Linz, 05. November 2026 – Kontron, a leading global provider of IoT
technology, today announced its financial results for the first nine
months of 2026. From January to September 2026, Kontron generated revenues
of EUR 1,102.9 million, compared to EUR 1,181.9 million in the same period
of the previous year (adjusted for deconsolidations: EUR 1,123.6 million).
EBITDA amounted to EUR 125.9 million (9M 2025: EUR 193.6 million) or EUR
151.0 million adjusted (9M 2025: EUR 140.1 million adjusted). In the first
nine months of 2026, extraordinary restructuring costs incurred by EUR
25.1 million, while the prior-year period was boosted by one-off income
from the deconsolidation of the COM business. Consolidated net income
attributable to shareholders of the parent company amounted to EUR 52.7
million, compared to EUR 110.8 million in the previous year. The previous
year’s result was impacted by the deconsolidation of the COM business with
a corresponding profit.
Kontron completed the restructuring program initiated at the end of 2025
in the GreenTec division in the third quarter of 2026 as planned. This
paves the way for cost savings of more than EUR 30 million per year. The
first effects of the restructuring were already visible in the third
quarter of 2026, and the measures will take full effect from the 2027
financial year.
Operating cash flow reached EUR 4.3 million in the first nine months of
2026 compared to EUR 49.7 million in the same period of the previous year.
The development of cash flow was influenced by the build-up of inventories
in connection with the strained availability of memory chips. The products
and chips will be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2026 and will
significantly improve the annual cash flow.
The liquidity situation improved significantly, which is mainly due to the
cash receipt of the outstanding receivables from the deconsolidation of
the COM business. As of September 30, 2026, Kontron had cash and cash
equivalents of EUR 246.1 million. Equity increased to EUR 777.1 million,
corresponding to an equity ratio of 43.4%. Net debt decreased to EUR 135.2
million at the end of September 2026.
The order backlog at the end of September 2026 reached EUR 2,751.9 million
(December 31, 2025: EUR 2,495.3 million). The book-to-bill in the first
nine months of 2026 is 1.23, underlining the high demand for Kontron’s
products.
The memory chip crisis has led to an increase in the volume of products
not yet delivered to 68.6 million, the majority of which are to be shipped
in the fourth quarter of 2026 and thus support revenues and EBITDA. For
the 2026 financial year, the Management Board continues to expect revenues
of around EUR 1.6 billion at the previous year’s level and EBITDA of
around EUR 200 million (EUR 225 million before one-off costs from the
restructuring). Due to the settlement talks with the VW Group, which is
not purchasing the agreed quantities despite a binding order, there could
be a need for impairment of intangible assets of up to EUR 25 million. Any
depreciation and amortization is not cash effective and does not affect
EBITDA.
