SGL Carbon (SGLFF), a German carbon and graphite product maker, reported that its net loss attributable to shareholders of the parent company for the first-quarter of 2025 was 6.1 million euros compared to net income of 12.6 million euros in the previous year.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 20.4% to 33.5 million euros compared to the first quarter of the previous year's 42.1 million euros. Accordingly, the adjusted EBITDA margin declined from 15.4% to 14.3%.
Quarterly sales were 234.3 million euros. This was 14.0% below the previous year's 272.6 million euros. Consolidated sales were mainly impacted by weak demand in the Semiconductor & LED market segment, which contributed the majority of the 38.3 million euros decline in consolidated sales with a 30.0 million euros drop in sales compared to the same quarter of the previous year.
The company confirmed the sales and earnings forecast for fiscal year 2025 issued on March 20, 2025.
The company said its forecast for the current fiscal year 2025 considers all four operating business units, as we are still in the early stages of restructuring its Carbon Fibers business unit. For 2025, the company anticipates consolidated sales to be slightly below the previous year's 1.026 billion euros, with adjusted EBITDA expected to range between 130 million euros and 150 million euros.
