The revenues of Icecat N.V. (ISIN: NL0012751226) increased slightly during the second half (H2) of 2025 compared to the same period last year. The growth is still somewhat slowing down, whereby global uncertainties because of the tariff war likely played a large role. The order intake is growing over 2025 a bit faster, by 4%, so the trend is towards growth recovery.
The EBITDA increased over the same period by 4%. Given that the cost of sales and operating expenses decreased. The profits (EBT) increased by 4% over this period, driven by the improved EBITDA. The profitability (EBT/net turnover) improved slightly to 20%. These earnings contribute to the already very solid cash position.
In conclusion, all key financial metrics of Icecat continued to show solid progress although we continue to strife for higher growth levels.
