The manufacturer of dental implants Straumann saw his profit and his profitability drop to the first half of 2025, due to the persistent vigor of the franc. The Basel group, however, confirms its forecasts for 2025.
(Keystone-ATS) Over the first six months of the year, Straumann’s turnover climbed 5.9% compared to the same period last year to 1.34 billion francs, an organic growth of 10.2%, said the company in Basel in a statement on Wednesday. In the second quarter, revenues increased by 9.3% to 667.5 million. The specialist in dental implants puts this result on the account of the persistent vigor of the franc.
The operating profit (EBIT) registered at 329.6 million francs, down 1.9%. The corresponding margin appeared at 24.4%, compared to 26.4% in 2024.
In the end, net profit decreased to 238.2 million francs, against 268.2 million a year ago.
The Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Asia-Pacific (APAC) and Latin America (LATAM) regions have all recorded solid results, carried by a sustained request and a solid commercial execution. North America has recorded stable growth compared to the previous quarter and continued to gain market share in an still difficult American context.
The results presented are almost in line with the expectations of the analysts consulted by the AWP agency. The latter were tabling on a turnover of 1.35 billion francs, in particular.
The Basel group renews its forecasts for the year despite the impact of customs duties and expects a higher turnover in 2025. The management aims for a margin of the upper EBIT of 30 to 60 base points with the value of 26.7% recorded in 2024.
