Q3 2025 earnings summary10 Nov, 2025

Executive summary

  • Sales for the first nine months of 2025 declined year-over-year due to divestments, lower prices, and reduced volumes, but a slightly positive pre-tax result was achieved in Q3 2025, the first since Q1 2024, supported by improvement programs and contributions from Aurubis and KHS Group.

  • The net financial position improved by EUR 78 million year-over-year, mainly due to working capital release and investment restraint.

  • Persistently weak economic and market conditions continue to pressure margins, though some moderate price recovery is emerging.

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.
