FACC AG posts revenue and earnings growth, plans EUR 120 million investment

Aerospace component manufacturer FACC AG announced a robust performance in the first half of 2026, with group revenue rising by 8.6% to EUR 526.3 million compared to the same period in the previous year. The operating result (EBIT) also saw a significant improvement, increasing by 38% to EUR 25.3 million, leading to an enhanced EBIT margin of 4.8%.

The company's growth is supported by a sustained high global demand for new commercial aircraft. Projections indicate that major aircraft manufacturers will deliver approximately 1,700 new planes in 2026, with airlines' order backlogs ensuring high production levels for years to come. FACC, as a development and supply partner to leading aerospace firms, benefits directly from this industry expansion.

To accommodate increased production rates and new projects, FACC has decided to invest EUR 120 million in a new high-tech factory in St. Martin, Austria. This strategic investment aims to boost manufacturing capacity and support the development of new customer projects. Additionally, FACC continues to prioritize digitalization and automation, investing EUR 6 million in the first half of the year to enhance production efficiency and product quality.

FACC's financial position has strengthened, with net debt decreasing from EUR 218.7 million to EUR 182.7 million. Based on current demand, the company has updated its outlook for fiscal year 2026, now expecting revenue growth between 10% and 15%, surpassing EUR 1 billion for the first time. Profitability is also projected to improve, with an expected EBIT margin of 5.25% to 6.25%.
