SUSS MicroTec SE announced that its margin performance in the third quarter of 2025 fell short of market expectations. Preliminary figures show that the gross profit margin reached 33.1% between July and September, compared to a consensus estimate of 38.1%. The weaker margin was primarily attributed to an unfavorable product and customer mix, increased expenses related to the new production facility in Zhubei, Taiwan, and reduced fixed cost coverage due to lower business volume relative to previous quarters.
This underperformance also affected the EBIT margin, which came in at 10.5% for the third quarter, below the market consensus of 12.5%. Given the lack of anticipated improvement in margin trends for the fourth quarter, the Management Board has revised its full-year guidance. The gross profit margin forecast has been lowered to a range of 35% to 37%, down from the previous range of 37% to 39%. Similarly, the EBIT margin forecast has been adjusted to 11% to 13%, compared to the earlier projection of 13% to 15%.
Despite the margin revisions, the company has reaffirmed its consolidated sales forecast for the 2025 financial year, maintaining the range of 470 million euros to 510 million euros. Based on preliminary calculations, sales for the first three quarters of 2025 totaled 384.4 million euros.
SUSS MicroTec SE plans to publish its quarterly report for the first three quarters of 2025 on November 6, 2025, as scheduled.
