Interim Reports

On 6 November 2025, A.S. Création published its interim report for the period ending 30 September 2025:

 

Against the backdrop of the continuing tense economic situation with high geopolitical uncertainty, ongoing consumer restraint and declining industry demand, A.S. Création recorded a 6.5% or €5.6 million decline in sales in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the previous year. Consolidated sales fell from €86.4 million in the same period of the previous year to €80.8 million in the first three quarters of 2025.          

 

A.S. Création achieved an operating profit of €0.6 million in the reporting period, which was significantly higher than the previous year's figure of €-5.6 million. The main driver of this positive development was the noticeable improvement in the gross profit margin, which rose to 53.8%, 4.5 percentage points above the previous year's level.

 

Despite the continuing challenging economic conditions and a downward trend in the industry, the company achieved a satisfactory overall result in the first nine months of 2025. Although sales declined again by 6.5%, the gross profit margin improved to a very good level. The efficiency measures implemented and consistent cost discipline enabled the company to generate a positive operating result.
