- Strong revenue of €16.6 million in the first half of 2025, in line with the annual guidance of around €33 million

Regulatory News:
SEMCO Technologies (ISIN: FR0014010H01; Ticker: ALSEM), a company specializing in the design and manufacture of strategic components for the production of semiconductors, announces today its revenue for the first half of 2025.
Laurent Pélissier, CEO of SEMCO Technologies, said: "With revenue of €16.6 million in the first half of the year, we are delivering a solid performance, reflecting strong demand from our international OEM customers for our eChucks, strategic components supporting the production of advanced semiconductors. This also reflects the robustness of our industrial model, which enables us to ensure production and delivery in line with our customers' expectations. Backed by these strengths, which support our long-term growth, and with the expansion of our production capacity starting in September 2025, we approach the remainder of the year with confidence and determination, reaffirming the guidance we announced at the time of our initial public offering. As a reminder, we were recently pleased to announce the great success of this operation, with the offering oversubscribed 5.6 times for total demand of €225.7 million."
Strong revenue in the first half of 2025
Following the sale of the 'Gas Components' business to ECM Components on 30 April 2024, there is no comparable basis for the revenue for the first half of 2024. This strategic decision is in line with SEMCO Technologies' commitment to focus exclusively on the development and manufacture of electrostatic chucks for the semiconductor industry.
In the first half of 2025, SEMCO Technologies generated revenue of €16.6 million, reflecting solid business activity. This performance was driven by the continued qualification of its products with new customers and sustained momentum with its existing customers, supported by strong pricing power.
SEMCO Technologies has confirmed its ability to de-correlate its performance from semiconductor market cycles and the international macroeconomic and geopolitical environment. As such, uncertainty surrounding import fees had no impact on business. This is mainly due to the differentiating technological advantage of eChuck, which generally costs less than 1% of the equipment in which it is integrated. This unique positioning significantly limits the impact of tariff pressures within the sector on SEMCO Technologies' order volume.
This commercial performance is fully in line with the Group's forecasts and is on track to achieve the annual revenue guidance of around €33 million announced during SEMCO Technologies' Initial Public Offering.
Increased production capacity in the second half of 2025
SEMCO Technologies recently began operating a new clean room for the deployment of a production line. This facility, currently in semi-automatic mode, will be fully automated by September 2025. It should double annual production, with an additional production capacity of 2,000 eChucks.
To finance these developments, the Company will allocate a portion of the funds raised during the IPO, in line with the reasons stated in the Offer.
Confirmation of all Group's commercial, operational and financial guidance
Backed by solid business performance and enhanced industrial capacity, SEMCO Technologies reaffirms all of the guidance announced at the time of its initial public offering, namely:
2025 | 2028 | |
Revenue | c.€33m of which 100% backed as of end April | Over €55m |
Distribution of net income | At least 30%1 | At least 30%1 |
EBIT margin | c.38,5% | Over 40% |
Next financial announcement: half-year results for 2025, 25 September 2025 after market close.
