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 dur-ing 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 per-cent 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.
