Signify, the world leader in lighting, today announced the company’s second quarter 2025 results.

"The momentum in our business continued through the second quarter, with comparable sales growth in both the Professional and Consumer businesses. The comparable sales decline of 1.4% reflects a topline growth of 0.8%, excluding the Conventional business. The return to growth in the Professional business was led by strong performance in North America and connected lighting sales. The Consumer business delivered its third consecutive quarter of growth, driven by robust demand for our connected home products. Connected and specialty lighting now represent over a third of our total sales, underscoring the importance and impact of our strategy.

Our gross margin remained strong, supported by disciplined price and cost management, as our teams continued to demonstrate their agility in navigating a volatile external environment. While we are encouraged by these developments, our adjusted EBITA performance was impacted by higher cost absorption in some parts of the business with stronger headwinds, and re-investments to drive growth.

With a robust plan in place to secure an operational performance that maintains our positive sales momentum and effectively manages cost through the second half, we confirm our guidance of low single digit growth excluding the Conventional business and a free cash flow of 7 - 8% of sales, and add a range to our EBITA margin guidance of 9.6 - 9.9%." said Željko Kosanović, CFO and interim CEO of Signify.
