AD HOC ANNOUNCEMENT PURSUANT TO ART. 53 LR

Avolta AG (SIX: AVOL) delivered a strong performance on all KPIs in Q1 2026, amid the Middle East conflict. The group’s diversified geographic and business mix continues to provide resilience, while management remains focused on disciplined execution and is ready to take targeted actions, if required, to protect profitability and cash flow. While visibility remains limited, confidence in delivering the medium-term outlook is unchanged.

Q1 2026 KEY FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Avolta reported turnover of CHF 2,962m and CORE turnover1 of CHF 2,905m, reflecting organic growth of +4.7% (+5.9% excluding the drag from the Middle East conflict) and CER2 growth of +4.0% YoY. Growth remained resilient despite the headwind from the Middle East conflict and some timing effect from Easter. Preliminary data indicates that for March and April combined, organic growth is around +3.0% including an estimated Middle East impact of -3%.

CORE EBITDA1 reached CHF 190m, with a margin of 6.6% (+0.2% YoY) reflecting disciplined execution across the business. On a constant currency basis, EBITDA grew +8.4% YoY. 

EFCF totalled CHF -164m, reflecting typical seasonality, working capital investments in new operations, notably Shanghai Pudong (approximately CHF 50m), and the impact from the Middle East situation (CHF 8m). These effects are anticipated to normalize over the course of 2026.

The company’s financial net debt stood at CHF 2,724m as at March 31, 2026, representing a leverage ratio of 2.1x, and down from CHF 2,820m and 2.2x respectively as at March 31, 2025. Quarter-end liquidity totalled CHF 1,894m. 

Business development advanced across both travel retail and food & beverage in the quarter. Notable wins included Zurich Airport, strengthening long-standing partnerships; Shanghai Pudong, Avolta’s duty-free entry into mainland China; and Toronto Pearson, where the F&B expands an established duty-free footprint in North America. 

Xavier Rossinyol, CEO of Avolta: 

“Avolta delivered a resilient first quarter, despite the Middle East conflict, underpinned by disciplined execution across the business, its diversified global platform and flexible cost base, allowing Avolta to protect its profitability and cash flow. 

This performance reflects the focus and commitment of our teams worldwide. I would like to especially thank our colleagues in, and supporting, our operations in the Middle East, whose professionalism and dedication ensure continuity for our partners and our travelers every day.”

MEDIUM-TERM OUTLOOK

Avolta confirms its medium-term outlook, targeting organic growth of 5%-7%, +20-40bps of CORE EBITDA margin improvement and +100-150bps EFCF conversion on average per annum. This outlook is underpinned by the strength of industry fundamentals and Avolta’s geographic- and channel- diversified business model. While the Middle East conflict continues to represent a near-term headwind and visibility remains limited, the Group retains the flexibility to adapt its cost base as needed to safeguard profitability, cash flow and capital allocation. Current external uncertainties are expected to be temporary in nature. 

At current exchange rates, 2026 currency translation is expected to be -5%.
