Orders set a new quarterly record

VAT Group's Q3 2026 order intake reached CHF 696.60 million, up 39.30 percent from CHF 500.00 million in the second quarter and up 192.60 percent from CHF 238.10 million in the third quarter of 2025, according to FT.

The order backlog rose to CHF 979.50 million in the third quarter, up 51.20 percent from CHF 647.90 million in the second quarter and up 278.50 percent from CHF 258.80 million a year earlier. Book-to-bill reached 1.90, giving orders a clear lead over sales.

Three dates show the acceleration

On July 22, 2026, VAT Group said first-half order intake had increased 75.00 percent, according to VAT Group. On October 15, 2026, Q3 order intake reached CHF 696.60 million, according to FT. On the same date, Q3 net sales reached CHF 376.40 million, also according to FT.

What does the backlog mean for growth?

VAT Group expects fourth-quarter 2026 sales between CHF 420.00 million and CHF 450.00 million, with book-to-bill above 1.00. For full-year 2026, management expects higher orders, sales, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, net income and free cash flow than in 2025. The company also expects 2027 sales to exceed the previous CHF 1.50 billion to CHF 1.70 billion guidance range. The immediate test is whether production capacity can convert the CHF 979.50 million backlog into reported sales.

Next reporting date

The next scheduled reporting date shown by MarketScreener is March 1, 2027, for fourth-quarter 2026 results. The October 15 update therefore supplies the latest operating checkpoint before the annual figures.
