The annual investment budget amounted to €37.2 million for the financial year , compared with €49.9 million in 2024. OUTLOOK As indicated in the last quarterly report, the Group's business outlook for 2026 points to a more significant decline in consolidated revenue than in the last financial year, with a double-digit decline currently anticipated. In addition to the expected and planned decline in volumes for SCR series tanks, market inertia, slowe r development of electric vehicles, and increased pressure from Chinese vehicle competitors are leading to postponements or cancellations of electric and hydrogen vehicle programs in America, China, and Europe, as well as non-renewals or drastic reductions in volumes for ongoing projects. In this challenging and uncertain environment, AKWEL will continue its efforts to control all costs in 2026 in order to adapt its operations to this downward trend in activity . Greater attention will be paid to managing it s projects and investments in order to consolidate the satisfaction of its strategic customers , preserve the Group's capacity for innovation and future revenue , and realize its CSR ambitions following the ECOVADIS gold medal it obtained last October.
