Investing.com – French power and advanced materials company Mersen (EPA:MRN) announced on Wednesday that organic sales will decline by 3.2% in 2025, with revenue dropping to €1.186 billion.

Net profit decreased to €14 million from the previous year, impacted by a €45 million asset impairment. The company announced a dividend of €0.90 per share, with an annual return on capital of 8.4%.

The decline in sales was driven by weakness in the solar and silicon carbide semiconductor markets, but strong performance in transportation, wind power, and distribution panels partially offset this impact.

Despite lower sales and an unfavorable product mix, Mersen stated that strict cost control and adjustment plans helped mitigate the impact on profitability. Price increases and productivity improvements outpaced inflation in raw materials and labor costs.

The company returned to positive free cash flow in 2025, achieving this milestone a year ahead of schedule.

For 2026, Mersen forecasts organic sales growth between 2% and 6%. The company expects an EBITDA margin of 16%, plus or minus 50 basis points, before non-recurring items.

Mersen plans capital expenditures between €90 million and €100 million in 2026.
