Release Date: August 06, 2026 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points Rational AG (RATIY) delivered solid first-half 2026 results with organic revenue growth of 8% and 6% after FX adjustments, exceeding growth rates from 2025 and 2024. The company achieved a record EBIT margin of 26.5% in H1 2026, driven by strong operational performance and a one-time tariff refund of EUR14 million. The innovative iHexagon product is gaining strong customer traction, as evidenced by a compelling customer testimonial highlighting significant improvements in cooking speed, energy efficiency, and food waste reduction. The iVario product line showed robust growth of 14% in H1 2026, with particularly strong performance in North America (24% growth), underscoring its market penetration potential. Management confirmed the full-year outlook, expecting mid to high single-digit revenue growth and an EBIT margin at the upper end of the 25%-26% corridor, supported by a healthy order backlog and continued strong demand in key markets like Germany and North America. Negative Points Revenue growth in Q2 2026 slowed to 4% due to pull-forward effects in the US from pre-buying ahead of price increases, which dampened sequential momentum. Sales in China declined by 25% year-over-year, primarily due to Yum China's shift to local sourcing, creating a significant headwind in the Asia region. The company faces rising input costs, including higher prices for steel, chemicals, and electronic components, which are expected to pressure gross margins in the second half of 2026. Tariffs on US exports are expected to total EUR28-29 million for the full year, with a similar impact anticipated in 2027, potentially requiring future price increases to offset. Geopolitical tensions, particularly the Middle East conflict, have negatively impacted sales in the region, with a decline of around EUR2 million in H1 2026 and elevated costs. Story Continues Q & A Highlights Q: Could you provide an update on the market development in China, the acceptance of the iCombi One product there, customer feedback, and whether the product has already secured any major chain or key account contracts in that region? A: Peter Stadelmann (CEO): Consumer sentiment in China remains subdued and continues to weigh on our business performance. The main headwind is the decline in sales to Yum China as KFC China is increasingly shifting towards a local sourcing strategy. At the same time, our street business is positive. The iCombi One sales team has been set up, and we are gaining new dealers for all products every month. Customer interest in the iCombi One is high, and as previously announced, we have already secured a contract with a new key account for the iCombi One. Q: Looking at guidance for this year, could you provide an update on the outlook for the second half and the remainder of the year, including input cost developments, demand trends", "date_published": "2026-08-11T01:04:02+00:00", "authors": [{"name": "finance.yahoo.com"}], "tags": ["Market update", "TFI"], "_sharemaestro": {"country": "France", "coverage": "Provider-linked mention", "market_context": null, "companies": [{"symbol": "TFI", "name": "TF1 SA", "sentiment_url": "https://sharemaestro.com/sentiment/7ad0954f-8f15-4cb5-9c1f-7d179bce343f/"}]}}, {"id": "source:9dd8bc356f676551459a7a1ba27d14b6d8623536224dfbe7a327efc8e94dd628", "url": "https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiwwFBVV95cUxQZU5laWVoaVE5X2RFWVdWeHhGMUVEVVBSWGM4WEo1b0RDY0pmU1JxY1ZLb3Y1QzJSZV9DNTZaZHUzeUxRQ19mWC1LMC1SRE90aDFFeVdlbi1aRTF3S0o5Z29qX2o4S09RSXR2WTcwRm4xZzFQWXFmWldKM3pSM2FENlhLcmxwSHg4ejNvZURGUW5xRS1HWWpkSlpNWExPd2NzdGRPQ09McUJvRXBqREY0R0xSdldudXFOaFJMenFZUzZibWc?oc=5", "external_url": "https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiwwFBVV95cUxQZU5laWVoaVE5X2RFWVdWeHhGMUVEVVBSWGM4WEo1b0RDY0pmU1JxY1ZLb3Y1QzJSZV9DNTZaZHUzeUxRQ19mWC1LMC1SRE90aDFFeVdlbi1aRTF3S0o5Z29qX2o4S09RSXR2WTcwRm4xZzFQWXFmWldKM3pSM2FENlhLcmxwSHg4ejNvZURGUW5xRS1HWWpkSlpNWExPd2NzdGRPQ09McUJvRXBqREY0R0xSdldudXFOaFJMenFZUzZibWc?oc=5", "title": "SES S.A. r\u00e9it\u00e8re ses pr\u00e9visions de r\u00e9sultats pour l'exercice 2026", "content_text": "SES S.A. r\u00e9it\u00e8re ses pr\u00e9visions de r\u00e9sultats pour l'exercice 2026", "date_published": "2026-07-31T07:00:00+00:00", "authors": [{"name": "Zonebourse"}], "tags": ["Market update", "SESG"], "_sharemaestro": {"country": "France", "coverage": "Main company", "market_context": null, "companies": [{"symbol": "SESG", "name": "SES S.A.", "sentiment_url": "https://sharemaestro.com/sentiment/b69f1e66-0f66-4902-9001-d1162b19f9df/"}]}}]}
