Combined with disciplined cost management and focused execution, this revenue growth translated into a significant improvement in operational and bottomline profitability. Our net cash position further strengthened supported by consistent operating cash flow while we continued the execution of our share buyback program.

We also made meaningful progress against our strategic priorities during the quarter. Our Materialise Software segment launched its new CO-AM offerings, we completed the previously announced divestitures of our RapidFit and Eyewear business lines, and we invested in Replasia to further expand our personalized hip care portfolio. These actions reflect our commitment to sharpening our focus, strengthening our leadership in high-value applications, and building the foundation for sustainable long-term growth.

2026 Guidance

Mrs. de Vet-Veithen concluded,“Our solid first-half year performance reinforces our confidence in delivering on the financial targets we set for 2026. The strategic actions we are taking to sharpen our portfolio and the targeted investments we are making across our three segments are enhancing operational performance and positioning Materialise for profitable growth. Accordingly, we are reaffirming our full-year 2026 revenue guidance of 273,000 to 283,000 kEUR, fully absorbing the unfavorable revenue impact of the RapidFit and Eyewear divestments. At the same time we are increasing our full-year Adjusted EBIT guidance to a range of 12,000 to 14,000 kEUR from a previously communicated range of 10,000 to 12,000 kEUR, reflecting the strength of our execution and our continued discipline in managing costs and capital.”

Non-IFRS Measures

Materialise uses EBIT, EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental financial measures of its financial performance, including for purposes of monitoring compliance with financial covenants, supporting discussions with financing institutions, and meeting reporting requirements to our banks. EBIT is calculated as net profit plus income taxes, financial expenses (less financial income) and shares of profit or loss in a joint venture. EBITDA is calculated as net profit plus income taxes, financial expenses (less financial income), shares of profit or loss in a joint venture and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA are determined by adding to EBIT and EBITDA, respectively (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) acquisition expenses related to business combinations or divestiture-related expenses, (iii) impairments and revaluation of fair value due to business combinations and (iv) costs incurred in relation to corporate initiatives, restructurings or reorganizations that are of a non-recurring nature. Management believes these non-IFRS measures to be important measures as they exclude the effects of items which primarily reflect the impact of financing decisions and, in the case of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, long term investment, rather than the performance of the company’s day-to-day operations. The company also uses segment Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDA margin to evaluate the performance of its three business segments. As compared to net profit, these measures are limited in that they do not reflect the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on the company’s indebtedness and, in the case of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, these measures are further limited in that they do not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in the company’s business, or the changes associated with impairments. Management evaluates such items through other financial measures such as financial expenses, capital expenditures and cash flow provided by operating activities. The company believes that these measurements are useful to measure a company’s ability to grow or as a valuation measurement. The company’s calculation of EBIT, EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. EBIT, EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net profit or any other performance measure derived in accordance with IFRS. The company’s presentation of EBIT, EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
