OUTLOOK

The Group reaffirms its ambition to improve its key financial indicators for the fourth consecutive year in 2026 - most notably recurring operating income - and to generate positive operating Free Cash Flow.

The Group’s longer-term cross-functional strategic initiatives - automation, robotization, digitalization, new products, capacity investments, and rationalization of its geographic footprint - will support the expansion of production capacity, the enhancement of the portfolio’s value, and improved productivity. Given their implementation timelines, learning curves, and the need to adapt industrial resources to program development, their rollout could temporarily moderate operational leverage without undermining the strength of the Group’s current trajectory.

Building on solid financial fundamentals, the LISI Group reaffirms its ability to strengthen its global positions in its high-value-added businesses over the long term.
