21st Austria weekly - FACC, Kontron, Andritz, Frequentis (25/03/2026)

FACC: Aerospace supplier FACC AG increased revenue by 11.3% to EUR 984.4 million in the 2025 financial year, marking the highest revenue in the company’s history. In a market environment that remained dynamic, EBIT also increased by 49.4% to EUR 42.3 million. This corresponds to an improvement in the EBIT margin from 3.2% to 4.3% – despite ongoing distortions in international supply chains as well as high personnel and energy costs in Austria. All divisions of FACC – Aerostructures, Engines & Nacelles and Cabin Interiors – also reported a positive result.One of the main drivers of this development is the CORE efficiency enhancement program, which has been in place since autumn 2024 and has had a positive effect in all divisions in the 2025 financial year. In particular, the Croatia site, which went into operation four years ago, was also able to contribute significantly to a sustainable increase in earnings in the Cabin Interiors division thanks to scale effects. For the 2026 financial year, FACC's management expects further revenue growth of 5 to 15%. In the 2026 financial year, the focus will continue to be on the implementation of the CORE efficiency enhancement program and the further improvement of the EBIT margin.

Kontron: On 25 March 2026, the Executive Board of Kontron AG resolved on the implementation of a new share buyback program for own shares. The Executive Board's decision to launch the Share Buyback Program I 2026 was taken against the background of the current share price of the company, which, from the Executive Board's perspective, represents a very attractive level. The intended volume under the Share Buyback Program I 2026 amounts to up to 2.900.000 shares, corresponding to approximately 4.54% of the current share capital of Kontron AG. The Share Buyback Program I 2026 is planned to commence on Thursday, 26 March 2026 and to last until (and including) 30 September 2026 at the latest.
