The main reason for this is the postponement of security X-ray system deployments in the EMEIA region (Europe, the Middle East, India, and Africa). The company maintains its net sales guidance for Q3 2025 unchanged.

Detection Technology expects its total net sales to decline by high single digits year-on-year in Q2 2025 and to remain stable year-on-year in Q3 2025.
Geopolitical situation, new US import tariffs, U.S.–China relations, U.S.–EU relations, global economy, China’s healthcare reform, price competition especially in China, the indirect impacts of the war in Ukraine, and events in the Middle East create uncertainty.
Detection Technology aims to increase its sales by at least 10% per annum and to achieve an operating margin (EBITA) of 15% in the medium term.
