Q3 2025 earnings summary13 Nov, 2025

Executive summary

  • Sales increased 7.1% year-over-year to €1,134.7 million for Q1–Q3 2025, driven by Large Scale & Project Solutions, while Home & Business Solutions (HBS) underperformed due to weak demand and competitive pressure.

  • EBITDA dropped sharply to €-17 million from €84 million in the prior year period, mainly due to significant one-off effects and impairments in HBS.

  • Free cash flow turned positive at €115 million, a substantial improvement from €-220 million in 9M 2024, supported by net working capital reduction and divestments.

  • Significant restructuring and transformation program expanded, targeting over €100 million in annual cost savings by 2027.

  • Strategic focus is shifting towards core European markets, with workforce reductions in Germany and non-core markets, and expansion in Poland and India.

Financial highlights

  • 2025 sales are expected to be well below the previous year's level for the HBS division, while Large Scale & Project Solutions anticipates sales slightly above the high level of the previous year.

  • EBITDA and EBIT will be negatively impacted by lower sales and one-off restructuring costs, with EBITDA margin dropping to -1.5% from 7.9% year-over-year.

  • Net income for 9M 2025 was €-145 million, down from €35 million in 9M 2024.

  • One-off charges totaling €215–265 million are expected, with €45 million recognized in Q2 and €159 million in Q3.

  • Order backlog decreased to €1,282 million from €1,438 million year-over-year, with Large Scale order intake recovering in Q3.

Outlook and guidance

  • 2025 sales guidance is €1,450–1,500 million, with EBITDA expected between minus €80 million and minus €30 million due to one-time effects and restructuring.

  • Management expects negative one-time effects totaling €170–220 million, including inventory devaluations, impairments, and restructuring accruals.

  • Further restructuring provisions will be added in Q4, mainly for severance payments estimated at €30–40 million.

  • No expectation of breakeven for HBS in 2025; breakeven post-restructuring requires at least €300 million in sales.

  • Large Scale order intake in Q4 expected to be €300–400 million, lower than Q3 but still solid.

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.
