Solutiance AG Elevator Pitch PresentationIn this Elevator Pitch on seat11a, Jonas Enderlein, CEO of Solutiance AG, explains how the company combines technology and physical services to digitalise facility management for owners and operators of real estate portfolios.Digitalising Traditional Facility ManagementSolutiance addresses a structural weakness in traditional facility management: services and software are typically separated. Conventional service providers perform the required work on site, but analogue processes can result in inefficient workflows, inconsistent service quality and insufficient data. Standalone software can provide a better technological foundation, but requires implementation, training and upfront investment while still depending on users to maintain complete and accurate information.Smartsourcing Model and Facility Scanner PlatformSolutiance combines these two worlds through its Smartsourcing model. Its own employees and external service providers work within digital processes supported by Solutiance's technology and, increasingly, artificial intelligence. At the centre is the company's Facility Scanner platform, which coordinates workflows and captures the information generated during service delivery.Digital Twin Technology for Real Estate PortfoliosAs work is performed, Solutiance creates a digital twin of the building for the relevant trade. Property owners therefore receive both the physical service and a continuously developing digital data foundation. This allows customers to monitor service delivery, access asset information and make decisions based on portfolio data rather than relying primarily on manual reporting or incomplete information.Recurring Revenue and Subscription-Based ServicesThe commercial model combines an initial onboarding fee for creating the digital twin with subsequent subscription-based services. According to management, this means that the majority of Solutiance's revenue is either recurring or returning. Every service performed also leaves a digital trace within Facility Scanner, potentially strengthening the data foundation and customer relationship over time.Scalable Technology Platform and Artificial IntelligenceThe model is designed to be highly scalable. As Solutiance adds services, it can use the existing technology infrastructure, digital processes, property data and service network across a broader part of the customer's building portfolio. AI provides another potential efficiency lever as more workflows become automated or digitally supported.Long-Term Vision for Full-Service Property CoverageThe company's longer-term vision is particularly important to the equity story: Solutiance intends to continuously expand its service portfolio until it can provide full-service property coverage, effectively enabling customers to operate complete buildings through Solutiance's technology and service ecosystem.▶️ Other videos:Elevator Pitch: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-elevator-pitch/Company Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-company-presentation/Deep Dive Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-deep-dive/Financial Results Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-financial-results/ESG Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-esg/T&CThis publication is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice. By using seat11a.com, you agree to our terms and conditions outlined on www.seat11a.com/legal and www.seat11a.com/imprint.

BRAIN Biotech AG 9M 2025/26: Key TakeawaysIn this Financial Results presentation on seat11a, Michael Schneiders, CFO of BRAIN Biotech AG, presents the company's 9M FY 2025/26 Financial Results and discusses the performance of BRAINBiocatalysts and BRAINBioIncubator, profitability, cash flow, financing, the upcoming CEO transition and the updated full-year outlook.9M FY 2025/26 Revenue and Segment PerformanceBRAIN Biotech generated revenue of €34.6 million during the first nine months of FY 2025/26, representing a decline of 10.5% year-on-year. The development primarily reflects weaker performance in BRAINBiocatalysts, where revenue declined 13.3% to €30.8 million. BRAINBioIncubator developed in the opposite direction, increasing revenue 21% to €3.9 million as the company continued to realise value from its innovation portfolio.BRAINBiocatalysts and Enzyme Business DevelopmentDuring Q3, BRAINBiocatalysts revenue was sequentially stable compared with Q2 but remained below the prior-year period. Management attributes the weaker development to a high comparison base, subdued demand for baking enzymes and initial operational challenges at the new Netherlands production facility. The enzyme-related contract research business, however, remained solid and is expected to continue performing well through the remainder of the financial year.Adjusted EBITDA and BRAINBioIncubator MilestonesAdjusted Group EBITDA amounted to minus €0.7 million for the nine-month period. Management continues to focus on cost control, including lower headcount, while BRAINBioIncubator milestone income is increasingly contributing to Group performance. The BioIncubator recorded a €1 million Pharvaris-related milestone during the first nine months, with another €1 million expected to be recognised in Q4. The FDA acceptance of the NDA for deucrictibant represents another important development within the portfolio.Financing, Cash Flow and Netherlands Production InvestmentThe Group has also strengthened its financing position. BRAIN secured a €9 million revolving credit line, while an additional €11.51 million Royalty Pharma milestone was received in Q4. Operating cash flow improved substantially year-on-year to minus €3.6 million, while investment in the new Netherlands production site was largely completed during Q3.CEO Transition to Dr. Sven K. WeberBRAIN is simultaneously preparing for a management transition. Dr. Sven K. Weber will become CEO on 1 October 2026, succeeding Adriaan Moelker. Weber brings significant experience in enzymes and will take over as BRAIN continues to pursue its long-term strategy of profitable specialty-enzyme growth and its ambition to become one of the world's top-ten global enzyme companies.Updated FY 2025/26 GuidanceFollowing the weaker development of BRAINBiocatalysts, management adjusted its FY 2025/26 segment guidance. Biocatalysts revenue is now expected to be below the previous financial year's level and the adjusted EBITDA margin below the previously anticipated level of around 10%. Conversely, BRAINBioIncubator guidance was raised, with revenue now expected at approximately €6 million and adjusted EBITDA above €1 million. Adjusted Group EBITDA is still expected to be around break-even for the full year.▶️ Other videos:Elevator Pitch: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-elevator-pitch/Company Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-company-presentation/Deep Dive Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-deep-dive/Financial Results Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-financial-results/ESG Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-esg/T&CThis publication is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice. By using seat11a.com, you agree to our terms and conditions outlined on www.seat11a.com/legal and www.seat11a.com/imprint.

eDreams ODIGEO Q1 FY2027 Financial Results PresentationIn this Financial Results presentation on seat11a, Christoph Dieterle, CFO of eDreams ODIGEO, presents the company's Q1 FY2027 Financial Results and discusses Prime subscriber growth, international and product expansion, profitability, cash generation and the company's long-term growth strategy.Prime Subscriber Growth and Q1 FY2027 PerformanceeDreams ODIGEO started FY2027 with performance ahead of market estimates, while simultaneously entering the peak investment year of its multi-year strategic roadmap. Prime added 173,000 net subscribers during the quarter, taking total membership to 8.1 million, an increase of 8% year-on-year. The company remains on track to reach its FY2027 target of 8.5 million Prime members.Prime Subscription Business as the Economic CorePrime has become the economic core of eDreams ODIGEO. The subscription business now generates approximately 90% of Cash Marginal Profit and 77% of revenue, with Prime revenue reaching €128.4 million during the quarter. Total Revenue Margin amounted to €165.5 million.International Expansion and Product DiversificationThe company is increasingly diversifying beyond its traditional European flight business. Revenue from markets outside eDreams ODIGEO's core European base increased 5% and now represents 27% of total revenue, up from 24% a year earlier. Product diversification is also progressing, with rail already accounting for a double-digit share of new Prime members in Spain, the company's most advanced rail market.Adjusted EBITDA, Cash EBITDA and Strategic InvestmentsFinancial performance during the quarter reflects eDreams ODIGEO's deliberate investment strategy. Adjusted EBITDA was €28.9 million and Cash EBITDA €23.0 million, both ahead of market estimates according to the company. The lower year-on-year profitability reflects planned investment in acquiring new members, entering additional geographies and expanding Prime across new travel verticals. Management expects these investments to support significantly higher growth from FY2028 onwards.Cash Generation, Liquidity and Share Buyback ProgrammeThe business continues to generate sufficient cash to finance this expansion internally. Cash and cash equivalents increased to €73.0 million, total liquidity reached €237.1 million, and net financial debt improved year-on-year. At the same time, the company continues its shareholder remuneration programme, with approximately €38 million already repurchased under its €100 million buyback programme.FY2027 Prime Subscriber and EBITDA TargetsFor FY2027, eDreams ODIGEO targets 600,000 net Prime additions, 8.5 million members, €167 million of Adjusted EBITDA before investments and €115 million of Cash EBITDA after investments. Cash EBITDA growth is expected to resume from Q4 FY2027.2030 Strategy for a Global Multi-Product Travel Subscription PlatformThe longer-term ambition is substantially larger. By March 2030, eDreams ODIGEO aims to transform Prime into a truly global, multi-product travel subscription platform with 13 million members and more than €270 million in Cash EBITDA. ..read more on https://seat11a.com/company/edreams-odigeo-financial-results-q1-2026/▶️ Other videos:Elevator Pitch: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-elevator-pitch/Company Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-company-presentation/Deep Dive Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-deep-dive/Financial Results Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-financial-results/ESG Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-esg/T&CThis publication is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.

Can you give me an elevator pitch about yourself?That is one of the first things they teach you in sales: the elevator pitch.Imagine that you step into an elevator with the one prospect who can change your business. The doors close. You have fifteen seconds before the ding, the doors open, and your future walks out.What do you say?Most salespeople panic and begin reciting the corporate brochure.“We are a vertically integrated, customer-centric provider of scalable, best-in-class solutions...”By the third buzzword, the prospect is trying to pry open the elevator doors between floors.You do not have fifteen seconds to explain everything. You have fifteen seconds to make somebody care.So here is a better question: Do you have a message?Not a slogan somebody printed on a coffee mug. Not a bumper sticker. Not a paragraph you memorized from a candidate's website.Do you have a voice?Do you respect yourself enough to know what you believe—and to make sure the people in your life know it too?I am not asking whether you can address a stadium. I am asking whether you can address your son. Your daughter. Your neighbor. The fellow in the break room who says something absolutely ridiculous and then looks around because he expects everybody else to nod.Can you explain what you stand for before political small talk becomes political hostage-taking?Conservatives should have the best elevator pitch in America. We have the best product.We believe your life belongs to you—not to Washington, not to a bureaucrat, not to a grievance merchant, and certainly not to a blue-haired woman with a sociology degree and a clipboard.We believe freedom requires responsibility; rights come with duties; families matter; fathers matter; mothers matter; children are gifts to be protected, not raw material for somebody else's ideology.We believe work has dignity, merit should matter, criminals should fear the law more than law-abiding people do, and America—while imperfect—is worth defending, improving, and passing intact to the next generation.That is the conservative elevator pitch:Your life is yours. Build it. Protect your family. Earn what you can. Help whom you can. Respect the law. Tell the truth. And leave your children more freedom than you inherited.

The performance was supported by continued growth across several of the Group's strategic markets, including Defense with 32% growth, Software with 16% and Transportation with 11%.Record Order Backlog and Strong Book-to-Bill RatioOrder momentum remained particularly strong. Kontron achieved a book-to-bill ratio of 1.55, while its backlog reached a record €2.75 billion. The presentation illustrates the scale of this development: backlog has increased consistently from approximately €804 million in 2020 to €1.46 billion in 2022, €2.08 billion in 2024, €2.50 billion in 2025 and approximately €2.75 billion in 2026.High Revenue Visibility for 2026Revenue visibility for 2026 is also high. The company generated €737 million of revenue during the first half, complemented by approximately €875 million of open backlog scheduled for the remainder of 2026. Together, this represents approximately €1.61 billion and, according to management, provides full coverage of the company's 2026 revenue expectations.Defense, Software and Transportation GrowthDefense continues to develop into an increasingly important growth market for Kontron. The company expects Defense revenue to exceed €200 million in 2026, while Software and Transportation are also delivering double-digit growth. Recent Transportation wins include major railway projects across several European markets, reinforcing the Group's position in mission-critical infrastructure technology.GreenTec Restructuring and Cost SavingsKontron is also progressing with the restructuring of its GreenTec business. The program is expected to deliver approximately €30 million in run-rate savings, with 424 FTE reductions already implemented out of the targeted 500. These measures are designed to structurally improve profitability and concentrate resources on higher-growth technology markets.5G Automotive Connectivity and Ennoconn/Foxconn PartnershipIn automotive connectivity, Kontron secured its first European OEM customer for 5G NAD modules manufactured in Germany, adding another growth opportunity within next-generation connected mobility. At the same time, the strategic partnership with Ennoconn/Foxconn is expected to generate approximately €40 million of annual synergies over the coming years.Improving Profitability and Long-Term Growth DriversOverall, Kontron's H1 2026 results demonstrate a combination of improving profitability, strong order intake and increasing exposure to higher-growth markets. The record backlog provides substantial revenue visibility, while Defense, Software, Transportation, restructuring savings and strategic partnerships provide additional drivers for the Group's development.▶️ Other videos:Elevator Pitch: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-elevator-pitch/Company Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-company-presentation/Deep Dive Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-deep-dive/Financial Results Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-financial-results/ESG Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-esg/T&CThis publication is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.

BRAIN Biotech AG Company Presentation: Key TakeawaysBRAIN Biotech AG Company PresentationIn this Company Presentation on seat11a, Michael Schneiders, CFO of BRAIN Biotech AG, presents the company's business model, biotechnology platform, growth opportunities and long-term strategy to become one of the world's leading specialty enzyme companies.Industrial Biotechnology and Specialty Enzyme SolutionsBRAIN Biotech is an industrial biotechnology company developing specialty enzymes, microorganisms and biological solutions for applications across food, life sciences and industrial markets. The company uses cells, microorganisms and biomolecules to develop biological processes that can operate under milder conditions, use renewable raw materials and reduce waste and emissions compared with conventional industrial processes.BRAINBiocatalysts and BRAINBioIncubatorThe company operates through two complementary pillars. BRAINBiocatalysts comprises the core specialty enzyme business, while BRAINBioIncubator contains selected high-innovation projects and participations with additional commercialisation potential. In FY 2024/25, BRAIN generated approximately €45.4 million in annual revenue and €4.4 million in adjusted EBITDA, complemented by approximately €4.2 million of recurring revenues.Integrated Enzyme Value Chain and Biotechnology PlatformA key strength is BRAIN's position across the entire enzyme value chain. Its capabilities extend from biological discovery, protein engineering and microbial strain development through fermentation, scale-up and industrial production to formulation, sales and distribution. BRAIN combines these capabilities across three business models: proprietary enzyme products and ingredients, contract research and contract manufacturing. This integrated structure enables the company to provide customised biological solutions while developing long-term relationships with industrial customers.Global Industrial Enzyme Market and Growth OpportunitiesThe market opportunity is substantial. BRAIN estimates that the global market for industrial enzyme applications will expand by around 6–7% annually through 2030/2035, supported by structural trends including sustainability, resilience, changing food consumption and new pharmaceutical applications. Within BRAINBiocatalysts alone, management identifies more than €2 billion in accessible enzyme markets across applications including dairy, baking, brewing, fruit juice and wine, starch processing, life sciences and other specialties. Current BRAIN market shares remain mostly in the single digits, providing significant room for expansion.BRAINBioIncubator and Biotechnology Innovation ProjectsThe second pillar, BRAINBioIncubator, provides additional value creation opportunities from breakthrough biotechnology projects. Its portfolio spans areas including fermented food and beverages, biological gold recovery, natural antimicrobials, chronic wound treatment, genome-editing technologies and pharmaceutical royalties. Management is increasingly partnering these projects with specialised external companies to share development costs, reduce risk and accelerate commercialisation.▶️ Other videos:Elevator Pitch: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-elevator-pitch/Company Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-company-presentation/Deep Dive Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-deep-dive/Financial Results Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-financial-results/ESG Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-esg/T&CThis publication is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice. Using this website, you agree to our terms and conditions outlined on www.seat11a.com/legal and www.seat11a.com/imprint.

Wusstest du, dass viele attraktive Stellen nie auf LinkedIn, Indeed oder einer Unternehmenswebsite erscheinen?Genau darum geht es in dieser Folge: um den verdeckten Stellenmarkt – und darum, wie du Zugang zu Jobs bekommst, von denen andere Bewerber überhaupt nichts wissen.Ich erlebe in meinen Coachings immer wieder, dass Menschen monatelang Stellenanzeigen durchsuchen und Bewerbung um Bewerbung verschicken. Dabei konkurrieren sie teilweise mit 100, 200 oder 300 anderen Bewerbern.Doch es geht auch anders.Ich erzähle dir von einer Kundin, die unbedingt ins Consulting wollte. Statt Stellenanzeigen zu durchsuchen, habe ich sie mit einem Kontakt aus meinem Netzwerk verbunden. Ein Mittagessen und einige Gespräche später hatte sie ihren Arbeitsvertrag – für eine Stelle, die nie ausgeschrieben war.In dieser Folge erfährst du:warum Unternehmen viele Stellen gar nicht erst ausschreibenweshalb persönliche Empfehlungen so wertvoll sindwarum KMUs besonders spannend für den verdeckten Stellenmarkt sindweshalb dein bestehendes Netzwerk größer ist, als du denkstwie du neue Kontakte aufbaust, ohne direkt nach einem Job zu fragenwelche Rolle Mentoren und Sponsoren spielenwie du deinen Elevator-Pitch für die Jobsuche nutztwarum LinkedIn einer der wichtigsten digitalen Zugänge zum verdeckten Stellenmarkt istwie du mit wenigen Minuten täglich deine Sichtbarkeit erhöhen kannstIch zeige dir dafür drei konkrete Kanäle: neue persönliche Kontakte, dein bestehendes Netzwerk und deine Online-Präsenz.Und nein: Netzwerken bedeutet nicht, wildfremde Menschen anzuschreiben und sofort zu fragen: „Haben Sie einen Job für mich?“Es geht darum, Beziehungen aufzubauen, sichtbar zu werden und dafür zu sorgen, dass Menschen wissen, wer du bist, was du kannst und wohin du möchtest.Denn manchmal kommt der entscheidende Kontakt aus einer Richtung, mit der du niemals gerechnet hättest. Eine meiner Kundinnen bekam beispielsweise ein Vorstellungsgespräch über ihre Friseurin.Die Botschaft dieser Folge:Hör auf, deine Jobsuche auf Stellenanzeigen zu beschränken.Die vielleicht beste Stelle für dich ist möglicherweise gerade nirgendwo ausgeschrieben. Du musst nur dafür sorgen, dass die richtigen Menschen wissen, dass es dich gibt.Befindest du dich in einer beruflichen Sackgasse und bist bereit, aktiv an deiner Karriere zu arbeiten? Dann bist du hier genau richtig.Vielleicht strebst du nach mehr Verantwortung, einem höheren Gehalt oder einem Job, der besser zu dir passt.Nutze den folgenden Link, um dein kostenloses Erstgespräch zu vereinbaren:https://karriereweg.com/bewerbungFolge mir auf meinen Social-Media-Kanälen für wertvolle Tipps und Einblicke:➡️ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katrin_newidentity?igsh=ajBtbnAwN294OWRy&utm_source=qr➡️ LinkedIn: https://ch.linkedin.com/in/katrin-moser-karriereexpertin➡️ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/katrin.karriereweg/➡️ Webpage: https://karriereweg.com/

Presented by Romy Acosta, Head of Investor RelationsIn this latest financial results presentation on seat11a, Romy Acosta of JOST Werke SE presents the company's Q1 2026 financial results and provides an update on current developments across the global commercial vehicle market.Mixed Market Conditions Across Global Transport MarketsJOST operates as a leading supplier of safety-critical systems for trucks, trailers, agricultural machinery, and off-highway applications. As a globally diversified supplier to transport and logistics markets, the company remains exposed to broader developments in industrial production, freight demand, and commercial vehicle activity across key regions.During Q1 2026, market conditions remained mixed across different geographies and customer groups. Demand trends in truck and trailer markets continued to reflect ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty, while agricultural and off-highway markets developed differently across regions.Against this backdrop, JOST continued to focus on operational discipline, efficiency measures, and maintaining profitability through the cycle.Diversified Business Model Supports ResilienceA key theme of the quarter remains the company's ability to balance cyclical market fluctuations through its diversified business model and broad product portfolio.JOST's portfolio spans multiple commercial vehicle and industrial applications, including truck and trailer systems, agricultural components, and off-highway technologies. This diversification continues to support resilience across varying regional and sector-specific demand environments.The company also benefits from its broad international footprint across Europe, North America, and Asia, as well as long-standing relationships with OEM customers and aftermarket partners.Operational Discipline and Efficiency Measures Remain a PriorityIn the current environment, management continues to prioritize operational execution, cost efficiency, and disciplined resource allocation. JOST remains focused on protecting profitability and maintaining flexibility while navigating cyclical fluctuations in global transport and industrial markets.Supply chain management, production flexibility, and operational efficiency programs remain important levers in balancing market volatility and supporting stable financial performance.Innovation and Long-Term Product DevelopmentAlongside short-term operational priorities, JOST continues to invest in innovation and long-term product development. The company remains focused on safety-critical technologies, efficiency-enhancing systems, and solutions aligned with evolving transport and logistics requirements.Electrification, digital integration, and efficiency improvements across commercial vehicle systems continue to shape the long-term strategic direction of the business.Investor PerspectiveFor investors, the key focus remains on developments in global truck production, trailer demand, freight activity, and broader transport market trends, all of which continue to influence the operating environment for the company.JOST's investment case continues to center around its diversified market exposure, resilient business model, operational discipline, and positioning within global transport and logistics supply chains.▶️ Other videos:Elevator Pitch: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-elevator-pitch/Company Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-company-presentation/Deep Dive Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-deep-dive/Financial Results Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-financial-results/ESG Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-esg/T&CThis publication is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.

JOST Werke SE Elevator Pitch PresentationIn this Elevator Pitch on seat11a, Romy Acosta, Head of Investor Relations at JOST Werke SE, presents the company's business model, competitive positioning, global footprint and long-term growth ambitions.Mission-Critical Systems for the Commercial Vehicle IndustryJOST is a global supplier of mission-critical systems for the commercial vehicle industry, serving on-highway transportation as well as off-highway applications across agriculture, construction and mining. Its portfolio includes fifth wheels, landing gears, front loaders, hydraulic cylinders and tipping systems—products that directly influence how commercial vehicles perform their intended functions.Strong Relationships with OEMs and End CustomersAn important feature of JOST's business model is its relationship with the end customer. While products are frequently sold through vehicle manufacturers, fleet operators, farmers and other end users often actively specify which branded systems should be installed. This creates a strong push-and-pull sales model between JOST, OEMs, distributors and end users.High Barriers to Entry Through Brand, Reliability and Installed BaseThe combination of brand recognition, reliability, a large installed base and close technological integration with OEM platforms creates high barriers to entry. Customers frequently standardise their fleets around specific systems to simplify spare-parts availability, maintenance and training. At the same time, the cost of JOST's components is relatively small compared with the value of the commercial vehicle, while a component failure can prevent the vehicle from performing its core function and create substantial downtime costs.Global Market Leadership Across Core Product CategoriesThese characteristics have contributed to highly concentrated markets. Management states that JOST holds the number-one position in almost all regions for several core product categories, including fifth wheels, landing gears, tipping systems and front loaders.JOST Werke Financial Performance and Global FootprintIn 2025, JOST generated approximately €1.5 billion in revenue, a gross profit margin of 27.7%, adjusted EBIT of around €145 million, an adjusted EBIT margin of 9.5%, and free cash flow of approximately €126 million. The Group employs around 6,500 people and has production facilities and sales offices in more than 35 countries.Diversification Across On-Highway, Off-Highway and AftermarketThe business is also broadly diversified. Around half of sales come from on-highway transportation and half from off-highway markets. Its revenues are distributed across EMEA, the Americas and APAC, while approximately 28% of Group sales are generated through the aftermarket and spare-parts business. Customer concentration is particularly low, with no individual customer accounting for more than 4% of revenue.AMBITION 2030 Growth and Profitability TargetsJOST is now pursuing further growth across its existing and newer product categories. In the first half of 2026, the company achieved 9% organic growth, while its longer-term ambitions target more than €2 billion in revenue by 2030, adjusted earnings per share above €10, and an adjusted EBIT margin within a 10–12% corridor.▶️ Other videos:Elevator Pitch: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-elevator-pitch/Company Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-company-presentation/Deep Dive Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-deep-dive/Financial Results Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-financial-results/ESG Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-esg/T&CThis publication is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.

Hypoport SE First Half 2026 Financial Results PresentationIn this financial results presentation on seat11a, Ronald Slabke, CEO of Hypoport SE, presents the company's First Half 2026 Financial Results and discusses profitable growth across the Group's Real Estate & Mortgage, Financing and Insurance platforms, continued market share gains, the development of Europace and WOWIPORT, artificial intelligence and the outlook for 2026.First Half 2026 Financial Performance and Profitable GrowthHypoport delivered a solid first half despite subdued economic conditions and geopolitical volatility. Revenue increased 5% to €319 million, while gross profit rose 5% to €138 million. Profitability developed significantly faster, with EBIT increasing 20% to €19.3 million and the EBIT margin on gross profit improving from 12% to 14%. All three operating segments contributed to gross profit growth.Real Estate & Mortgage Platforms and Market Share GainsThe Real Estate & Mortgage Platforms segment generated gross profit of €85 million, up 4%, and EBIT of €23.9 million. Hypoport continued to gain market share in mortgage financing, particularly among regional banks, despite an overall contracting market. At the same time, VALUE AG continued its progress towards profitability, recording only a small loss of less than €0.5 million during the first half.German Housing Market and Europace Mortgage PlatformDevelopments in the German housing market remained mixed. Mortgage rates stayed elevated, while the supply of properties for sale continued to increase and rental supply remained constrained. On Europace, purchases remained the largest source of mortgage volume, while financing for new construction continued its recovery. Management views the structural shift from Germany's increasingly constrained rental market towards home ownership as an important long-term driver of mortgage demand.Financing Platforms and WOWIPORT GrowthThe Financing Platforms segment increased gross profit by 5% to €34 million, while EBIT rose 35% to €2.4 million. The WOWIPORT platform continued its rapid expansion, with ERP units under contract increasing 29% to 734,000. Hypoport continued investing heavily in WOWIPORT and its personal-loans platform while simultaneously improving segment profitability.Insurance Platforms Return to ProfitabilityThe Insurance Platforms segment also improved significantly, with gross profit increasing 10% to €17 million and EBIT reaching a positive €1.1 million, compared with a loss in the prior-year period. Growing digitalisation requirements and consolidation within insurance distribution continue to support demand for platform-based solutions.Artificial Intelligence and the Future of EuropaceAnother central theme is artificial intelligence. Hypoport is investing in AI capabilities across its platforms and sees Europace increasingly developing into an integration infrastructure connecting consumers and advisers with specialised AI, generative LLMs, brokers, banks and hundreds of financial product providers. This forms part of the company's longer-term strategy to further digitalise the German mortgage value chain.▶️ Other videos:Elevator Pitch: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-elevator-pitch/Company Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-company-presentation/Deep Dive Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-deep-dive/Financial Results Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-financial-results/ESG Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-esg/T&CThis publication is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.

A brochure anyone can read out loud is not a sales asset, it is a crutch. In this episode of Content Amplified, Jason Gwilliam returns to explain why the conversation closes the deal and content exists to back it up. Jason walks through the "scrub sink story," the 30 seconds outside an operating room where a rep has to land three points and then leave something behind. He explains the difference between a rep who is comfortable and a rep who is ready, why he sends people back out the door if they cannot answer the how, the why, and the what from Simon Sinek's Start with Why, and how the 10,000 hour rule from Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers shows up in sales the same way it shows up in film study and rehearsal. He also gets specific about AI as game film: what he learned running video coaching back in 2018, how to program a tool to measure cadence and filler words, and why coaching only works when weakness is not punished. Listen if your team has plenty of collateral and still loses the room.About JasonJason Gwilliam has spent 21 years in the healthcare and medical device space and has been a sales enablement practitioner and architect since 2008. He has sold for large companies including Philips, Abbott, and Siemens, and he makes the point that real enablement in med tech requires carrying a bag yourself so you understand what the field actually faces. He lives in King of Prussia, outside Philadelphia, and writes a notebook series on LinkedIn built around one idea: selling in 2005 is not the same as selling in 2026. This is his second appearance on the show.Show NotesConnect with Jason on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jgwilliam1974/Start with Why by Simon SinekOutliers by Malcolm Gladwell (the 10,000 hour rule)"The Art of the Elevator Pitch," Harvard Business ReviewThe Challenger Sale research on what customers want: insight and differentiationText us what you think about this episode!

Wacker Chemie AG Q1 2026: Key TakeawaysWACKER Chemie AG First Half 2026 Financial Results PresentationIn this financial results presentation on seat11a, Jörg Hoffmann, Head of Investor Relations at WACKER Chemie AG, presents the company's First Half 2026 Financial Results and discusses financial performance, business segment developments, operational improvements, and the updated outlook for the year.First Half 2026 Financial PerformanceDuring the second quarter of 2026, WACKER increased sales by 7% year-on-year to €1.52 billion. Reported EBITDA rose to €211 million, while EBITDA before special effects reached €175 million, supported by higher volumes, improved pricing, and continued savings from the company's PACE efficiency program. Net income increased significantly to €350 million, primarily reflecting Siltronic-related valuation and transaction effects.Chemicals, Biosolutions and Polysilicon Business DevelopmentsThe Chemicals division delivered strong operational performance across both Silicones and Polymers. Higher volumes, price increases to offset raw material inflation, and operational improvements supported higher profitability, while Biosolutions continued to benefit from BioPharma project business and disciplined cost management. The Polysilicon business continued to benefit from strong semiconductor demand, although solar markets remained challenging due to weak pricing, Chinese overcapacity, and regulatory uncertainty in the United States.PACE Efficiency Program Driving Operational ImprovementsA major focus of the presentation is the company's PACE efficiency program, which continues to improve operational performance across the Group. Management highlighted approximately €45 million of savings achieved during the quarter and reaffirmed the long-term target of generating more than €300 million in cumulative annual savings by 2028.Strong Balance Sheet and Updated FY 2026 OutlookThe presentation also highlights WACKER's strong financial position. Liquidity remained high at €1.57 billion, shareholder equity increased to €4.18 billion, and net financial debt declined to €722 million.

Most fundraising problems aren't fundraising problems. They're board problems.Elise Woodworth — VMI alum, Air Force veteran, and author of Business Not Battle — joins Trevor to unpack why so many nonprofit boards stall out, and what to actually do about it. She came to this work through a back door (the VMI Foundation made her their first female and youngest-ever trustee), and her approach is unusual: instead of teaching EDs how to manage their boards, she teaches board members how to be effective in the first place.In this episode: the 20-minute Champion's Elevator Pitch exercise you can run at your next meeting, the four thoughtful questions that move a stuck organization forward, why Elise refuses to say the word "fundraising" with new boards, and her four-month blueprint for turning around a burned-out board.If you've ever said "I can't get my board to fundraise," this one's for you.Chapters:00:00 Intro00:55 Understanding Strength and Strategic Mindset05:45 Journey into Nonprofit Leadership11:14 Empowering Board Members14:53 Embracing Change for Growth18:37 Aligning Mission and Leadership19:19 The Champion's Elevator Pitch24:11 Transforming Fear into Invitation30:35 Passion for Nonprofit ImpactHave a question or topic you'd like us to cover?

Forty percent of prospects never make a buying decision, and the reason is rarely the competition. Rohail Khan, founder of Avant.AI and executive consultant for Corporate Visions, breaks down why the status quo is the most dangerous competitor in any sales cycle and how to defeat it.Khan draws on 25 years as a C-suite executive, including roles at Xerox and Bank of America, to explain what CEOs and CFOs actually pay attention to during a pitch and why most sales teams lose the room within the first five minutes. The conversation covers how to use earnings call transcripts to find unconsidered risks, how to escape the commodity trap by shifting from features to financial outcomes, and why "you phrasing" transfers ownership to the buyer in ways that change the entire power dynamic of a pitch.Host Sean Grady also gets into Daniel Kahneman's prospect theory, the EBITDA pivot, the value wedge, and the three deadly sins of sales messaging. Khan offers specific AI prompt strategies using tools like Perplexity and Gemini to surface insights that clients do not yet know they need.Whether you manage large accounts, prepare executive proposals, or are trying to break through to the C-suite for the first time, this conversation delivers a concrete framework for turning uncertainty into urgency.Learn more about Corporate Visions at corporatevisions.com.

Episode 2052: Michael Piperno challenges the outdated idea of rigid elevator pitches and replaces it with something far more effective: authentic, audience-focused conversations. He also explores the importance of shaping your own professional narrative, showing how thoughtful storytelling and relationship-building can help you create stronger connections, stand out, and influence others more effectively. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.michaelpiperno.com/its-time-to-kill-the-elevator-pitch/ & https://www.michaelpiperno.com/whos-telling-your-story/ Quotes to ponder: "An elevator pitch is written for one person, you. Real connections require more." "Think of storytelling as a guide, one that carefully leads others along the path to understanding, and remembering, you."

https://teachhoops.com/ Every coach has a "vision" in August, but by January, most of those visions have been buried under the weight of turnovers, injuries, and parent meetings. Communicating your vision isn't a one-time speech in a locker room; it is a continuous marketing campaign for the soul of your program. If your players can't summarize your vision in one sentence, you don't have a vision—you have a wish list. To bridge the gap between your "inner blueprint" and their "on-court execution," you must move from being a "Play-Caller" to a "Chief Storyteller." You have to make the destination so compelling that the "muck and grind" of the journey feels like a privilege. If you can't explain your program's identity in the time it takes to ride an elevator, it's too complex. Your vision should be distilled into 3-5 "Non-Negotiables." For example: "We play fast, we defend the paint, and we are the most unselfish team in the state." These aren't just words; they are the filters for every decision you make. When you sub a player out for not sprinting back in transition, you aren't "benching" them; you are protecting the vision. Consistency in enforcement is the loudest form of communication. In an era of short attention spans, your vision must be visible. This goes beyond posters. The "Wall of Standards": Instead of listing rules (which are negative), list Standards (which are aspirational). Digital Integration: Use your team's group chat or social media to highlight "Vision-Aligned" plays. If a bench player celebrates a teammate's bucket, clip that video and send it out with the caption: "This is our culture." * Graphic Clarity: Use professional-grade charts to show players their "Value Over Replacement." When they see their contribution quantified, the vision becomes a tangible reality rather than a vague concept. To communicate a vision, you must own the dictionary. You need a specific "Language of the Program." If you want to be a great rebounding team, don't just yell "Rebound!" Use a specific term like "Hit-Find-Fetch." When your players start using your terminology with each other on the floor, the vision has officially moved from your clipboard to their DNA. This is the "Echo Effect"—where the coach's voice is amplified by the players' actions. Coach's Note: "A vision is not what you say to your team; it is what your team does when you aren't in the gym. If you want to know if your vision is clear, ask your 12th man to explain the 'DNA' of the program. If they can do it, you've succeeded." While you are the architect, the players are the builders. To increase "Buy-In," try a "Vision Workshop" during the pre-season. Ask your seniors: "What do you want this team to be remembered for?" When a piece of the vision comes from the players, they will defend it far more fiercely than if it only came from you. This creates a sense of Shared Ownership that can survive a mid-season slump.

Today on The Peak Daily, we break down a proposed mega-merger that could reshape the already concentrated elevator industry — and why Canada's chronic elevator shortage and sky-high costs could get even worse. Then, we look at Canada's selection as host of a new multinational defence bank designed to unlock cheaper, long-term funding for military projects, and what it could mean for Canadian defence manufacturing. Plus, in The Big Picture: the Bank of Canada and the U.S. Fed hold rates steady, families of Tumbler Ridge victims sue OpenAI, and Uber pushes deeper into travel.

There's a growing movement to make sure colleges offer ‘degrees of value,' meaning that offerings lead to higher-paying jobs for graduates than if they hadn't gone to college. Jeff and Michael talk to a key proponent of the idea, Harrison Keller, the president of the University of North Texas and former Commissioner of Higher Education in Texas. He talks about his experiments to redesign colleges to better match their offerings to the needs of the labor market. This episode is made with support from Ascendium Education Group.

Bret is joined by the founders of Plakar - Julien Mangeard and Gilles Chehade - to nerd out over backup engineering. The kind where you're building your own file formats and cryptographic layers, not just wiring up cron jobs. We get into how Plakar deduplicates and encrypts at the source so your cloud provider never sees your keys. Also, their snapshot model has no chain dependencies, which means you can delete any backup without breaking the others. We had a fun hour of backup horror stories, ransomware pragmatism, where I'm lobbying hard for a Docker volume integration.Check out the video podcast version here: https://youtu.be/OPRK5osKQHI
