The Agfa-Gevaert Group in Q1 2025: adjusted EBITDA stable versus Q1 2024 – improved mix and good cost control compensated for film market decline
Mortsel (Belgium), May 14, 2025 – 7:45 a.m. CET – Agfa-Gevaert today commented on its results in the first quarter of 2025.
"The first quarter of 2025 was marked by the continued strong performance of our HealthCare IT division, driven by customer adoption of our leading cloud technology. While our Digital Printing Solutions equipment business faced challenges due to economic uncertainty, and the market for our ZIRFON membranes for green hydrogen production slowed down in Europe and North America, the long-term outlook for these businesses remains promising. We are actively addressing the decline in traditional film markets through our cost optimization program, with initial savings expected in the second half of 2025."
Pascal Juéry, President and CEO of the Agfa-Gevaert Group.

Outlook
The Agfa-Gevaert Group expects that the growth engines will continue to perform strongly in 2025. As usual, due to seasonality reasons, a slower start of the year is expected, followed by a stronger second half. This outlook is based on the current economic environment.
2025 outlook per division:
A part of the outstanding receivable in connection with the sale of the Offset Solutions division to Aurelius Group is still under discussion. The issue has been submitted to an independent expert, who will have to establish the final purchase price.
