SUSS MicroTec's Q3 2025 Results Disappoint Market Expectations

SUSS MicroTec SE's preliminary results for Q3 2025 have fallen short of market expectations, prompting a downward revision of its financial guidance for the year. The company's gross profit margin stood at 33.1%, below the anticipated 38.1%, and the EBIT margin reached 10.5%, also short of the expected 12.5%. The underperformance is attributed to an unfavorable product and customer mix, costs associated with a new Taiwan facility, and lower fixed cost coverage.

As a result, SUSS MicroTec has adjusted its annual gross profit margin forecast to between 35% and 37%, and EBIT margin to 11%-13%. Despite these setbacks, the company maintains its sales forecast range of €470 to €510 million for 2025. The company is implementing strict cost management and considering additional measures to stabilize cost structures due to low Q3 orders.
