for Q2 FY2026   Koblenz, April 22, 2026 - The adjusted EBIT[1] of Stabilus SE (WKN: STAB1L, ISIN: DE000STAB1L8) for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 (quarter ending March 31, 2026) amounts to €34.1 million based on preliminary figures, which is €3.1 million or 10.0% above market expectations of €31.0 million (Vara Research consensus estimate from April 7, 2026). The adjusted EBIT margin[1] for Q2 FY2026 is expected to be 11.2%, compared to market expectations of 10.5 % (Vara Research consensus estimate from April 7, 2026). Adjusted free cash flow[1] is expected to be €4.1 million, significantly below the €18.1 million recorded in the same quarter of the previous year (Q2 FY2025) and the €23.9 million figure from the previous quarter (Q1 FY2026). This is primarily due to an increase in net working capital in the second quarter resulting from strong sales momentum in March 2026 and the associated build-up of accounts receivable. From today’s perspective, Stabilus expects these effects to normalize over the remainder of the fiscal year as payments are received. Adjusted free cash flow for the first half of fiscal year 2026, at €28.0 million, was above the previous year’s half-year figure of €27.0 million. Based on preliminary figures, Stabilus SE’s revenue for Q2 FY2026 amounted to €304.9 million (Q2 FY2025: €338.0 million), representing a decline of approximately 9.8% (organic: -6.6%). Revenue was thus slightly above market expectations of €295.2 million (Vara Research consensus estimate from April 7, 2026). Against this background, Stabilus confirms its full-year forecast for the current fiscal year 2026: Revenue: €1.1 billion to €1.3 billion Adjusted EBIT margin: 10% to 12% Adjusted free cash flow: €80 million to €110 million. Stabilus will publish further information as part of its Q2 FY2026 reporting on May 4, 2026. -------------------- [1] See the definition/calculation of the key figures adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBIT margin, and adjusted free cash flow in Stabilus financial reports, e.g., in the 2025 annual report, pages 43 ff., 47 ff., 215 or in the Q1 FY2026 quarterly statement, pages 14 ff., 17 ff., 25 on the corporate website at ir.stabilus.com.   End of Ad-hoc Announcement   Investor contact:
