MER ended 2025 with almost flat revenue, but with better profitability, a heavier defense backlog, and a reopened balance sheet after a sharp drop in net financial debt.
MER's military technologies are already large enough to move the story, but not yet large or stable enough to change the business profile on their own. The real economic shift currently comes from the broader defense stack, especially together with homeland security.
MER improved its defense mix and geographic balance in 2025, but the real revenue base became more concentrated because two foreign customers rose to 45.3% of sales while customer balances remained tied to a small number of large counterparties.
In 2025 MER converted more than all of its net profit into cash, but most of the improvement came from lower contract assets and non-cash adjustments while inventory still grew.
