PREMSTAETTEN, Austria, and MUNICH, Germany — ams OSRAM posted solid Q2 results at the midpoint of the guidance despite currency headwinds and executed the first steps of its accelerated deleveraging plan.
The company delivered 18.8 % adj. EBITDA at revenues of EUR 775 m in Q2 and confirmed 2025 FCF outlook above EUR 100 m.
“We showed a solid performance in Q2 in a still difficult market with good profitability on the back of rapid implementation of ‘Re-establish-the Base’ and preproduction for the second half, as well as a very good design-win momentum securing future semiconductor business. We continue to expect a stronger second half although the weaker US Dollar weighs on topline results and tariffs discussions instigate continuously uncertainty,” said Aldo Kamper, CEO of ams OSRAM.
“Our plan to accelerate our balance sheet deleveraging is unfolding. The extension of the Revolving Credit Facility, the private placements of additional 2029 senior notes to prefinance long-term any bulk exercises of OSRAM minority put options and to re-purchase 2027 convertible bonds, but especially the first disposal for reducing leverage show that we keep track in executing our finance milestones as well,” said Rainer Irle, CFO of ams OSRAM.
