Cabka reports stable Q3 performance amidst challenging markets, reiterating commitment to profitable growth

Amsterdam 21 October 2025. Cabka N.V. (referred to as “Cabka” or the “Company” along with its subsidiaries), a specialist in converting hard-to-recycle plastic waste into innovative Reusable Transport Packaging (RTP), and listed on Euronext Amsterdam, has released its trading update for the third quarter of 2025.

Sales for the third quarter remained largely consistent at €42.1 million when compared to the corresponding quarter last year (Q3 2024: €42.4 million). Total year-to-date sales reached €132 million, a slight decrease from €135 million recorded in the same period of 2024. Enhanced operational efficiency and prudent pricing strategies contributed to a modest year-over-year increase in EBITDA over sales margins.

Our RTP Portfolio continued to experience market softness in both Europe and the US, leading to year-to-date revenue declines of 13% and 2% respectively. Conversely, the Pooling and Systems segment (formerly known as Customized Solutions) in Europe demonstrated a 7% year-to-date growth, as customers in this area are less exposed to volatile market fluctuations.

The Contract Manufacturing division sustained its recovery from the weak demand observed last year, showing a 20% growth year-to-date. Concurrently, the ECO business maintained its upward trajectory, achieving 3% growth year-to-date.

Alexander Masharov, CEO, commented: “We are pleased with the relatively stable Q3 results. Our disciplined approach to cost control, ongoing commitment to positive cash flow generation, and diversification across business segments are instrumental in maintaining our profitability levels. Our primary focus remains on executing the transformation roadmap towards profitable and sustainable growth. However, market conditions continue to be challenging, marked by persistent volatility stemming from global trade disruptions that regularly flare up. Due to these factors, we now anticipate our full-year 2025 sales and EBITDA to be broadly consistent with the previous year’s figures.”

Forthcoming Events
On November 19, 2025, the company will host its Virtual Capital Markets Update. CEO, Alexander Masharov, is scheduled to present the updated Business Strategy 2030 and future growth plans.
