Accelleron Industries AG / Key word(s): Half Year Results
Ad hoc announcements pursuant to Art. 53 LR Accelleron, propelled by high demand and market share gains, reports outstanding half-year results Further gains in market share for turbochargers and strong demand for marine services and power applications
Baden, Switzerland, August 27, 2025. Accelleron, a global technology leader in turbocharging, fuel injection, and digital solutions in the marine and energy industries, continued on its growth trajectory in the first six months of 2025, achieving high revenue growth and strong profitability. “Our impressive revenue growth was driven by further gains in market share for turbochargers, as well as strong market demand for marine services, especially retrofits, and for backup, balancing and prime power applications. We also saw sustained high demand for fuel injection systems and above-average orders in the rail sector,” said Accelleron CEO Daniel Bischofberger. “The markets have not cooled down in the first half-year despite geopolitical disruptions. We’ve been firing on all cylinders to meet demand and are optimistic about volumes in the second half-year.” Revenues in the first six months of 2025 reached USD 608.0 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 20.3% (20.1% at constant currency, 18.5% organic). Accelleron’s operational EBITA increased by 20.8% compared to the same period of last year, reaching USD 154.9 million. The operational EBITA margin rose by 0.1 percentage points to 25.5%. Net income increased by USD 26.1 million, or 29.5%, to USD 114.7 million. Free cash flow conversion stood at 70.3% (H1 2024: 34.4%). Medium & Low Speed segment Revenues in the Medium & Low Speed segment increased by USD 73.0 million, or 18.9% (16.6% organic), to USD 458.8 million compared to the first half of 2024. Overall, the marine business performed strongly. Accelleron further increased its market share in new-builds, and demand for retrofits and upgrade services picked up significantly. Accelleron also continued to expand full-cover service agreements, reinforcing them as an important strategic pillar to further increase service penetration. Furthermore, demand for fuel injection systems remained high in the first half of 2025, supported by increased capacity in the OMT factories to ensure timely customer delivery. In the power plant market, new-build activity for medium-speed power generation has picked up again. The first projects for larger power plants with Accelleron turbochargers have been contracted. Overall, demand for gas-fired prime power applications increased across multiple regions. Accelleron also received above-average orders for turbochargers used in diesel-electric locomotives. Operational EBITA increased by USD 19.1 million, or 19.7%, to USD 116.2 million, compared to the previous year. The operational EBITA margin increased by 0.1 percentage points to 25.3%. The operating leverage resulting from the additional life-cycle volume was absorbed by strategic investments and was also impacted by additional costs along the value chain. High Speed segment Revenues in the High Speed segment increased by USD 29.5 million, or 24.6% (24.9% organic), to USD 149.2 million compared to the first half of 2024. Accelleron continued to seize opportunities in data center backup and increasingly prime power solutions, particularly in the US, while demand for gas compression remained in line with expectations. Operational EBITA increased by USD 7.6 million, or 24.4%, to USD 38.7 million, compared to the previous year. Due to the fast-growing new business and additional costs along the value chain, the operational EBITA margin decreased by 0.1 percentage points, to 25.9%. Positive outlook despite geopolitical uncertainty “While our full-year outlook for the marine and energy markets remains positive, the new 39% US tariff on Swiss goods poses a challenge with multiple unknowns, especially in the short term. We are determined to secure our growing US business by reviewing our pricing strategy, reconfiguring value chains, and enhancing operational efficiencies to maintain our competitive advantage,” said Bischofberger. Accelleron reaffirms its July revenue guidance, expecting constant-currency revenue growth of 16-19% in 2025. Regarding the operational EBITA margin, due to the current tariff situation, Accelleron is lowering its guidance corridor by one percentage point and now expects an EBITA margin for 2025 of 24-25%.
