FACC AG, the Austrian aerospace components supplier, reported first-half 2026 revenue of EUR 526.3 million, an 8.6% increase from the same period last year, as the company highlighted margin expansion and an upgraded outlook. EBIT rose 37.9% year-over-year to EUR 25.3 million, lifting the EBIT margin to 4.8% from 3.8% in H1 2025, while free cash flow surged 54% to EUR 48.9 million.
The company attributed the performance to efficiency gains under its CORE program and sustained demand across its cabin interiors, aerostructures and engines divisions. Cabin interiors revenue grew 17% to EUR 252.6 million, with EBIT margin improving to 3.5% from 1.9%, while aerostructures EBIT recovered to EUR 7.8 million with a 4.2% margin. The engines and nacelles segment reported a 9.7% EBIT margin despite a 6% revenue decline to EUR 89.4 million.
FACC also upgraded its full-year 2026 guidance, narrowing the revenue growth range to 10-15% from the prior 5-15% and setting an EBIT margin target of 5.25-6.25%, up from the previously unspecified range. The company reaffirmed plans to exceed an 8% EBIT margin by 2027, supported by a EUR 350 million investment program through 2030, including a EUR 120 million automated facility in Upper Austria slated to begin operations in 2028.
Net debt declined 16% to EUR 182.7 million, with the leverage ratio improving to 2.05x from 2.67x at the end of 2025. FACC’s order backlog stood at 18,216 aircraft, while combined Airbus and Boeing deliveries in H1 2026 rose 12% year-over-year to 665 units. The company noted global aircraft fleet growth projections of 42,060 new passenger aircraft deliveries by 2045, with 47% expected to replace older models.
Shares of FACC traded at USD 16.28 following the presentation, down 2.86% from the prior close of USD 16.76, though still well above the 52-week low of USD 7.00.
