Ladenburg, Germany, 6 November 2025 – Heidelberg Pharma AG (FSE: HPHA), a clinical-stage biotech company developing innovative Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs), today announced that HDP-101 (INN: pamlectabart tismanitin), the Company’s lead ATAC candidate for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, shows further clinical activity in Cohort 8 at a dose level of 140 µg/kg. These findings are highlighted by observed stringent complete remissions in two patients from Cohort 8.

Seven patients were evaluated in Cohort 8, and all patients demonstrated a favorable safety and tolerability profile throughout. Encouraging signs of clinical activity have also emerged. Four patients showed biological activity of HDP-101 (INN: pamlectabart tismanitin), with one partial response, one very good partial response and two stringent complete remissions (sCR). For sCR, no tumor cells are detectable in blood and bone marrow.

Dr András Strassz, Chief Medical Officer at Heidelberg Pharma, said: “We are very delighted by the data seen so far. Several patients across different cohorts have shown objective responses and promising anti-tumor activity. Observing two stringent complete remissions is an encouraging validation of our therapeutic approach. We have previously seen complete remission in one patient from Cohort 5, but in Cohort 8 onset of the response was more rapid. These findings further strengthen our confidence in the therapeutic potential of HDP-101 in heavily pretreated patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, and we are now progressing with Cohort 9 with an escalated dose of 175 µg/kg to continue its clinical evaluation.”

Heidelberg Pharma’s Phase I/IIa clinical study is a non-randomized, open-label, dose escalation trial actively enrolling patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma or other BCMA-expressing plasma cell disorders. The study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of HDP-101 (INN: pamlectabart tismanitin) in this patient population.

Heidelberg Pharma will discuss these findings in an R&D webinar on 11 November 2025 at 05:00 pm CET (11:00 am ET; 08:00 am PST), for investors, analysts, and media.

The webinar will feature presentations by the Heidelberg Pharma management team and Key Opinion Leader (KOL) Professor Marc-Steffen Raab, Head of the Myeloma Center at the University Hospital Heidelberg and clinical investigator of the study.

About Heidelberg Pharma

Heidelberg Pharma is a biopharmaceutical company working on a new treatment approach in oncology and developing novel drugs based on its ADC technologies for the targeted and highly effective treatment of cancer. ADCs are antibody-drug conjugates that combine the specificity of antibodies with the efficacy of toxins to fight cancer. Selected antibodies are loaded with cytotoxic compounds, the so-called payloads, that are transported into diseased cells. Inside the cells, the toxins then unleash their effect and kill the diseased cells.

Heidelberg Pharma is the first company to use the compound Amanitin from the green death cap mushroom in cancer therapy. The biological mechanism of action of the toxin represents a new therapeutic modality and is used as a compound in the Amanitin-based ADC technology, the so-called ATAC technology.

The lead candidate HDP-101 (INN: pamlectabart tismanitin) is a BCMA ATAC in clinical development for multiple myeloma. The candidate has been granted Orphan Drug Designation and Fast Track Designation from the FDA. A second ATAC candidate, HDP-102 is in clinical development stage in Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. HDP-103 against metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and HDP-104 targeting gastrointestinal tumors such as colorectal cancer have completed preclinical development. Heidelberg Pharma is open for partnering.

The company is based in Ladenburg, Germany, and is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange: ISIN DE000A11QVV0 / WKN A11QVV / Symbol HPHA. More information is available at www.heidelberg-pharma.com

Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR

SKAN will miss sales and profit expectations for 2025 – order intake and backlog are developing very positively and laying a strong foundation for 2026

Allschwil, November 6, 2025 – The SKAN Group conducted a planned review of its project portfolio in the last days. This assessment identified delays in several projects that will affect sales and earnings in the current financial year. The SKAN Group will therefore not meet its sales and profit expectations for 2025. Order intake continues to develop very positively and lays the foundation for a strong 2026 financial year, which will be significantly above 2024 and 2025. The medium-term targets are confirmed.

The SKAN Group now expects net sales for the 2025 financial year to decline by a high single-digit percentage compared to the previous year. The EBITDA margin for 2025 is expected to be in the low double-digit range. This is significantly below the guidance for 2025, which had targeted net sales growth in the mid-single-digit range and an EBITDA margin between 14% and 16%.

The reason for this is that additional projects have been postponed since the summer, pushing significant portions of the highest turnover month of December into 2026. As a result of the lost sales, this year’s EBITDA is correspondingly lower.

The SKAN Group’s order intake continues to develop very positively in the current financial year, with particular demand for filling lines for oncology applications and biotechnologically produced injectable large molecules. It is already foreseeable that the order backlog will very likely reach a new high by the end of the year. This provides a strong basis for a successful 2026 financial year.

The medium- and long-term growth prospects for the SKAN Group remain positive, supported by structural market growth, a strong global competitive position, and a solid project pipeline. SKAN is therefore confirming its medium-term targets: It expects net sales to grow at an annual rate in the mid- to upper teens. The EBITDA margin is to be gradually increased to the upper teens in the mid-term, with potential for further increase beyond the mid-term period.
