While the MBE equipment specialist for the semiconductor industry saw its revenue edge down 2.1% to 40.3 million euros last year, all other line items showed improvement.
Gross margin rose from 14.8% to 15.6%, recurring operating income grew by 13.5% to 5.1 million euros, and operating income increased by 16.6% to 5.1 million euros. Finally, net profit surged 27.1%, climbing from 4.1 to 5.2 million euros.
Riber explained that last year's environment was driven by sustained demand for advanced semiconductor materials for applications related to artificial intelligence and data transmission. The group recorded solid activity in its production systems and the initial results from the deployment of ROSIE (Riber Oxide on Silicon Epitaxy), a disruptive technology in silicon-integrated photonics.
The company stated it had met its revenue targets and achieved "a significant improvement in its results compared to the previous fiscal year."
In detail, the gross margin benefited from a favorable price-product mix effect, while recurring operating income was bolstered by the combined effect of steady business activity and controlled operating expenses.
For the current fiscal year, Riber has observed an acceleration in global investment in artificial intelligence, data infrastructure, and quantum technologies. The rise of silicon-integrated photonics is opening a new cycle of innovation and investment, and the group's ROSIE platform represents an inflection point, with the first orders recorded in 2025 and a gradual ramp-up expected in the coming years.
The group also intends to reach a new milestone in 2026 with ROSIE 2, a cluster-based, dual-chamber version.
Given these favorable factors, Riber enters the 2026 fiscal year with growth prospects, subject to obtaining the necessary licenses to realize the opportunities identified across its operations and services.
Riber specializes in the design, manufacturing, and marketing of molecular jet epitaxy systems (MBE), evaporation sources, and cells for the component semiconductor industry. These high-tech materials are essential for producing composite semi-conductor materials and new materials used in many general public applications, including new information technologies, OLED flat screens, and new generations of solar cells.
