Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Stevanato Group reported solid first-quarter 2026 results with revenue up 7% year-over-year (10% at constant currency) to €273.6 million. Growth was driven by the Biopharmaceutical and Diagnostic Solutions segment, where revenue rose 13% to €249.0 million, offsetting a 31% decline in the Engineering segment to €24.6 million.

High-value solutions revenue increased 17% to €128.6 million, representing 47% of total revenue. Gross profit margin improved to 27.5% and operating profit margin to 14.2%. Net profit was €28.0 million, or €0.10 per diluted share, while adjusted net profit reached €29.6 million and adjusted diluted EPS €0.11.

Adjusted EBITDA rose to €65.5 million, with margin expanding to 23.9%. The company generated €5.5 million of free cash flow on €67.6 million of CAPEX and ended March 31, 2026 with net debt of €337.7 million. Management maintained full-year 2026 guidance, including revenue of €1.26–€1.29 billion and adjusted diluted EPS of €0.59–€0.63.

Positive

  • Biologics and GLP1 exposure expanding: Revenue from biologics grew 15%, with GLP1-related products contributing approximately 21–22% of total company revenue, reinforcing Stevanato’s role in a fast-growing treatment class.
  • Margin and high-value mix improvement: High-value solutions revenue increased 17% to €128.6 million (47% of total revenue), helping lift adjusted EBITDA margin to 23.9% from 22.4% and supporting profitability.

Negative

  • Engineering segment revenue down sharply: Engineering segment revenue declined 31% year-over-year to €24.6 million, and management remains cautious given the slow pace of new orders despite early benefits from its optimization plan.

Insights

Stevanato delivers steady Q1 growth, margin gains, and reaffirms 2026 outlook.

Stevanato Group posted Q1 2026 revenue of €273.6 million, up 7% year-over-year, with constant currency growth of 10%. Performance was led by the Biopharmaceutical and Diagnostic Solutions segment, where revenue rose 13% to €249.0 million, helped by both high-value and standard products.

High-value solutions revenue grew 17% to €128.6 million, now 47% of total revenue, supporting a gross margin of 27.5% and an operating margin of 14.2%. Adjusted EBITDA increased to €65.5 million, with margin improving to 23.9%. Revenue from biologics grew 15%, and GLP1-related business accounted for about 21–22% of total revenue.

Offsetting these positives, Engineering segment revenue fell 31% to €24.6 million, though its gross margin improved to 15.3% as optimization measures in Denmark took hold. Free cash flow was €5.5 million versus €29.7 million a year earlier, reflecting CAPEX of €67.6 million for new capacity in Indiana and Italy. Management’s decision to maintain 2026 guidance for revenue of €1.26–€1.29 billion and adjusted EPS of €0.59–€0.63 underscores confidence in demand for biologics and injectable therapies.

high-value solutions financial
"Revenue from high-value solutions increased 17%, year-over-year, to €128.6 million, and represented 47% of total revenue"
adjusted EBITDA margin financial
"For the first quarter of 2026, adjusted EBITDA increased to €65.5 million, and adjusted EBITDA margin improved 150 basis points to 23.9%"
Adjusted EBITDA margin shows how much profit a company makes from its core operations, expressed as a percentage of its total revenue, after removing certain one-time or unusual expenses and income. It helps investors understand the company's true earning ability from regular business activities, making it easier to compare performance over time or with other companies. Think of it as measuring the efficiency of a business in turning sales into profits, excluding irregular adjustments.
constant currency revenue financial
"revenue increased 7% (10% on a constant currency basis) to €273.6 million"
Revenue reported after removing the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates, so sales from overseas operations are measured using the same exchange rates as in a prior period. It matters to investors because it isolates a company's underlying sales performance from currency swings—like comparing two years using the same ruler—making it easier to see whether growth comes from business momentum or simply from favorable exchange-rate moves.
free cash flow financial
"the Company generated €5.5 million of positive free cash flow for the first quarter of 2026"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.

Stevanato Group Delivers 7% Revenue Growth (10% at Constant Currency) for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2026

- The Company Maintains Fiscal 2026 Guidance -

(PIOMBINO DESE, Italy) – May 7, 2026 – Stevanato Group S.p.A. (NYSE: STVN), a leading global provider of drug containment, drug delivery, and diagnostic solutions to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life sciences industries, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2026.

 

First Quarter of 2026 Highlights (comparisons to prior-year period)

 

For the first quarter of 2026, revenue increased 7% (10% on a constant currency basis) to €273.6 million, with high-value solutions representing 47% of total revenue.
Gross profit margin increased 30 basis points to 27.5%.
Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 150 basis points to 23.9%.
Diluted earnings per share were €0.10, and adjusted diluted earnings per share were €0.11.
The Company is maintaining its fiscal 2026 guidance and still expects revenue in the range of €1.26 billion to €1.29 billion, adjusted EBITDA in the range of €331.8 million to €346.9 million, and adjusted diluted EPS in the range of €0.59 to €0.63.

First Quarter 2026 Results

For the first quarter of 2026, total revenue increased 7% year-over-year (10% on a constant currency basis) to €273.6 million, driven by a 13% revenue increase (16% on a constant currency basis) from the Company's Biopharmaceutical and Diagnostic Solutions (BDS) Segment, which offset the revenue decline from the Engineering Segment. Revenue from high-value solutions increased 17%, year-over-year, to €128.6 million, and represented 47% of total revenue for the first quarter of 2026.

 

In the first quarter of 2026, gross profit margin increased 30 basis points to 27.5% driven by: (i) the ongoing improvements in Fishers and Latina as the new facilities continue to scale, (ii) an increase in high-value solutions, and (iii) improved marginality in the Engineering Segment. These positive trends were partially offset by the expected higher depreciation and the effects of foreign currency translation in the first quarter of 2026. Operating profit margin improved 70 basis points to 14.2%.

 

Net profit was €28.0 million for the first quarter of 2026, with diluted earnings per share of €0.10. For the first quarter of 2026, adjusted net profit increased to €29.6 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share increased to €0.11, compared with €0.10 for the same period last year.

 

For the first quarter of 2026, adjusted EBITDA increased to €65.5 million, and adjusted EBITDA margin improved 150 basis points to 23.9%, compared with the same period last year.

 

Franco Stevanato, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The first quarter was a solid start to 2026, highlighted by the strong momentum in the BDS Segment which delivered 16% growth at constant currency rates, driven by revenue increases across most product categories in both high-value and standard products. As expected, higher depreciation tempered gross profit margins in the quarter but results also reflect financial improvements in Fishers and Latina as we scale production,which in turn is driving the increase in high-value solutions. Revenue from biologics, which is our fastest growing

end market, increased 15%, compared to the prior-year period, driven by GLP1s which accounted for approximately 21% to 22% of total Company revenue. Our success in this blockbuster treatment class demonstrates the trust and reliability that customers place on Stevanato Group to deliver high quality products at scale for their most valuable drug assets."

 

Biopharmaceutical and Diagnostic Solutions (BDS) Segment
Revenue grew 13% (16% on a constant currency basis) to €249.0 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared with the same period last year, driven by growth in high value and standard products.

 

In the first quarter of 2026, revenue from high-value solutions increased 17% to €128.6 million, and represented 52% of BDS Segment revenue, driven predominantly by high-performance syringes and, to a lesser extent, EZ-fill® vials. Revenue from other containment and delivery solutions increased 9% to €120.3 million, compared with the same period last year, driven mostly by standard syringes and cartridges, which offset a lower revenue from IVD services.

 

For the first quarter of 2026, gross profit increased €1.2 million driven by the ramp up in Fishers and Latina and the favorable mix shift in high-value solutions. This was partially offset by: (i) higher depreciation, which was the largest headwind to gross profit, as more manufacturing lines are put into commercial service, (ii) the unfavorable effects of foreign currency, (iii) lower revenue and profit from an accretive pilot project with an industry-leading customer for large-batch, Not for Human Use (NFHU) fill and finish services, which did not recur in the first quarter of 2026, and (iv) the unfavorable impact from tariffs. As a result, gross profit margin decreased 300 basis points to 28.3%.

 

Engineering Segment
Revenue from the Engineering Segment decreased 31% to €24.6 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared with the same period last year, driven by lower revenue from glass converting and assembly manufacturing, which offset growth in pharmaceutical visual inspection.

 

For the first quarter of 2026, gross profit margin for the Engineering Segment increased 460 basis points to 15.3%, compared with the same period last year, as the Company begins to realize the benefits from the actions taken under its business optimization plan. This includes right-sizing operations and an improved labor cost structure which led to better financial performance in the Company's Denmark operations. While actions under the optimization plan are starting to gain traction, the Company remains cautious given the current slow pace of orders.

 

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of €111.7 million, and net debt of €337.7 million.

 

For the first quarter of 2026, capital expenditures totaled €67.6 million, as the Company continues to increase capacity in its new manufacturing facilities in Indiana and Italy. For the three-months ended March 31, 2026, cash flow from operating activities was €75.5 million and cash used for the purchase of property, plant, and equipment, and intangible assets totaled €70.7 million. As a result, the Company generated €5.5 million of positive free cash flow for the first quarter of 2026.

 

The Company believes that it has adequate liquidity to fund its strategic priorities over at least the next twelve months through a combination of cash on hand, cash generated from operations, available credit lines, and the ability to access additional financing.

(1) During the three months ended March 31, 2026, and the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Group recorded €1.8 million and €0.8 million, respectively, of start-up costs for the new plants in Fishers, Indiana, United States, and in Latina, Italy. These costs are primarily related to labor costs for training and travel of personnel who are in the learning and development phase and not active in the manufacturing of products.

(2) During the three months ended March 31, 2026, and the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Group recorded €0.3 million and €1.3 million, respectively, of restructuring and related charges among cost of sales, and general and administrative expenses. These charges mainly relate to (i) employee costs arising from the reorganization of certain business functions across the Group and (ii) employee costs associated with a business reorganization and optimization plan in Denmark.

(3) The income tax adjustment is calculated by multiplying the applicable nominal tax rate to the adjusting items.
