Positive Points Schindler Holding AG (SHLAF) reported over 5% order growth in local currencies, with a significant 22% growth in their modernization business. The company achieved a strong operating margin of 12.3% for the first half of 2025, supported by SG&A efficiency initiatives and robust procurement and supply chain operations. Operating cash flow was strong at CHF703 million, up from last year's levels, indicating solid financial health. The new US mid-rise product launch received overwhelmingly positive customer feedback, with successful initial installations. Modernization markets are projected to experience continued growth worldwide, with double-digit growth in China due to government programs facilitating upgrades. Negative Points Revenue growth was muted due to a steep decline in new installations in China, which fell by almost 30% in the quarter. Currency headwinds are impacting Schindler Holding AG (SHLAF) as the Swiss franc strengthens, posing challenges to financial performance. The company faces external headwinds from tariffs, with a gross impact estimated at approximately CHF20 million, which may not be fully offset in 2025. The global new installations market is anticipated to decline by high single digits, mainly due to a low-teens contraction in China. The company has increased its restructuring charges for 2025 to CHF70 million, up from the prior view of CHF50 million, impacting reported EBIT margins. Q & A Highlights Q: Could you elaborate on the margin improvement in the quarter and the factors driving it? A: Carla De Geyseleer, CFO, explained that the margin improvement was due to operational efficiencies, particularly from SG&A cost reductions and procurement savings. There were no nonrecurring items, and the improvements are expected to continue as more efficiency initiatives take effect. Q: Can you discuss the modernization business and its impact on group margins? A: Paolo Compagna, CEO, noted that modernization is a growing business line and is included in efficiency measures. While modernization margins are currently below group average, they are improving and contributing positively to overall profitability. Q: What is the outlook for the China market, particularly regarding new installations and service growth? A: Paolo Compagna stated that the new installation market in China remains challenging, with no significant short-term growth expected. However, the service market is expected to continue growing at a significant level due to the large installed base. Q: How do you view the competitive landscape, particularly regarding independent service providers (ISPs)? A: Paolo Compagna mentioned that ISPs are visible in some markets, especially in service and modernization. In certain regions, midsized ISPs are increasingly present, but Schindler continues to focus on its strengths in these areas. Q: Can you provide more details on the restructuring efforts in China and their expected impact? A: Carla De Geyseleer highlighted that restructuring in China is focused on realigning the organization to better capture opportunities in modernization and service. This includes streamlining leadership and adjusting the organizational structure to improve efficiency and margins.
