PIOMBINO DESE, Italy--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 6, 2025--

Stevanato Group S.p.A. (NYSE: STVN), a leading global provider of drug containment, drug delivery, and diagnostic solutions to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life sciences industries, today announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2025.

Third Quarter 2025 Highlights (comparisons to prior-year period)

• Revenue increased 9% (11% on a constant currency basis) to €303.2 million.
• High-value solutions represented a record 49% of total revenue.
• Gross profit margin increased 240 basis points to 29.2%.
• Diluted earnings per share were €0.13; adjusted diluted earnings per share were €0.14.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 280 basis points to 25.7%.
• The Company is maintaining its fiscal 2025 guidance and continues to expect revenue in the range of €1.160 billion to €1.190 billion, adjusted EBITDA in the range of €288.5 million to €301.8 million, and adjusted diluted EPS in the range of €0.50 to €0.54.

Third Quarter 2025 Results

For the third quarter of 2025, revenue increased 9% year-over-year (11% on a constant currency basis) to €303.2 million, driven by a 14% (17% on a constant currency basis) revenue increase from the Company's Biopharmaceutical and Diagnostic Solutions (BDS) Segment, which offset the anticipated revenue decline from the Engineering Segment.

Third quarter financial results benefited from the favorable timing of product shipments of approximately €10 million in the BDS Segment that were previously forecasted to occur in the fourth quarter of 2025. Compared with the same period last year, third quarter results also reflect the absorption of the unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation and certain tariff costs that were not mitigated and were already assumed in the Company's guidance.

Revenue from high-value solutions increased 47%, year-over-year, to a record €147.9 million, representing 49% of total revenue for the third quarter of 2025. This growth was driven primarily by robust demand for high-performance Nexa ® syringes, and to a lesser extent, EZ-fill ® vials.

In the third quarter of 2025, strong performance in the BDS Segment led to a 240 basis-point increase in gross profit margin to 29.2%, compared with the same period last year, driven by: (i) the favorable mix of high-value solutions, (ii) the expected financial improvements at the Latina and Fishers manufacturing facilities as volumes and revenue scale, and (iii) the ongoing recovery in vial demand. These positive trends were offset by the lower gross profit margin from the Engineering Segment, the impact from foreign currency translation, and certain tariff costs that were not mitigated.

As a result, operating profit margin for the third quarter of 2025 increased 260 basis points, compared with the same period last year, to 17.4%, while adjusted operating profit margin rose 220 basis points, compared with the same period last year, to 18.5%, driven predominantly by an increase in gross profit. This was partially offset by higher operating expenses in the Engineering Segment for research and development activities associated with the Company's next generation RTU 400 EZ-fill ® cartridge lines.

For the third quarter of 2025, net profit was €36.1 million, with diluted earnings per share of €0.13, and on an adjusted basis, net profit was €38.5 million with diluted earnings per share of €0.14. For the third quarter of 2025, adjusted EBITDA increased to €77.8 million and the adjusted EBITDA margin improved 280 basis points to 25.7%, compared with the same period last year.

Franco Stevanato, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We delivered a solid third quarter with 9% revenue growth and a record 47% increase in high-value solutions, driven primarily by demand for high-performance Nexa ® syringes. Financial results were better-than-expected due to the timing of product shipments that were previously expected to occur in the fourth quarter, and we remain on track to achieve our fiscal 2025 guidance. Our strategic investments in capacity expansion and innovation position us to meet rising demand for injectable biologics, biosimilars, and ready-to-use platforms, to support our customers with patient-centric solutions."

Biopharmaceutical and Diagnostic Solutions (BDS) Segment

Revenue grew 14% (17% on a constant currency basis) to €266.7 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared with the same period last year, driven by a 47% increase from high-value solutions. The Segment benefited from favorable timing of product shipments of approximately €10 million that were previously forecasted to occur in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Revenue from high-value solutions increased to a record €147.9 million and represented 55% of BDS Segment revenue in the third quarter, led by strong growth in high-performance Nexa ® syringes and, to a lesser extent, EZ-fill ® vials. Growth continues to be fueled by the expanding production capacity for high-value syringes, as the Latina and Fishers manufacturing facilities scale operations to meet increasing demand. Revenue from other containment and delivery solutions decreased 10% to €118.8 million, compared with the same period last year. This was driven by a decline in revenue from low-value syringes and in-vitro diagnostics, as the Company transitions to a larger portfolio of high-value projects, and was partially offset by growth in bulk vials and contract manufacturing activities.

For the third quarter of 2025, gross profit margin increased 400 basis points to 32.0% and operating profit margin rose by 520 basis points to 22.1%, compared with the same period last year, driven by: (i) the favorable mix of high-value solutions, (ii) the financial improvements from the new facilities in Latina and Fishers as they gain scale, and (iii) an increase in vial demand as the effects of destocking continue to abate. This was partially offset by the unfavorable effects from foreign currency translation and certain tariff costs that were not mitigated.

Engineering Segment

As expected, revenue from the Engineering Segment decreased 19% to €36.4 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared with the same period last year, driven by lower revenue from glass converting and assembly lines, which was partially offset by growth in pharma inspection and after-sales activities.

For the third quarter of 2025, gross profit margin for the Engineering Segment decreased 520 basis points to 10.4%, compared with the same period last year, and continued to be impacted by an unfavorable project mix that reflected a higher proportion of complex legacy projects in Denmark and a lower volume of new work.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of €113.3 million and net debt of €333 million.

Capital expenditures totaled €54.9 million for the third quarter of 2025, as the Company continues to ramp-up capacity in its new manufacturing facilities in response to customer demand for high-value solutions.

In the third quarter of 2025, cash flow from operating activities was €47.2 million. Cash flow used for the purchase of property, plant, and equipment, and intangible assets totaled €48.4 million. Strong operational cash flow and reduced capital expenditures resulted in €0.3 million in free cash flow for the third quarter of 2025, and €16.9 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2025.

The Company believes that it has adequate liquidity to fund its strategic priorities over the next twelve months through a combination of cash on hand, cash generated from operations, available credit lines, and the ability to access additional financing.

2025 Guidance

The Company is maintaining its fiscal 2025 guidance and continues to expect:

• Revenue in the range of €1.160 billion to €1.190 billion;
• Adjusted EBITDA in the range of €288.5 million to €301.8 million; and
• Adjusted diluted EPS in the range of €0.50 to €0.54.

Franco Stevanato concluded, "Our performance underscores the strength of our long-term strategy and business fundamentals. The strategic investments we’ve made, the innovation we’ve delivered, and the trust we’ve built with our customers are the foundation of the strong momentum we’re carrying into fiscal 2026. With a healthy pipeline, favorable market dynamics, and a clear strategic focus, we are well-positioned to drive growth, improve patient outcomes, and deliver lasting value for our customers, employees, and shareholders."
