T he 2025/26 financial year was a pleasingly positive one for the FRAISA Group — and that's in an economic environment that was anything but easy. US tariff measures, a strong Swiss franc, and significantly higher carbide prices put the market under pressure. All the more reason we're proud that, in such a challenging environment, we didn't just hold our ground — we made clear gains. Although the first few months of the financial year showed a slight decline in turnover compared to the previous year, all markets reached a turning point during the second half of the year. The Group's revenue rose moderately to 106.1million CHF (previous year: 105.4 million CHF), representing a growth of 0.7%. Currency-adjusted, the growth stands at 3.1%. The significant improvement in earning power is particularly encouraging: EBITDA rose to 25.4 million CHF, corresponding to 23.9% of turnover (previous year: 19.3%). The key driver behind this positive earnings development was, above all, the disciplined execution of our cost and process management initiatives. At the same time, this financial year laid the groundwork for capitalizing even more effectively on the modest market growth forecast for the period ahead. Company profit after taxes reached 13.2 million CHF, compared with 9.3million CHF in the previous year. This reflects not only the stronger operating performance but also a more favorable extraordinary balance, thanks to the absence of the one-time charges that had weighed on the previous year. The balance sheet total grew to 137.7million CHF, and equity rose to 105.5million CHF — with an equity ratio of 76.6%. This gives the FRAISA Group an excellent financial foundation that ensures entrepreneurial freedom of action, innovative strength, and the capacity to invest. Investments in machinery, equipment, and real estate amounted to 6.1 million CHF – targeted funds channeled consistently into ensuring the long-term viability of our production sites. Overall, the 2025/26 financial year shows FRAISA is resilient, profitable, and exceptionally well positioned — a strong foundation for continued growth.
