Pre-Silent Call summary6 Oct, 2025

Executive summary

  • Q2 2025 saw a 20% year-on-year increase in orders and a 13.1% comparable operating profit margin, driven by strong equipment profitability and robust demand in most regions except North America.

  • Q3 order releases are fewer, with notable orders for hybrid straddle carriers and a maintenance contract.

  • Market outlook for H2 2025 remains subdued due to weaker global container throughput, manufacturing output, and ongoing market uncertainties, especially in the US.

  • 2025 guidance is unchanged, targeting a comparable operating profit margin above 12%.

Trading performance and revenue trends

  • Q2 sales increased by 1%, supported by a strengthened order backlog from three consecutive strong quarters and favorable demand in Europe and AMEA.

  • Q3 order flow is thinner, reflecting the lumpy nature of large equipment orders.

  • U.S. sales share dropped to 21% in H1 2025 from 26% in 2024, mainly due to tariffs and related disruptions.

  • US distribution end customer segment demand was hampered by market uncertainty.

Profitability and margins

  • Achieved a 13.1% comparable operating profit margin in Q2 2025, reflecting strong equipment profitability.

  • Service profitability was temporarily impacted by a U.S. warehouse move and tariffs but is recovering.

  • Outlook for 2025 is to maintain a comparable operating profit margin above 12%.

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.
