Q: Can you provide clarity on the revenue outlook, considering the lack of guidance and potential impacts from foreign currency and other factors? A: Natalia Schumann, President and CEO, explained that while EBITDA is expected to exceed last year's results, revenue projections are uncertain due to ongoing market volatility, tariffs, and the impact of exiting certain operations. The focus remains on controllable factors, particularly EBITDA improvements, despite challenges in the oil and gas sector.

A: Natalia Schumann confirmed that there is a robust backlog of turnaround work, providing confidence in a strong second half. The company is leveraging its data solutions, particularly PCMS, to explore incremental revenue opportunities amid customers' digital transformation efforts. Q: What challenges have been affecting the midstream segment, and what are the prospects for improvement? A: Natalia Schumann acknowledged challenges in the midstream business due to increased competition and pricing pressures. A leadership change has been made to address these issues, and the company is optimistic about future opportunities, particularly with the growing demand for natural gas and data centers.

SMA Solar Technology AG (SMTGF) Q2 2025 Earnings Call Highlights: Navigating Challenges with ...
Release Date: August 07, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points SMA Solar Technology AG (SMTGF) achieved a significant improvement in free cash flow, reaching 66 million compared to a negative 203 million the previous year. The large scale and project solution division showed strong revenue growth, increasing from 536 million to 569 million in the first half of 2025. The company successfully reduced networking capital to 283 million, significantly improving the networking capital ratio to 19%. SMA Solar Technology AG (SMTGF) launched new products, such as the Sunny Island X and Sunny Central storage app, which are expected to meet evolving customer demands in storage and grid stability. The restructuring and transformation program is on track to achieve more than half of the original cost-saving target of 150 to 200 million, exceeding initial plans. Negative Points Group sales decreased to 685 million from 759 million in the first half of 2024, with a notable decline in the home and business solution division. Reported Group EBITDA dropped significantly to 9 million from 81 million in 2024, impacted by one-time effects such as inventory write-offs and provisions for purchase obligations. The home and business solutions division faced a 48% sales decline due to lower demand and high competitive pressure, contributing to a negative EBIT of -129 million. The overall reported EBIT margin decreased to 3% from 7% last year, reflecting challenges in maintaining profitability. The market environment remains difficult due to macroeconomic deterioration, declining expansion rates in residential and commercial sectors, and uncertainties from tariff policies, impacting future outlook. Q & A Highlights Warning! GuruFocus has detected 3 Warning Signs with SMTGF. Q: Can you provide insights into the current order intake for the large-scale business and its potential to reach a billion euros in sales by 2026? A: Unidentified_1: The US market's reaction is crucial, and while order intake has been weak, discussions with customers are promising. We might see a catch-up effect, potentially reaching around a billion euros in sales next year. However, it's too early to promise, but signs are positive. Unidentified_2 added that they are more comfortable now with the tax situation in the US, which could impact profitability positively. Q: What order backlog is needed for the large-scale business to achieve a billion euros in sales by 2026? A: Unidentified_1: The time between order intake and sales has decreased, with a conversion period of about 6 months in Europe and 9-12 months in the US. Even without a full billion in backlog by year-end, a strong order intake in Q1 could help achieve the target. Q: Is the 150 to 200 million euros in savings enough to break even in the HBS division if the environment doesn't improve? A: Unidentified_1: A 300 million euro revenue base is not enough for HBS to break even. Additional cost measures and an improved revenue base are needed to reach break-even. Q: Are there any signs of recovery in the European market for the HBS division? A: Unidentified_2: Currently, there are no significant positive signs. The market is still declining, and no major changes in subsidies or regulations are expected. However, destocking and new product releases might improve the situation slightly next year. Q: What is the pricing environment like for HBS orders, and is there a point where you might reassess your position in the market? A: Unidentified_1: Pricing remains tough, especially in Europe, where SMA is a premium player. The US market has higher profitability due to less Chinese competition. Unidentified_2 added that they are seeing some price stabilization and are focusing on cost reductions to remain competitive. Q: How long will it take to clear the channel of HBS inventory if volumes remain unchanged? A: Unidentified_1: Destocking has occurred for certain products, with high-end products mostly destocked. The main issue now is the consumption rate on the customer side, not excess stock. Q: Can you quantify the impact of tariffs on your US operations, and are there plans to manufacture in the US? A: Unidentified_1: The 10% tariffs had minimal impact as costs were passed on to customers. They are working with partners to increase local content in the US, which will reduce tariff impact further. Unidentified_2 noted that local content for copper and steel is being increased. Q: Is SMA losing market share in Europe to Chinese competition? A: Unidentified_1: Market share in core markets like Germany remains stable, but SMA has lost market share in price-sensitive regions like Brazil and India over the years. Unidentified_2 added that market share has not dropped significantly in Europe, and they are monitoring market demand closely.

WTO Sees Less Severe Global Trade Slowdown Amid US Front-Loading
The World Trade Organization predicted subdued global merchandise trade this year and next, saying activity remains clouded by President Donald Trump's tariffs on US imports, while lifting its estimate for 2025. After a 2.9% gain in 2024, global goods trade will increase by 0.9% this year, compared with an April forecast for a 0.2% decline, the Geneva-based trade body said in a report Friday. The upward revision was attributed to a rush by American importers to stockpile products, parts and raw materials before the bulk of Trump's higher levies took effect.
