PRESS RELEASE Consolidated sales rose by CHF 6.3 million to CHF 264.7 million (previous year: CHF 258.4 million). Operating cash flow increased by 52% to CHF 25.6 million (previous year: CHF 16.8 million) EBIT amounted to CHF -31.6 million due to one-off special effects and extraordinary operating costs (previous year: CHF -7.6 million). The equity ratio was 18.2% at September 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: 24.3%). Pratteln, November 28, 2025 – Highlight Group publishes development of the first nine months Group development in the third quarter of 2025 The 2.4% higher revenue compared to the previous year is due to risen revenue in the cinema and home entertainment sector in the Film segment. Due to one-time special effects in the Sports and Events segment, operating profit (EBIT) was CHF -31.6 million (previous year: CHF -7.6 million). These special effects had no cash impact, which is why cash flow from operating activities continued to develop positively. Cash and cash equivalents increased by 52% compared to the previous year. Equity amounted to CHF 108.3 million. Bernhard Burgener, President of the Board of Directors of the Highlight Group, commented on the interim financial statements as follows: "With a 2.4% increase in consolidated sales and a 52% increase in operating cash flow, we have taken important steps toward achieving our goal of stable and economically successful business operations. One-off, non-cash special effects and extraordinary operating costs in the Sports and Events segment have had a significant negative impact on the income statement for the first nine months, resulting in a clearly negative operating result. However, a significant improvement in results is expected for the traditionally stronger fourth quarter due to the largely elimination of extraordinary costs and a continued positive sales trend." The quarterly statement as of September 30, 2025 is available for download at www.highlight-communications.ch from today.
