Riber Reports Strong Revenue Growth and Positive Net Income

RIBER, a global leader in semiconductor industry equipment, reported improved financial results for the first half of 2026. The company saw a 19% increase in revenues to €12.7 million, with a gross margin of €5.1 million, marking a 31% improvement and representing 39.8% of total revenues. This performance was driven by a 71% increase in Services and Accessories revenues to €5.1 million, compared to €2.97 million in the same period last year. The company also recorded a positive net income of €0.2 million, reversing the €0.8 million loss seen in the first half of 2025.

RIBER's Systems revenues amounted to €7.7 million, down 1% from the €7.77 million reported in the first half of 2025. The company secured €6 million in financing to accelerate the industrialization of ROSIE II, a platform designed for the growth of functional oxides on 300 mm silicon wafers. This technology is targeted at integrated silicon photonics, with potential applications in telecommunications and data centers, as well as in certain quantum architectures.

At the end of June 2026, RIBER's shareholders' equity stood at €25.7 million, down from €27.3 million at the end of 2025, primarily due to the result for the period and a €2.1 million distribution to shareholders from the issue premium account in June 2026. The company's cash position was €5.2 million at the end of June 2026, down from €7.5 million at the end of 2025 and €2.5 million at the end of June 2025. Financial debt, excluding IFRS 16, was €6.4 million, up from €1.4 million at the end of 2025 and €2.3 million at the end of June 2025.

The company's order book at the end of June 2026 was €26.8 million, down 3% year on year. This decrease was attributed to export restrictions to Asia, which prevented more than €8 million in orders from being secured, and longer decision-making cycles at certain customers. Systems orders amounted to €16.5 million, down 27% from the €22.5 million reported in the first half of 2025. Services and Accessories orders rose sharply to €10.3 million, up 98% from €5.2 million in the same period last year.

RIBER expects revenues to be broadly in line with 2025, subject to obtaining an export license for Asia. The company is continuing to strengthen its product offering by combining epitaxy and deposition technologies and developing process automation solutions.
