Net financial result was (3,052) kEUR compared to 1,033 kEUR for the second quarter of 2024, reflecting highly unfavorable effects from unrealized exchange rate fluctuations.
The second quarter of 2025 contained income tax benefits of 521 kEUR, compared to income tax expenses of (959) kEUR in the second quarter of 2024.
As a result of the above, net profit for the second quarter of 2025 was 199 kEUR, compared to 3,875 kEUR for the same period in 2024. Total comprehensive income for the second quarter of 2025, which includes exchange differences on translation of foreign operations, was 823 kEUR compared to 3,093 kEUR for the corresponding 2024 period.
At June 30, 2025, we report 116,712 kEUR cash and cash equivalents on our balance sheet compared to 102,304 kEUR at December 31, 2024. Gross debt amounted to 53,667 kEUR, compared to 41,284 kEUR at December 31, 2024. As a result, our reported net cash position was 63,045 kEUR, an increase of 2,025 kEUR compared to December 31, 2024.

Adjusted EBIT was 3,058 kEUR for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 3,872 kEUR for the 2024 period.

Adjusted EBITDA from our Materialise Software segment remained stable at 1,373 kEUR from 1,374 kEUR, while the segment Adjusted EBITDA margin was 13.9% compared to 12.2% for the corresponding prior-year period, reflecting the impact of strict cost control.
Adjusted EBITDA from our Materialise Manufacturing segment amounted to (807) kEUR compared to 2,416 kEUR for the same period in 2024, while the segment Adjusted EBITDA margin was (3.6)% compared to 8.2% for the second quarter of 2024.
Non-IFRS Measures
Materialise uses EBIT, EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental financial measures of its financial performance. EBIT is calculated as net profit plus income taxes, financial expenses (less financial income) and shares of profit or loss in a joint venture. EBITDA is calculated as net profit plus income taxes, financial expenses (less financial income), shares of profit or loss in a joint venture and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA are determined by adding to EBIT and EBITDA, respectively (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) acquisition or divestiture-related expenses of business combinations, (iii) impairments and revaluation of fair value due to business combinations and (iv) costs incurred in relation to corporate initiatives, restructurings or reorganizations that are of a non-recurring nature. Management believes these non-IFRS measures to be important measures as they exclude the effects of items which primarily reflect the impact of financing decisions and, in the case of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, long term investment, rather than the performance of the company’s day-to-day operations. The company also uses segment Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the performance of its three business segments. As compared to net profit, these measures are limited in that they do not reflect the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on the company’s indebtedness and, in the case of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, these measures are further limited in that they do not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in the company’s business, or the changes associated with impairments. Management evaluates such items through other financial measures such as financial expenses, capital expenditures and cash flow provided by operating activities. The company believes that these measurements are useful to measure a company’s ability to grow or as a valuation measurement. The company’s calculation of EBIT, EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. EBIT, EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net profit or any other performance measure derived in accordance with IFRS. The company’s presentation of EBIT, EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
