Reported metrics

Guidance from management

Management expects to achieve profitability from the Rofin acquisition in the first fiscal year despite initial integration costs, indicating confidence in the operational plan and synergies identified.

What management said

Now, I do apologize. We agreed with the seller side to not disclose details. It's not from us. It's really from Coherent side. We have to respect this. And I'm sure it will be more transparency later on. I shouldn't say it but I mean, you know our liquidity quite well. So at the closing date, you will see a peak. It would be nice if you get money but it will not be the case. So you will see a change in cash.

The geographic sales split, I would say, Europe and U.S. making 80% -- 70% to 80% and the rest in Asia, especially in Southeast Asia. We have nearly -- and so we did not take in consideration China business so far for our plan. There is a little bit but we really focused on our addressable market where we have, in our eyes, very competitive position.

What analysts pressed on

Analysts expressed concerns regarding the relatively low market share of Rofin in a growing market and the potential challenges of integrating the new business unit. Questions were raised about the competitive landscape and the impact of tariffs on future operations.
