Preliminary results for the first half year and adjustment of outlook 2025
Based on preliminary figures, FUCHS Group expects sales of €1,804 million (H1 2024: €1,764 million) and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of €209 million (H1 2024: €218 million) for the first half year 2025.
Therefore, preliminary EBIT for the second quarter 2025 with €101 million (Q2 2024: €111 million) is below the consensus for the second quarter 2025 (€112 million).
For the financial year 2025, FUCHS now expects sales and EBIT on previous year’s level (financial year 2024: Sales at €3,525 million, EBIT at €434 million).
The previous outlook for 2025 expected sales at around €3.7 billion and EBIT at around €460 million.
Consensus for the financial year 2025 stands at €3,660 million for sales and at €459 million for EBIT.
The adjustment of the outlook results from a continued muted demand of relevant customer groups due to tariff discussions triggered by the US, slow industrial production in Europe as well as from ongoing geopolitical tensions.
FUCHS currently expects the overall weak economic environment to continue in the second half of 2025.
The half-year financial statement 2025 will be published on July 31, 2025.
