COLTENE Holding AG, a developer and manufacturer of dental consumables andsmall equipment, reported that its net income for the first half of 2025 dropped to 4.27 million Swiss francs from 10.42 million francs last year.
Operating income (EBIT) for the period amounted to 7.53 million francs, down from 12.98 million francs in the previous year. This reflected the lower sales volume, which was partially offset by strict cost control.
Net sales for the period were 118.1 million francs down from 127.5 million francs last year. Adjusted for currency effects, this corresponds to a decline of 4.9%. The weakening of the US dollar and developments in the Euro and Canadian dollar reduced revenue by an additional 2.5%.
COLTENE expects significantly better results for the second half of the year. The company will continue to implement its strategy and launch innovative new products. At the same time, COLTENE is optimising its processes for efficiency. The temporary delays in dealer management have normalised and will have a positive impact on the second half of the year. In addition, implementation of the strategy is expected to contribute positively to sales and profitability.
However, visibility and predictability remain limited due to the geopolitical situation, which could cause customers to remain cautious until the end of the year. COLTENE is therefore refraining from providing revenue guidance.
COLTENE expects its EBIT margin to be around 10% for the 2025 financial year, down from the previous estimate of 11%, reflecting uncertainties—particularly those related to US tariffs. Looking ahead, assuming geopolitical stability, the company remains committed to its medium-term targets of 3-5% organic revenue growth and an EBIT margin of 13-15%. With a solid balance sheet, COLTENE is well positioned to pursue inorganic growth opportunities.
