SUSS MicroTec Adjusts 2025 Financial Guidance

SUSS MicroTec SE has revised its financial projections for 2025, altering its expected gross profit and EBIT margins. The company’s preliminary figures show a gross profit margin of 37.2% for the first half of the year. This figure suffered due to start-up costs for UV projection scanner production in Taiwan and inventory value adjustments related to a discontinued project. As a result, SUSS now forecasts a gross profit margin between 37% and 39% for the entire year, down from the previous estimate of 39% to 41%.

The EBIT margin is also affected, with the initial half-year figure at 15.7%. Increased costs in research and development led to the company lowering its full-year EBIT margin forecast to 13% to 15%, previously set at 15% to 17%. Despite these adjustments, SUSS maintains its consolidated sales target of €470 million to €510 million for 2025, having achieved €266.4 million in sales during the first half.
