📋 Highlights
  • EBITA Performance & Margin:: Delivered EUR 373 million EBITA with 11.1% margin, meeting guidance despite a challenging market.
  • Operating Cash Flow:: Generated EUR 391 million operating cash flow, achieving over 100% cash conversion and reducing leverage to 2.9x.
  • Business Recovery in H2:: Adjusted EBITA surged 65% in H2 to EUR 232 million, driven by H1 self-help measures and pricing discipline.
  • Industrial Business Decline:: Industrial project volumes fell 40%, leading to 9% revenue decline and margin pressure in the segment.
  • 2026 Guidance:: Targeting EUR 435 million adjusted EBITA (17% increase vs. 2025) via structural measures including pricing, network optimization, and SG&A cuts.

Segment Performance

The Steel business declined slightly, driven by weak demand and price concessions, while North America delivered a strong performance, benefiting from the green steel transition and the company's 4PRO offering. The Industrial business was exceptionally weak, with a 40% decline in industrial project volumes, although the nonferrous part of the industrial projects was more resilient.

Outlook and Guidance

RHI Magnesita expects a gradual improvement in the Industrial business, with project activity potentially increasing in the second half of 2026. The company is guiding to EUR 435 million adjusted EBITA on a constant currency basis, representing a 17% increase versus 2025, underpinned by four structural measures: a gradual improvement in the Industrial business, pricing discipline, network optimization programs, and structured SG&A reductions.

Valuation Metrics

With a P/E Ratio of 16.43 and an EV/EBITDA of 6.51, the market is pricing in a certain level of growth and profitability. The company's ROE is 8.52%, and the ROIC is 6.11%, indicating a decent return on equity and invested capital. The Dividend Yield is 5.62%, providing a relatively attractive income stream.

Regional Performance and Risks

The META region, with EUR 350 million in revenue, is expected to benefit from stronger industrial volumes and pricing, with a forecast for a 10% step-up in gross profit. However, the recent increase in oil prices poses a risk to the business in this region. The company has a hedging position in place, but is cautious about the impact of higher energy costs.
