• 2025 Financial Performance Shows Operational Improvement Amidst Net Loss

  Revenue increased to €66.9 million in 2025 from €60.8 million in 2024. Gross profit rose to €16.0 million (24.0% margin) from €12.0 million (19.8% margin). Adjusted EBITDA turned positive at €6.3 million, a significant improvement from a (€74.5) million loss in 2024. However, the company reported a net loss of (€71.1) million, primarily driven by €72.2 million in financial expenses, including fair value changes of warrants and derivatives, and a modification loss from the XJ Harbour Set-off agreement.

• Significant Increase in Order Backlog

  The order backlog for machine sales grew substantially to €50.9 million as of December 31, 2025, up from €27.7 million in 2024, with expectations for realization within 12 months. This indicates strong demand for the company's products, particularly in next-generation electronics manufacturing.

• Multiple Dilutive Financing Rounds Secured Post-Year-End

  The company entered into a $30.0 million senior convertible note agreement with Linden Advisors LP in January 2026, with $12.0 million already converted into 2,197,898 shares. A Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (SEPA) with Yorkville was signed on May 12, 2026, providing access to up to $30.0 million in equity financing. Additionally, agreements were made on April 24, 2026, to convert €30.75 million in related party financial liabilities into new ordinary shares, subject to shareholder approval on May 20, 2026, with one portion including a 20% discount.

• Debt-for-Equity Swap with Major Shareholder XJ Harbour

  On January 16, 2026, SCHMID issued 12,540,539 new ordinary shares to XJ Harbour HK Limited, fully settling $26.96 million in outstanding liabilities through a debt-equity swap. This significantly reduced the company's debt but resulted in substantial dilution.

This annual report details SCHMID Group N.V.'s 2025 financial performance, which shows significant operational improvements with increased revenue and a positive Adjusted EBITDA, but a substantial net loss primarily due to financial items. Critically, the company has secured multiple large, highly dilutive financing agreements post-year-end, including convertible notes, a standby equity purchase agreement (SEPA), and debt-for-equity swaps with related parties, essential for its liquidity and future operations. These financings, while crucial for survival and growth, will result in massive dilution for existing shareholders. The company also resolved a NASDAQ delisting threat but continues to address material weaknesses in internal controls.
