Lonza Group AG reported strong financial results for the first half of 2025, with a revenue of CHF 3.6 billion, marking a 19.0% increase in constant currency terms and a 17.0% rise in actual currency terms compared to the same period in 2024. The core EBITDA reached CHF 1.1 billion, resulting in a robust margin of 29.6%, an improvement of 0.4 percentage points from the first half of 2024. The company’s CDMO (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization) business contributed significantly to these results, achieving a revenue growth of 23.1% and maintaining a core EBITDA margin of 30.2%. This performance was bolstered by effective operational execution, disciplined cost management, and progress in growth initiatives. The Capsules & Health Ingredients (CHI) segment also performed well with stable revenue and an improved core EBITDA margin of 26.2%, up 1.4 percentage points from the previous year. Looking ahead, Lonza anticipates negative currency effects on revenue and core EBITDA for the full year 2025, estimated at -2.5% to -3.5%, primarily due to the weakening of the US dollar. Despite these challenges, Lonza expects to maintain its margins minimally affected, thanks to natural hedging and financial instruments.
