Due to a very positive operating performance in the first 6 months and expectations for the remainder of the financial year 2025, GEA Group Aktiengesellschaft is raising all guidance parameters based on preliminary figures as follows: organic sales growth 2 to 4 percent (previously 1 to 4 percent), EBITDA margin before restructuring expenses 16.2 to 16.4 percent (previously 15.6 to 16.0 percent) and ROCE 34 to 38 percent (previously 30 to 35 percent).
The company will publish its complete statement for the 2nd quarter (half-year financial report) on August 7, 2025.
“Our positive development continues. The additional improvements are broad-based, supported by a favorable order situation as well as margin improvements and efficiency gains across the Group. Once again, we are thus demonstrating our strength in executing on our plans,” said GEA CEO Stefan Klebert.
Alongside improving the profitability indicators EBITDA margin before restructuring expenses and ROCE, GEA also increased order intake and revenues on an organic basis compared to the prior-year quarter. This was particularly driven by a strong base business. The large order with a volume of between EUR 140 million and EUR 170 million announced by GEA on July 29 will only be booked in the second half of this year.
“Despite the current environment, GEA continues to perform very positively. We anticipate further interesting projects of all sizes in the second half of the year and expect to significantly accelerate our revenue growth in 2026 while further increasing profitability. Against this background, we are confirming our Mission 30 growth and profitability targets,” GEA CEO Stefan Klebert added.
