Siltronic AG: Stable Performance in 2025 Amid Market Challenges

Siltronic AG reported a weakened yet resilient financial performance for 2025, with sales reaching EUR 1,346.7 million, down from EUR 1,412.8 million in 2024. Despite unfavorable exchange rates and other financial pressures, the company maintained an EBITDA margin of 23.5 percent. Key challenges included the depreciation of the US dollar, continued price pressure, and the shutdown of the SD line, all contributing to a noticeable decline in earnings.

Siltronic's cost of sales increased to EUR 1,235.5 million, largely due to enhanced wafer volume and higher depreciation costs. The gross margin fell to 8.3 percent from 19.5 percent in 2024. The financial result was negatively impacted, with earnings before interest and taxes plunging to EUR -26.4 million.

Looking ahead, Siltronic anticipates a challenging 2026, with expected sales in the mid single-digit percentage below 2025 levels, impacted by exchange rate effects and price pressures, while planned capital expenditure will be reduced.
