The financial year 2024 marked a pivotal period for Landis+Gyr and our industry in many aspects. We launched a strategic transformation last fall, a new and dedicated leadership team is driving this transformation, and our industry is undergoing profound changes. Against the backdrop of unprecedented global electrification, increased energy demand, and the accelerating transition to renewable energy, Landis+Gyr remains steadfastly positioned at the forefront of integrated energy management solutions. Our innovative technology, robust business model, and dedicated teams have driven exceptional achievements and laid a solid foundation for sustainable growth and value creation. Our integrated edge-to-enterprise solutions remain pivotal in enabling utilities and consumers worldwide to manage resources efficiently and advance the critical transition to decarbonized grids.

Strategic Realignment in Progress

Amid a fast-evolving energy landscape, the Board of Directors of Landis+Gyr initiated a focused strategic realignment in October 2024, aimed at unlocking greater value for all stakeholders and ensuring that each part of the business is optimally positioned for long-term success.

We are strategically focused on the Americas region, our largest and most profitable market. We continue to hold a leading position in this attractive market, characterized by strong industry fundamentals, and our edge-to-enterprise solution offering is not only differentiated but increasingly seen as a critical enabler of future energy systems. Our customers value Landis+Gyr as a single-source technology partner that delivers mission-critical infrastructure, including software, communication networks, services, and sensor technologies. This strong and growing demand underscores our technological leadership and the trusted relationships we have built across the region.

Concurrently, we have diligently started to assess strategic alternatives for our business in the EMEA region, including a potential sale, to maximize value creation for all stakeholders. Unlike the Americas, EMEA is shaped by regulatory fragmentation and a preference for standardized hardware and multi-supplier setups. These market dynamics limit the full deployment of integrated solutions and create a fundamentally different opportunity set. With the divestment of our EV charging business, we are enabling our EMEA operations to focus on core metering capabilities while positioning the business for future clarity and success.

As part of our enhanced focus on the Americas region, we are working towards a US stock exchange listing in 2026. Momentum is building among US-based institutional investors who are aligned with our long-term vision and strategic direction, and who recognize the value of our portfolio and the strength of our business. This move aims to bring us closer to our core market, increase visibility, and broaden access to capital, while continuing to maintain our headquarters in Switzerland and accommodate our existing shareholders through a transitional dual listing.

Throughout this transformation, our unwavering commitment to customer success remains at the core of our strategy. We are ensuring continuity across the organization while maintaining the trusted partnerships we have built over time. Guided by innovation, operational excellence, and a strong sustainability ethos, we continue to deliver cutting-edge technologies and solutions that empower our customers and end users alike.

Financial Year 2024 Results

FY 2024 was marked by strong commercial momentum, underscoring the resilience of our business model and effectiveness of our strategic initiatives. We are pleased to report a very strong order intake of USD 2.6 billion, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 1.5. This success was driven by key wins in the Americas and Asia Pacific, alongside a solid performance in EMEA. Many of these wins centered on our leading grid edge technology and software capabilities. Our order backlog reached a record high of USD 4.6 billion, providing strong visibility and a solid foundation for growth in FY 2025 and beyond.

In FY 2024, net revenue declined by 10.5% in constant currency to USD 1,729.3 million from the record level in the previous year and was mainly driven by the non-recurrence of pent-up demand realization in FY 2023. The Adjusted EBITDA in FY 2024 was USD 170.9 million, a decrease of 25.7% compared to FY 2023, mainly attributable to reduced operating leverage and a one-time inventory obsolescence in the Americas region. Excluding two one-off impacts, the Adjusted EBITDA margin came in at 10.4%. The net loss from continuing operations for FY 2024 was USD (84.7) million or USD (2.97) per share, including a goodwill impairment for the EV business of USD 111.0 million.

Cash flow from operating activities was USD 78.9 million in FY 2024 (versus USD 121.2 million in FY 2023), driven by lower profitability and higher operating working capital. As of March 31, 2025, the ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA was 1.07 times, with net debt of USD 182.9 million.

To preserve balance sheet strength and maximize operational flexibility, the Board of Directors decided to temporarily pause the dividend policy and is proposing a reduced distribution of CHF 1.15 per share which will be paid out entirely from statutory capital reserves.

Outlook for FY 2025

We expect a net revenue growth of between 5% and 8% in FY 2025. As a result of the expected revenue growth and operational efficiency initiatives, the Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be between 10.5% and 12.0% of net revenue for FY 2025. We are confident in our ability to manage tariff-related costs and at present expect them to have a minimal impact in 2025. We also aim to return to a progressive dividend policy in FY 2025. Our solid balance sheet positions Landis+Gyr robustly for sustained investment and long-term profitable growth.

Powering Progress Through Innovation

Innovation remains at the core of Landis+Gyr’s strategy as we drive the digital transformation of the energy sector. In FY 2024, we invested 9.7% of our net revenue into R&D, underscoring our commitment to advancing technologies that empower utilities and consumers to manage energy more efficiently and sustainably.

We continued to enhance our technology portfolio with intelligent, flexible solutions that reinforce our leadership in the global energy transition. Strategic partnerships play a critical role in this journey: together with OATI, we launched Landis+Gyr DERMS, Powered by OATI, an integrated platform that allows utilities to seamlessly orchestrate distributed energy resources, such as EVs, solar, and battery storage, across all customer segments.

Meanwhile, our expanded collaboration with SPAN led to the introduction of SPAN Edge, a breakthrough behind-the-meter technology that transforms homes into intelligent, responsive grid assets, providing real-time visibility and control while unlocking load flexibility at scale.

These advancements, alongside our ongoing development of cloud-based SaaS platforms, advanced analytics, and integrated flexibility management, form a comprehensive ecosystem that not only meets evolving customer needs but also contributes meaningfully to global decarbonization and energy resilience goals.

Decarbonizing for Tomorrow

Sustainability is deeply embedded within Landis+Gyr’s long-term strategy and operations, reflecting our ongoing commitment to decarbonizing grids and promoting sustainable practices internally and externally. FY 2024 was particularly notable as we achieved significant milestones aligned with our ambitious Science-Based Targets. Our installed smart meters enabled the avoidance of approximately 9 million tons of CO₂ emissions, significantly surpassing our own operational footprint.

Across the Group, we increased our renewable electricity usage to 96%, marking a considerable advance toward our goal of achieving 100% renewable electricity consumption by FY 2025. Notably, we have already reduced our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 67% from the FY 2021 baseline, driven by improved efficiency, electrification of our vehicle fleet, and enhanced renewable energy sourcing.

These efforts have been externally recognized with prestigious awards, including the EcoVadis Platinum medal, placing us among the top 1% of companies assessed globally. Additionally, our membership in the Responsible Business Alliance underscores our commitment to sustainable and responsible business practices throughout our supply chain. Our core purpose remains clear: partnering with our stakeholders to manage energy better and accelerate our collective journey toward decarbonization.

Changes in Executive Management and Board of Directors

At the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Shareholders in June 2025, several changes to the Board of Directors will be proposed in alignment with the Company’s strategic direction.

This letter marks a moment of transition for both of us as we reflect on our roles within Landis+Gyr and look ahead to the next chapter of the Company’s journey.

Peter Mainz has decided not to seek re-election to the Board of Directors in order to focus fully on his responsibilities as Chief Executive Officer during this pivotal phase of strategic transformation. With a strong leadership team in place and a clear direction ahead, this step reflects our commitment to operational focus and effective execution.

After more than 25 years of close involvement with Landis+Gyr, including the past eight years as Chair of the Board, Andreas Umbach has also decided not to stand for re-election at the upcoming AGM in June 2025. “It has been an extraordinary privilege to serve this Company and witness its evolution into a technology leader in intelligent energy management solutions. What has always set Landis+Gyr apart is its deep sense of purpose and the enduring trust of its customers, partners, employees, and shareholders. That spirit will remain its strongest asset moving forward.”

To ensure continued leadership aligned with our strategic direction, the Board will propose Audrey Zibelman – currently Vice-Chair and a US citizen – for election as the new Chair. With a distinguished track record in both utility operations and regulatory affairs, and deep knowledge of global energy markets, she is ideally positioned to guide Landis+Gyr into its next chapter.

The Board of Directors will propose Steve Louden and Brett Carter, both US citizens, for election as new members of the Board of Directors at the next AGM. Steve and Brett bring extensive financial and industry experience and valuable perspectives that align with our strategic priorities, especially our enhanced focus on the Americas region and our future US listing.

We remain deeply committed to the continued success of Landis+Gyr and are confident that these changes will support the Company’s long-term value creation and sustained leadership in a rapidly transforming energy landscape.
