GROUP REVIEW
Revenue generation
In the first half of 2026, revenue declined by 1.6%, reflecting softer underlying demand particularly in the Beauty business unit. Including a negative foreign exchange impact of 3.3%, reported revenue decreased by 4.9% year-on-year to CHF214.4 million.
Healthcaresegment revenues grew 0.8% and decreased by 2.0% on a reported basis, with the difference of 2.8% entirely due to foreign exchange effects.
Dentalbusiness unitgenerated revenues of CHF59.4 millionrepresenting an organic increase of 1.5% compared to the same period last year. This growth was achieved despite an exceptionally strong first half of 2025, which benefited from customer frontloading in anticipation of tariffs and a project milestone payment. Growth was supported by continued demand for our cementation and restorative solutions, which more than offset the ongoing structural decline in the impressions category as dental workflows increasingly transition towards digital technologies.
Surgerybusiness unit generated revenues of CHF10.3 million in the first half of 2026, representing a growth of 31.6% compared to the same period last year and sequential growth of 20.6% versus the second half of 2025. Performance was driven by continued customer demand, the successful ramp-up of our Atlanta facility and further progress in the insourcing of production activities.
Drug Deliverybusiness unit generated revenues of CHF16.5 million in the first half of 2026, representing a decrease of 13.8% compared to the same period last year. As previously communicated, the expected decline was primarily driven by the continued implementation of a second source strategy by one customer, with the majority impact concentrated in the first half of 2026.
Consumer & Industrialsegment revenues declined by 3.2% and by 6.7% on a reported basis, with the difference of 3.5% entirely due to foreign exchange effects.
Industrybusiness unit generated revenues of CHF63.1 million in the first half of 2026, representing an increase of 3.6% compared to the same period last year. Growth was driven by our core cartridges and mixers product categories.
Despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainty and challenging market conditions, the business continued on its path of profitable growth in the first half of 2026, supported by operational improvements and a favorable product mix.
Beautybusiness unit generated revenues of CHF65.0 million in the first half of 2026, representing a decrease of 9.2%, versus the same period last year. The decrease was primarily driven by lower volumes in the GEKA business, while Qiaoyi grew.
Order intake in the Beauty business unit grew during the first half of the year, supporting expectations for a stronger second half of 2026 compared to the first six months. At the same time, we have launched decisive restructuring and cost reduction initiatives to improve competitiveness, streamline operations and support future profitable growth.
Gross profit
Gross profitdecreased by CHF1.4 million to CHF81.1 million, due to lower group revenues. Despite the decrease in revenues, medmix delivered a strong gross profit margin of 37.8% compared to 36.6% in the first half 2025.
Healthcaregross profit for the first half of 2026 is CHF47.1 million representing a healthy gross profit margin of 54.6%. This represents an increase of CHF0.3 million and 140 basis points year-on-year. Dental and Surgery gross profit margin growth was partly offset by the Drug Delivery business unit as it continues to be impacted by the dual sourcing shift.
Consumer & Industrialgross profit decreased to CHF33.9 million, resulting in agross profit margin of 26.5%. While this represents an absolute decline of CHF2.2 million due to the impact of the decrease in Beauty volumes, as a percentage of revenue, gross profit margin increased 20 basis points year-on-year. Industry witnessed a significant increase in the gross profit margin year-on-year driven by operational efficiencies from our Growth and Efficiency program and an improvement in volumes.
Profitability
Group adjusted EBITDA was CHF43.5 million, a decrease of CHF1.3 million year-on-year due to the impact of lower volumes. Despite the lower volumes, adjusted EBITDA margin improved 40 basis points to 20.3%. Adjusted EBITDA margin grew for a fifth consecutive half-year from 19.1% in H1 2024 to 20.3% in H1 2026. The improvement is primarily driven by the continuation of operational efficiencies in Consumer & Industrial segment combined with improvements in the revenue mix. Reported EBITDA of CHF38.0 million was down year-on-year by CHF3.9 million due to restructuring costs related to the Industry dispenser and Beauty businesses. EBIT decreased year-on-year from CHF15.7 million to CHF10.6 million and was further impacted by related impairment charges.
Net income
Net income decreased by CHF6.1 million to CHF0.8 million from CHF6.9 million compared to the same period last year, primarily reflecting restructuring costs of CHF3.8 million (H1 2025: CHF1.0 million) and impairment charges of CHF2.6 million on production machinery, facilities, and other intangible assets (H1 2025: CHF0.1 million).
Cash Flow
Despite lower cash flow from operating activities, lower capital expenditure compared with the same period last yearresulted in free cash flow increasing to CHF12.0 million, compared with CHF11.4 million in the first half of 2025. Operating net cash flow (ONCF) increased to CHF 19.4 million, compared with CHF 15.3 million in the first half of 2025.
GROWTH AND EFFICIENCY PROGRAM
As part of our Growth and Efficiency program, we initiated restructuring measures in the Industry dispenser and Beauty businesses. Additionally, weadvanced our site footprint optimization, all contributing to our cumulative savings progress against the CHF33 million target. Continuous improvement and cost efficiency are now deeply embedded across the organization and part of our DNA.
OUTLOOK
Based on our performance in the first half of 2026 and our outlook for the remainder of the year, our guidance remains unchanged. For the full year 2026, we expect flat to low single digit organic revenue growth and an adjusted EBITDA margin of around 20%.
Our midterm targets over a three-year period also remain unchanged, with a revenue CAGR of above 4% and an adjusted EBITDA margin of above 21%.
