Schramberg, 7 November 2025 – The SCHWEIZER Group increased order intake by more than 140 percent compared to the same period last year and raised sales by 15.8 percent. The company-wide efficiency and strategy programme was successfully advanced as planned during the reporting period.
At the end of the third quarter, the order backlog amounted to EUR 256.1 million (30 Septem-ber 2024: EUR 221.0 million), providing a reliable basis for business development in the coming quarters.
The SCHWEIZER Group's sales in the first nine months amounted to EUR 127.5 million (9M 2024: EUR 110.1 million), an increase of 15.8 percent compared to the same period last year. The positive development of the trading business more than compensated for the decline in in-house production to EUR 41.5 million (30 September 2024: EUR 61.3 million). Revenue from trading activities increased by 76.2 percent, accounting for 67.4 percent of total revenue (9M 2024: 44.3 percent).
Business with automotive customers continued to be very successful, accounting for 84.0 percent of sales in the first three quarters (9M 2024: 80.6 percent). Industrial customers accounted for 12.8 percent of sales (9M 2024: 13.4 percent) and other customers for 3.1 percent (9M 2024: 6.0 percent). While revenue in Germany declined by -17.3 percent, growth of +43.6 percent was achieved in the other European markets, +22.5 percent in Asia and +53.0 percent in Ameri-ca.
Gross profit amounted to EUR +5.3 million in the reporting period (9M 2024: EUR +7.5 million). The decline was due to ongoing price pressure on the customer and supplier side as well as shifts in the product and customer mix. Adjusted for restructuring costs of EUR 1 million incurred in the third quarter of 2025, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) for the first nine months of 2025 amounted to EUR -0.5 million (9M 2024: EUR -1.0 million) and EUR +0.6 million in the third quarter of 2025 (Q3 2024: EUR -1.1 million).
The group's equity amounted to EUR 12.9 million as of 30 September 2025, corresponding to an equity ratio of 12.1 percent (31 December 2024: 21.1 percent).
Forecast / Outlook
Based on current business development, SCHWEIZER is specifying its expectations for the full year 2025. The revenue forecast is being raised to a range of EUR 155 to EUR 165 million (pre-viously: EUR 145 to EUR 165 million). Due to ongoing margin pressure and high raw material prices, the EBITDA forecast for adjusted EBITDA has been adjusted to EUR 1 to EUR 3 million (previously: EUR 2 to EUR 6 million).
Overall, the SCHWEIZER Group has improved its operating performance from quarter to quar-ter through increasing efficiency improvements. This positive development is likely to continue in the fourth quarter of 2025.
