Executive summary

  • Delivered solid first-half results for H1 2025/26 amid challenging global economic conditions, with strong cash flow and a robust balance sheet; earnings and profitability improved, supported by cost controls and divestments.

  • U.S. tariffs had a high double-digit EBITDA impact but were manageable; reorganization and efficiency measures are progressing well.

  • Decarbonization projects (greentec steel) are on time and on budget, with major investments in sustainable steel production and new R&D and capacity expansion projects underway.

  • Guidance for FY/BY 2025/26 remains unchanged, with positive momentum from EU safeguard measures and CBAM.

  • Employee count decreased by 4.1% to 49,614, reflecting divestments and restructuring.

Financial highlights

  • Revenue declined 5.6% year-over-year to €7,591.1 million, mainly due to lower prices, weaker demand, and the sale of Buderus Edelstahl.

  • EBITDA increased 0.6% to €722.4 million, with margin improving to 9.5%; EBIT rose 2.0% to €345.3 million (margin 4.5%).

  • Profit before tax rose to €278.4 million, and profit after tax increased by 8.6% to €198.6 million; EPS up 21.3% to €1.14.

  • Cash flow from operating activities more than doubled to €783.3 million; free cash flow improved to €296 million.

  • Net financial debt reduced by 28.2% to €1,469.7 million, lowering the gearing ratio to 19.5%.

Outlook and guidance

  • Guidance for FY/BY 2025/26 EBITDA remains unchanged at €1.4–1.55 billion, with all known tariff and safeguard impacts included.

  • Free cash flow guidance of at least €350 million for the year, with positive cash flow targeted for next year.

  • Management expects subdued growth in Europe, stable growth in North America, and ongoing challenges in Brazil; positive trends in railway, aerospace, and warehouse technology expected.

  • Reorganization projects progressing, with further positive effects expected in Q4 2025/26.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
