Materialise NV (Euronext & NASDAQ:MTLS), a global leader in 3D-printed medical devices and software, and a pioneer in additive manufacturing software and services, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

Highlights – Fourth Quarter 2025

• Total revenue increased by 6.8% to 70,164 kEUR for the fourth quarter of 2025 from 65,680 kEUR for the corresponding 2024 period, boosted by 16.3% growth in our Materialise Medical segment.
• Gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased to 58.1%, compared to 55.4% for the corresponding 2024 period.
• Adjusted EBIT amounted to 3,980 kEUR for the fourth quarter of 2025, representing 5.7% of consolidated revenue, compared to (1,195) kEUR for the corresponding period.
• Net result for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 6,206 kEUR, or 0.11 EUR per diluted share, compared to a net result of 2,907 kEUR, or 0.05 EUR per diluted share, for the corresponding 2024 period.

Highlights – Full Year 2025

• Total revenue remained stable at 267,633 kEUR for 2025 compared to 266,765 kEUR for 2024, fueled by strong 15.4% growth in our Materialise Medical segment which was offset by lower revenues in our Materialise Manufacturing segment and unfavourable foreign exchange effects.
• Gross profit as a percentage of revenue for 2025 increased to 57.1%, compared to 56.5% for 2024.
• Adjusted EBITDA increased to 32,386 kEUR for 2025 compared to 31,484 kEUR for 2024. Adjusted EBIT increased to 10,601 kEUR for 2025 from 9,741 kEUR for 2024.
• Net profit for 2025 was 7,716 kEUR, or 0.13 EUR per diluted share, compared to a net profit of 13,406 kEUR, or 0.23 EUR per diluted share, for 2024.
• Total cash reserves amounted to 133,918 kEUR at the end of 2025.

CEO Brigitte de Vet-Veithen commented, “In the final quarter of 2025, we reached a major milestone with our successful Euronext listing and the announcement of a strategic share buyback program. These steps clearly demonstrate our commitment to delivering long-term shareholder value. We achieved nearly 7% revenue growth and delivered a substantial improvement in operational profitability compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. Our Materialise Medical segment continues to lead the way, achieving another quarterly revenue record and sustaining its double-digit growth path. Our Materialise Software segment maintained steady upward momentum, continuing to build on successive quarterly revenue increases throughout 2025. While our Materialise Manufacturing segment continued to be impacted by soft prototyping demand, its strategic transition towards series manufacturing led to key commercial wins in targeted aerospace and defense markets that we expect will contribute to our results in coming periods. Throughout the last quarter of 2025 we further executed focused cost control measures without compromising R&D investments. With 134 million EUR of cash and cash equivalents on our balance sheet, an improved net cash position and consistently positive operating cash flow, we believe we are financially strong and well-positioned to further drive innovation and capture emerging market opportunities.”

2026 Guidance

Mrs. de Vet-Veithen concluded, “Also for fiscal year 2026, we expect our three reporting segments to evolve at a different pace. We anticipate continued strong revenue growth from our Materialise Medical segment. Our Materialise Software segment will complete the transition towards a cloud-based subscription business model, and will continue its investments in a broader AM software ecosystem covering end-to-end workflows. Our Materialise Manufacturing segment will intensify its ongoing shift towards series manufacturing and dedicated focus sectors, but we expect macroeconomic headwinds in the industrial market segments to persist throughout 2026.

On a consolidated level, we therefore expect our full year revenues for 2026 to grow to a range of 273,000 to 283,000 kEUR. We will continue investing in our Materialise Medical and Software segments while maintaining disciplined cost control and optimization, in particular in our Materialise Manufacturing segment and in our overhead. As a result, we expect our Adjusted EBIT to reach 10,000 to 12,000 kEUR for fiscal year 2026.”

Non-IFRS Measures

Materialise uses EBIT, EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental financial measures of its financial performance. EBIT is calculated as net profit plus income taxes, financial expenses (less financial income) and shares of profit or loss in a joint venture. EBITDA is calculated as net profit plus income taxes, financial expenses (less financial income), shares of profit or loss in a joint venture and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA are determined by adding to EBIT and EBITDA, respectively (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) acquisition or divestiture-related expenses of business combinations, (iii) impairments and revaluation of fair value due to business combinations and (iv) costs incurred in relation to corporate initiatives, restructurings or reorganizations that are of a non-recurring nature. Management believes these non-IFRS measures to be important measures as they exclude the effects of items which primarily reflect the impact of financing decisions and, in the case of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, long term investment, rather than the performance of the company’s day-to-day operations. The company also uses segment Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the performance of its three business segments. As compared to net profit, these measures are limited in that they do not reflect the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on the company’s indebtedness and, in the case of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, these measures are further limited in that they do not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in the company’s business, or the changes associated with impairments. Management evaluates such items through other financial measures such as financial expenses, capital expenditures and cash flow provided by operating activities. The company believes that these measurements are useful to measure a company’s ability to grow or as a valuation measurement. The company’s calculation of EBIT, EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. EBIT, EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net profit or any other performance measure derived in accordance with IFRS. The company’s presentation of EBIT, EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
