PRODWAYS : Half-year 2025 results: improvement in current EBITDA margin despite a decrease in revenues

10 September 2025 à 18h

 

 

Prodways Group generated €28 million in revenue in the first half of 2025, down 8% on a comparable basis. This decline is due to reduced activity across both divisions in an uncertain economic environment during the first part of the year. Despite this, actions taken across the Group's operations have led to improved profitability and stronger operating cash flow.

The improvement in profitability was particularly notable in the Systems division, with a +3 point margin increase. As a result, operating cash flow rose sharply to €1.7 million, compared to €0.5 million last year.

 

Consolidated income statement of the 1st semester 2025

The company's financial statements presented below were approved by the company's Board of Directors at its meeting on September 10, 2025. Due to the the company's transfer to Euronext Growth in June 2025, the half-yearly financial statements were not reviewed by the Statutory Auditors.

Revenues of the 1er semester 2025: €28 million of revenues

Systems division

The Systems division generated €14 million in revenue in the 1st half 2025, down 4% on a comparable basis. This decline is primarily due to lower sales of Materials caused by limited visibility among dental sector clients, who delayed restocking.

Software activity also saw a slight decline due to an unfavorable comparison base (a major contract was signed in the 1st quarter 2024) and the transition to a SaaS sales model. SaaS sales continue to grow at a strong pace (+65%). This activity thus remains a growth driver thanks to new client acquisition.

Printer sales mainly consisted of ceramic MovingLight models in early 2025. Revenue from this activity increased but remains relatively modest in absolute terms.

Products division

The Products division delivered disappointing performance in the first half, with revenue down 11% on a comparable basis.

This decline is mainly due to lower Digital Manufacturing activity in Germany (–€1.2 million) amid a challenging economic environment, particularly in the automotive sector. Revenue in France remained relatively stable.

Audiology revenue also declined this semester compared to last year. The appointment of a new general manager for the audiology business in April 2025 is expected to yield initial results starting in H2 2025.

A dedicated revenue release was published on July 17, 2025 (link to the release).

Current EBITDA margin of 10%, up 1.4 points

Prodways Group achieved current EBITDA of €2.7 million in the 1st half 2025, representing a margin of 10%. This notable improvement, despite lower revenue, demonstrates the Group's ability to adapt in adverse conditions and maintain sound financial discipline.

The improvement is particularly evident in the Systems division, which generated a 16% recurring EBITDA margin compared to 13% in the 1st half 2024. This progress is due to operational changes and business refocusing carried out last year.

Profitability in the Products division is improving but remains disappointing, impacted by lower revenue. Prodways Group aims to turn around this division in the second semester 2025 to restore better profitability across each activity.

 

Income from operating activities of €0.7 million

Depreciation and amortization amounted to €1.9 million in H1 2025, compared to €1.4 million in the same period last year. This change is explained by a positive impact last year related to provision reversals. As a result, operating income stands at €0.7 million.

Other operating income and expenses, totaling €0.3 million, include certain restructuring costs related to the reduction of structural costs.

Financial expenses slightly increased compared to H1 2024 due to positive currency effects last year.

Net income thus stands at -€0.4 million.

 

Positive operating cash flow and healthy financial position

Prodways Group effectively converted its earnings into cash and generated €2.4 million in operating cash flow (before working capital) in H1 2025. Working capital requirements remained relatively stable (–€0.2 million), as did tax payments.

Operating cash flow significantly improved, reaching €1.7 million compared to €0.5 million in H1 2024. Capex remained relatively stable at €0.8 million (vs. €0.6 million last year).

As a result, the Group's financial position remains solid, with €10 million in available cash and net debt of €2.2 million.

 

Outlook

Prodways Group maintains the guidance provided during the Q2 2025 revenue release. The revenue decline observed early in 2025 and the economic context led to an adjustment of the 2025 targets set at the beginning of the year: the company now aims for revenue between €55 million and €58 million (vs. €59 million last year on a comparable basis). Thanks to effective cost control, Prodways Group continues to target an improvement in the current EBITDA margin.

 

Clarification on the new strategic direction

At the end of the second quarter, Prodways Group clarified its new strategic direction (read the dedicated press release). The Board of Directors is considering the possibility of asset disposals within the Systems division, which now achieves a good level of profitability and whose activities offer few synergies within the group. This division includes 3D Software, Printers, and 3D Materials. The majority of proceeds from these sales could then be distributed to shareholders as exceptional dividends, thereby crystalizing the value of these activities. The company will retain a portion of the proceeds to service debt and ensure business continuity.
