Executive summary

  • Delivered mixed performance in 2025 amid challenging market conditions, with resilience in cash generation and cost management despite reduced demand, tariff impacts, and price pressure.

  • Growth in U.S. professional business offset by weakness in Europe and OEM; consumer business showed strong momentum except in China.

  • Connected and specialty lighting now represent 36% of sales, driving growth in both consumer and professional segments; installed base of connected light points increased to 167 million.

  • Announced a €180 million cost reduction program impacting 900 roles, with most savings realized in 2026 and full benefit in 2027.

  • Strategy and portfolio review underway, with updates expected at Capital Markets Day in June 2026.

Financial highlights

  • Full-year 2025 sales reached EUR 5.8 billion, with adjusted EBITA margin at 8.9% and net income of EUR 259 million; free cash flow for FY25 was EUR 440 million, supported by working capital discipline.

  • Q4 comparable sales declined 5.2% to EUR 1.49 billion, with adjusted EBITA margin at 10.0% and net income of EUR 60 million.

  • Working capital as a percentage of sales improved to 5.7% due to reductions in inventories, receivables, and payables.

  • Proposed 2026 dividend of EUR 1.57 per share, totaling EUR 188 million and 61% payout of continuing net income.

  • Share repurchases paused during strategic review; 5.8 million shares cancelled in 2025.

Outlook and guidance

  • No guidance on comparable sales growth due to market divergence and macro uncertainty; adjusted EBITA margin for 2026 expected between 7.5%-8.5% and free cash flow at 6.5%-7.5% of sales.

  • Expect continued resilience in U.S., ongoing challenges in OEM and professional, and sustained momentum in consumer business.

  • Anticipate a soft start to 2026 with margin headwinds in H1; cost actions to provide upside in H2.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
