Wait-and-see mode of customers

  • Oerlikon Q1 sequentially supported as Q4 destocking stopped; continued soft end markets due to subdued demand in China
  • Swiss watch exports -6% in Q1; continued recovery of tax-free shopping
  • Expect high single-digit growth rates in mid-term

Aviation

8%

Continued recovery

  • Recovery driven by MRO with increased flying hours; Q1 impacted by seasonality for equipment sales
  • New plane production supported by passenger growth and energy efficiency
  • +19% passenger growth in Feb YTD; +10% passenger growth expected in 2024 2

Filament

26%

1st sequential improvement since 2022

  • Filament orders supported by sequential improvement
  • Some initial signs of revitalization in small and mid-sized orders
  • Underlying need for filament equipment intact; equipment market CAGR 01-22 of +4%

Non-Filament

18%

Soft PMIs; car launches reaccelerated

  • Soft PMIs impacting broadly diversified geographies and end markets
  • Some customers delaying investments, e.g. in nonwoven, staple fiber and industrial yarns applications
  • Flow Control benefiting from reacceleration of car launches towards end of Q1

PMIs still soft but gaining momentum sequentially in Q1
