IBU-tec advanced materials

IBU-tec has received approval from authorities for new operational buildings at the LFP battery materials production facility under construction in Bitterfeld-Wolfen. The key project is expected to become a core pillar of growth; the company anticipates a marked increase in business from 2027. No growth is expected for the current year. » Więcej na finanzen.net

The IBU‑tec share jumped sharply on Tuesday and gained about 213.6% over the past 52 weeks. The driver is the strategic focus on battery materials and recycling, including a cooperation with Hosokawa Alpine for recycling coated cathode foils. In the ProLiT research project, IBU‑tec presented an industrially scalable dry coating process that uses the company’s cathode material IBUvolt® LFP400 and is said to be more energy‑efficient and solvent‑free. Investors see significant growth potential in the business model and the focus on the recyclate market, which is expanding due to the EU battery regulation. » Więcej na finanzen.net

IBU-tec advanced materials raises its EBITDA margin forecast for 2025 to 10.5–11.0% (previously 7.0–9.0%) and narrows its sales forecast to €44.5–45.0 million. The driver is the accelerated battery business, with large-volume contracts with PowerCo from 2027 expected to deliver significant revenue and earnings contributions. Part of the contract-acquisition expenses will already weigh on 2025 results; nevertheless, the management board expects an EBITDA of €2.7–3.0 million in H2 2025 versus €0.9 million in H2 2024. A medium-term sales and earnings plan is to be published in early 2026. » Więcej na finanzen.net
