InTiCa Systems SE has published provisional, unaudited figures for the 2025 financial year, broadly confirming revised guidance issued in November 2025. Group sales decreased by 3.0% year-on-year to approximately €68.5 million, compared to €70.6 million in 2024. The company's earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) remained negative at minus €1.5 million, though this was at the upper end of the forecast range of minus €1.5 million to minus €2.5 million, thanks to effective cost-cutting measures.
The sales performance revealed divergent trends between the company's two main segments. In the Mobility segment, a slight upward trend continued at year-end, with sales increasing 10.9% to €61.2 million from €55.2 million in the previous year. Conversely, the Industry & Infrastructure segment experienced a significant decline, with sales falling 53.1% year-on-year to €7.2 million from €15.4 million in 2024. This segment's downward trend persisted through the fourth quarter, reflecting subdued order offtake that prompted the November guidance revision.
Profitability metrics showed the impact of reduced sales. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to approximately €5.0 million, down from €6.1 million in 2024, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of around 7.3% compared to 8.6% previously. Despite the negative EBIT, the company reported clearly positive operating cash flow that improved significantly compared with the previous year. Cash and cash equivalents totaled €1.0 million on December 31, 2025, while undrawn credit facilities stood at €5.5 million. The equity ratio improved to 32.1% at year-end from 29.8% on December 31, 2024.
Orders on hand at year-end were slightly above the prior-year level at €80.3 million, with 92% allocated to the Mobility segment, mirroring the previous year's distribution. The company noted that following the outbreak of the Iran war and resulting rise in energy prices, risks currently overshadow the overall economic environment more than ever, contributing to high volatility in order offtake. This volatility is expected to persist in the coming months, with the start of the 2026 financial year remaining subdued due to global economic conditions.
In parallel with ongoing cost reduction and productivity enhancement efforts, InTiCa is driving forward development of new business areas. Development contracts for stationary power generating facilities, such as those for data centers, and electric drives for maritime applications demonstrate potential expansion opportunities. The company aims to achieve higher value-added and increase sales of assemblies rather than individual components as part of its strategic evolution. More detailed guidance for the 2026 financial year and segment development will be issued when the annual report is published on April 30, 2026, available through the company's investor relations channel at www.intica-systems.com.
The provisional figures indicate InTiCa's navigation through a challenging economic landscape marked by geopolitical tensions and energy price volatility. The company's performance reflects broader industry trends where automotive and mobility technologies show resilience while industrial infrastructure investment remains constrained. The strategic pivot toward higher-value assemblies and new applications in power generation and maritime electrification suggests adaptation to evolving market demands, particularly in sustainable and networked technologies. These developments have implications for investors monitoring the electronic components sector's response to economic headwinds and technological transformation.
