SGL Carbon: Transformation progressing rapidly
 

• Stable EBITDA margin of 16.6% in the nine-month comparison despite decline in sales
• Continued weak demand from semiconductor customers in the Graphite Solutions business unit
• Successful restructuring of the Carbon Fibers business unit
• Outlook for 2025 confirmed

Wiesbaden, November 6, 2025. After nine months of fiscal year 2025, SGL Carbon generated sales of €652.9 million, down 16.5% on the previous year (9M 2024: €781.9 million). This is attributable to continued weak demand for specialty graphite products for the semiconductor industry on the one hand, and the withdrawal from unprofitable business activities as part of the restructuring of the Carbon Fibers business unit on the other.

Based on the lower sales, SGL Carbon's adjusted EBITDA decreased by 14.9% to €108.6 million compared to the first nine months of the previous year (9M 2024: €127.6 million). Due to extensive restructuring and cost-saving measures, the adjusted EBITDA margin was slightly above the previous year at 16.6% (9M 2024: 16.3%).

Based on adjusted EBITDA of €108.6 million and taking into account depreciation and amortization of €39.2 million (9M 2024: €41.0 million) as well as one-off effects and non-recurring items of minus €84.7 million (9M 2024: minus €18.3 million), EBIT after nine months in 2025 amounts to minus €15.3 million (9M 2024: €68.3 million). The one-off effects and non-recurring items, amounting to minus €76.0 million, result primarily from the implementation of the restructuring of the Carbon Fibers business unit.

Development of the business units
The 21.0% decline in sales in the Graphite Solutions business unit to €325.7 million (9M 2024: €412.5 million) is primarily attributable to declining demand from the Semiconductor & LED market segment. Sales with customers in this segment decreased by €76.9 million or 39.3% to €118.8 million (9M 2024: €195.7 million) in a nine-month comparison.
