Stevanato Group Delivers 7% Revenue Growth (10% at Constant Currency) for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2026May 7, 2026 6:30 AM
Business Wire - The Company Maintains Fiscal 2026 Guidance - 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 first quarter of 2026. First Quarter of 2026 Highlights (comparisons to prior-year period) For the first quarter of 2026, revenue increased 7% (10% on a constant currency basis) to €273.6 million, with high-value solutions representing 47% of total revenue. Gross profit margin increased 30 basis points to 27.5%. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 150 basis points to 23.9%. Diluted earnings per share were €0.10, and adjusted diluted earnings per share were €0.11. The Company is maintaining its fiscal 2026 guidance and still expects revenue in the range of €1.26 billion to €1.29 billion, adjusted EBITDA in the range of €331.8 million to €346.9 million, and adjusted diluted EPS in the range of €0.59 to €0.63. First Quarter 2026 Results For the first quarter of 2026, total revenue increased 7% year-over-year (10% on a constant currency basis) to €273.6 million, driven by a 13% revenue increase (16% on a constant currency basis) from the Company's Biopharmaceutical and Diagnostic Solutions (BDS) Segment, which offset the revenue decline from the Engineering Segment. Revenue from high-value solutions increased 17%, year-over-year, to €128.6 million, and represented 47% of total revenue for the first quarter of 2026. In the first quarter of 2026, gross profit margin increased 30 basis points to 27.5% driven by: (i) the ongoing improvements in Fishers and Latina as the new facilities continue to scale, (ii) an increase in high-value solutions, and (iii) improved marginality in the Engineering Segment. These positive trends were partially offset by the expected higher depreciation and the effects of foreign currency translation in the first quarter of 2026. Operating profit margin improved 70 basis points to 14.2%. Net profit was €28.0 million for the first quarter of 2026, with diluted earnings per share of €0.10. For the first quarter of 2026, adjusted net profit increased to €29.6 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share increased to €0.11, compared with €0.10 for the same period last year. For the first quarter of 2026, adjusted EBITDA increased to €65.5 million, and adjusted EBITDA margin improved 150 basis points to 23.9%, compared with the same period last year. Franco Stevanato, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The first quarter was a solid start to 2026, highlighted by strong momentum in the BDS Segment which delivered 16% growth at constant currency rates, driven by revenue increases across most product categories in both high-value and standard products. As expected, higher depreciation tempered gross profit margins in the quarter but results also reflect financial improvements in Fishers and Latina as we scale production, which in turn is driving the increase in high-value solutions. Revenue from biologics, which is our fastest growing end market, increased 15%, compared to the prior-year period, driven by GLP1s which accounted for approximately 21% to 22% of total Company revenue. Our success in this blockbuster treatment class demonstrates the trust and reliability that customers place on Stevanato Group to deliver high quality products at scale for their most valuable drug assets." Biopharmaceutical and Diagnostic Solutions (BDS) Segment Revenue grew 13% (16% on a constant currency basis) to €249.0 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared with the same period last year, driven by growth in high value and standard products. In the first quarter of 2026, revenue from high-value solutions increased 17% to €128.6 million, and represented 52% of BDS Segment revenue, driven predominantly by high-performance syringes and, to a lesser extent, EZ-fill® vials. Revenue from other containment and delivery solutions increased 9% to €120.3 million, compared with the same period last year, driven mostly by standard syringes and cartridges, which offset a lower revenue from IVD services. For the first quarter of 2026, gross profit increased €1.2 million driven by the ramp up in Fishers and Latina and the favorable mix shift in high-value solutions. This was partially offset by: (i) higher depreciation, which was the largest headwind to gross profit, as more manufacturing lines are put into commercial service, (ii) the unfavorable effects of foreign currency, (iii) lower revenue and profit from an accretive pilot project with an industry-leading customer for large-batch, Not for Human Use (NFHU) fill and finish services, which did not recur in the first quarter of 2026, and (iv) the unfavorable impact from tariffs. As a result, gross profit margin decreased 300 basis points to 28.3%. Engineering Segment Revenue from the Engineering Segment decreased 31% to €24.6 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared with the same period last year, driven by lower revenue from glass converting and assembly manufacturing, which offset growth in pharmaceutical visual inspection. For the first quarter of 2026, gross profit margin for the Engineering Segment increased 460 basis points to 15.3%, compared with the same period last year, as the Company begins to realize the benefits from the actions taken under its business optimization plan. This includes right-sizing operations and an improved labor cost structure which led to better financial performance in the Company's Denmark operations. While actions under the optimization plan are starting to gain traction, the Company remains cautious given the current slow pace of orders. Balance Sheet and Cash Flow As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of €111.7 million, and net debt of €337.7 million. For the first quarter of 2026, capital expenditures totaled €67.6 million, as the Company continues to increase capacity in its new manufacturing facilities in Indiana and Italy. For the three-months ended March 31, 2026, cash flow from operating activities was €75.5 million and cash used for the purchase of property, plant, and equipment, and intangible assets totaled €70.7 million. As a result, the Company generated €5.5 million of positive free cash flow for the first quarter of 2026. The Company believes that it has adequate liquidity to fund its strategic priorities over at least 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. 2026 Guidance The Company is maintaining its fiscal 2026 guidance and continues to expect: Revenue in the range of €1.26 billion to €1.29 billion; Adjusted EBITDA in the range of €331.8 million to €346.9 million; and Adjusted diluted EPS in the range of €0.59 to €0.63. Franco Stevanato concluded, "Looking ahead, our strategic investments and focus on high-value, scalable solutions position us to capitalize on the accelerating growth in biologics and injectable therapies. With our operational flexibility and competitive leadership in core product categories, we are confident in our ability to support customers and drive future success."

- Establishes Fiscal 2026 Guidance -

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 fourth quarter and full year 2025.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Highlights (comparisons to prior-year periods)

For the fourth quarter of 2025, revenue increased 5% (7% on a constant currency basis) to €346.5 million, and high-value solutions represented 49% of total revenue.

Gross profit margin increased 120 basis points to 30.9%, and adjusted EBITDA margin increased 70 basis points to 28.2%, for the fourth quarter of 2025.

Diluted earnings per share were €0.17, and adjusted diluted earnings per share were €0.18 for the fourth quarter of 2025.

For the fiscal year 2025, revenue increased 7% (9% on a constant currency basis) to €1.186 billion, and high-value solutions represented 46% of total revenue.

Gross profit margin increased 160 basis points to 29.0%, and adjusted EBITDA margin increased 160 basis points to 25.1% for the fiscal year 2025.

For the fiscal year 2025, diluted earnings per share grew 19% to €0.51, and adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 13% to €0.54.

The Company is establishing its fiscal 2026 guidance. The Company expects revenue in the range of €1.26 billion to €1.29 billion, adjusted EBITDA in the range of €331.8 million to €346.9 million, and adjusted diluted EPS in the range of €0.59 to €0.63.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Results

For the fourth quarter of 2025, total revenue increased 5% year-over-year (7% on a constant currency basis) to €346.5 million, driven by a 10% (13% 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. Revenue from high-value solutions increased 31%, year-over-year, to a record €171.4 million, representing 49% of total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, strong performance in the BDS Segment led to a 120 basis-point increase in gross profit margin to 30.9%, compared with the same period last year, and operating profit margin was 20.2%, consistent with the same period last year.

Net profit was €47.6 million, with diluted earnings per share of €0.17, for the fourth quarter of 2025, and adjusted net profit was €49.8 million with diluted earnings per share of €0.18. For the fourth quarter of 2025, adjusted EBITDA increased to €97.7 million, and the adjusted EBITDA margin improved 70 basis points to 28.2%, compared with the same period last year.

Franco Stevanato, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We concluded fiscal year 2025 with another solid quarter that led to positive full-year performance underpinned by strong top-line growth, a favorable mix of high value solutions, and expanded margins. Biologics remain an important tailwind and in 2025 GLP1s represented approximately 19% to 20% of total Company revenue. There’s no doubt that we have been successful in winning our fair share of the GLP1 market. This success is rooted in our long history of being a trusted partner to customers, our global footprint which provides supply chain security, and the quality of our products which have characteristics that resonate with our customers."

Biopharmaceutical and Diagnostic Solutions (BDS) Segment

Revenue grew 10% (13% on a constant currency basis) to €307.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with the same period last year, driven by a 31% increase from high-value solutions to €171.4 million, which represented 56% of BDS Segment revenue. Revenue from other containment and delivery solutions decreased 9% to €135.7 million, compared with the same period last year, due to a decline in certain lower-value bulk products, as the Company transitions to a larger portfolio of high-value products aligned with its strategic investments.

For the fourth quarter of 2025, gross profit margin increased 50 basis points to 31.6%, and operating profit margin rose 50 basis points to 23.8%, compared with the same period last year, driven by: (i) a favorable mix of high value solutions, (ii) improvements as the Company scales commercial production in its new facilities, which remain dilutive to the corporate margin, and (iii) an improved vial market which led to higher vial production and better utilization. These positive trends were partially offset by the unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation and tariffs.

Engineering Segment

As expected, revenue from the Engineering Segment decreased 23% to €39.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with the same period last year, driven by lower revenue from our glass converting and assembly lines businesses.

For the fourth quarter of 2025, gross profit margin for the Engineering Segment decreased 280 basis points to 15.8%, compared with the same period last year, and continued to be impacted by an unfavorable project mix and a lower volume of new work.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of €130.6 million, and net debt of €337.7 million.

For fiscal year 2025, capital expenditures totaled €294.9 million, as the Company continues to increase capacity in its new manufacturing facilities in Indiana and Italy. Cash flow from operating activities for fiscal year 2025 was €286.1 million. Cash used for the purchase of property, plant, and equipment, and intangible assets totaled €275.1 million. Increased operational cash flow and reduced capital expenditures resulted in €18.4 million of positive free cash flow for the year ended 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.

2026 Guidance

The Company is establishing its fiscal 2026 guidance and expects:

Revenue in the range of €1.26 billion to €1.29 billion;

Adjusted EBITDA in the range of €331.8 million to €346.9 million; and

Adjusted diluted EPS in the range of €0.59 to €0.63.

Franco Stevanato, Chief Executive Officer, concluded, "We enter 2026 with positive momentum and a clear focus on disciplined execution. We operate in attractive, growing end markets with favorable secular tailwinds. Innovation across the industry continues to advance patient care and we remain mission critical to the delivery of innovative biologics.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release may include forward-looking statements. The words "establishing," "continued," "remain," "expected," "improved," "transitions," "scales," "believes," "expects," "continues," "growing," "expect," and other similar expressions (or their negative) identify certain of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are statements regarding the Company's intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, the Company's future financial performance, including revenue, operating expenses and ability to maintain profitability, and operational and commercial capabilities; the Company's expectations regarding the development of the industry and the competitive environment in which it operates; the expansion of the Company's plants and sites, and our expectations related to our capacity expansion; the global supply chain and the Company's committed orders; customer demand; the success of the Company's initiatives to optimize the industrial footprint, harmonize processes and enhance supply chain and logistics strategies; the Company's geographical and industrial footprint; and the Company's goals, strategies, and investment plans. The forward-looking statements in this press release are based on numerous assumptions regarding the Company’s present and future business strategies and the environment in which the Company will operate in the future. Forward-looking statements involve inherent known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and contingencies because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future, and may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Many of these risks and uncertainties relate to factors that are beyond the Company's ability to control or estimate precisely, such as conditions in the U.S. capital markets, negative global and domestic economic and political conditions, inflation, trade war and global tariff policies, the impact of the conflict between Russia and the Ukraine, the evolving events in Israel and Gaza, supply chain and logistical challenges and other factors such as the Company's ability to continue to obtain financing to meet its liquidity needs, changes in the geopolitical, social and regulatory framework in which the Company operates or in economic or technological trends or conditions. For a description of the risks that could cause the Company’s future results to differ from those expressed in any such forward looking statements, refer to the risk factors discussed in our most recent annual report on Form 20-F, and our most recent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers should therefore not place undue reliance on these statements, particularly not in connection with any contract or investment decision. Except as required by law, the Company assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the tables included in this press release for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures.

Management monitors and evaluates our operating and financial performance using several non-GAAP financial measures, including Constant Currency Revenue, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Operating Profit Margin, Adjusted Income Taxes, Adjusted Net Profit, Adjusted Diluted EPS, CAPEX, Free Cash Flow, Net Cash/(Debt), and Capital Employed. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful and relevant information regarding its performance and improve its ability to assess our financial condition. While similar measures are widely used in the industry in which the Company operates, the financial measures it uses may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies, nor are they intended to be substitutes for measures of financial performance or financial position as prepared in accordance with IFRS.
