“Scanfil’s fourth quarter was the most transformational since we announced our updated growth strategy at Capital Markets Day in 2024.
We reached a significant milestone in our growth by completing two transformational acquisitions that elevate Scanfil to an entirely new scale. Both companies have demonstrated ability to create growth, and we look forward to developing our new customer portfolio together. ADCO Circuits, completed in December, expands our footprint in the Americas region and brings a strong customer portfolio in the fast-growing Aerospace & Defense business. MB Elettronica, completed in January 2026, enhances Scanfil’s footprint in Southern Europe with a strong portfolio in Aerospace & Defense and Medtech & Life Science customer groups. We are all very proud to welcome these two new companies and their skilled employees to Scanfil.
In maintaining customer relations and nurturing organic growth, we conducted a retrospective with our key customers and planned for 2026. Throughout the year, we have had a significant number of strategic meetings with our key customers. We wanted to align our plans and continue to build tight collaboration based on operational excellence and efficiency.
The quarter demonstrated a consistent increase in turnover, with a 7.6% organic growth rate, and the full year 2025 turnover totaled EUR 797.1 million, organically up by 2.6%. We have steadily translated sales wins into turnover quarter after quarter.
In EBITA, our strength showed, and we were able to deliver within a 7%-8% margin corridor. In Q4, we achieved a strong 7.3% comparable EBITA, aligning with our target and matching last year’s performance. Full-year comparable EBITA reached EUR 56.4 million, and the margin was stable at 7.1%. It was a strong performance, especially considering the high number of new product introduction programs we had and their effect on our efficiency.
Our financial position remains strong, with net debt/EBITDA at 0.12 and an equity ratio of 53.9%. It gives us the room needed to support our growth agenda, both organically and through acquisitions.
In the market segments, America’s turnover in Q4 2025 increased organically 19.6% compared to Q4 2024, and full-year 2025 increased by 31.7% compared to 2024. Business prospects remained solid, and in Q4 we ramped up a new SMT line and new customer projects. APAC turnover in Q4 2025 increased organically by 2.7% compared to Q4 2024, and full-year 2025 increased organically by 8.7% compared to 2024. Customer demand is poised to grow. Central Europe turnover in Q4 2025 increased organically by 9.6% compared to Q4 2024, and full-year 2025 decreased organically by 3.0% compared to 2024. Operational efficiency starts to improve as project ramp-ups and productivity measures start to materialize. Northern Europe turnover in Q4 2025 increased organically by 7.2% compared to Q4 2024, and full-year 2025 decreased organically by 0.2% compared to 2024. Aerospace & Defense together with Energy & Cleantech drive the demand.
In the last quarter, new customer projects totaled EUR 59.2 million. Looking at the full year, we reached an impressive EUR 219.7 million, an increase of 17.4% from last year.
The Industrial customer group’s turnover in Q4 2025 decreased by 5.6% compared to same quarter last year, and in the full year by 0.7%. New customer projects won in the Q4 totaled EUR 17.0 million, and in the full year EUR 95.8 million, an increase of 15.1% from the last year. This creates us confidence in our future development.
The Energy & Cleantech turnover in Q4 2025 increased by 8.5% compared to the same quarter last year, and in the full year by 3.7%. New customer projects won in the quarter totaled EUR 14.3 million, and in full year EUR 83.2 million, an increase of 12.7% from the last year. We see a positive trend.
Medtech & Life Science turnover in Q4 2025 decreased by 4.5% compared to the same quarter last year, and in the full year increased by 6.7%. New customer projects won in the quarter totaled EUR 14.3 million, and in the full year EUR 40.7 million, an increase of EUR 10.5 million year-on-year. Medtech & Life Science is one of our strategic growth areas, and we continue investing in sales and capabilities. Production ramp-up times are long, and many wins from 2025 are not yet visible in the turnover.
We estimate 2026 turnover to be EUR 940–1,060 million, and comparable EBITA of EUR 64–78 million. In January, we announced a significant investment in our Chinese operations, where we have seen increased demand and have a positive outlook. At the same time, our 2025 investments in Malaysia and the USA are ramping up, which gives us confidence for 2026.
We extend our gratitude to our valued customers, partners, and employees for their solid trust and collaboration throughout our transformative journey in 2025.”
