  • Challenging demand and delayed investment weighed on operations; strategic responses included a €50 million efficiency program, regional restructuring and portfolio changes.

Financial highlights

  • Consolidated net result was negative €61.5 million versus profit of €72.4 million, primarily reflecting Russian-operations and Tail Lifts write-offs and valuation effects.

  • Net financial debt was €567.2 million, down from €577.2 million a year earlier.

Outlook and guidance

  • FY 2026 revenue is expected slightly above the prior year and EBIT slightly below; net income will be affected by CIS and Tail Lifts revaluations.

  • The free cash flow target remains above €100 million for FY, supported by an expected strong Q4 ramp-up.

  • Strategy 2030+ targets remain €2.8 billion revenue, 12% EBIT margin and 15% ROCE; the revenue target reflects portfolio changes and organic growth ambitions.

  • Efficiency measures target €50 million of sustainable savings by 2028 to offset inflation and stabilize structural costs.
