EQS-News: One-time items weigh heavy on earnings in an overall challenging fiscal year 2025

 DATA MODUL - One-time items weigh heavy on earnings in an overall challenging fiscal year 2025

• Sales down 5.9% year-over-year to €212.9 million
• Order intake of €210.4 million, up 4.5% year-over-year
• EBIT of -€4.9 million, down significantly compared to the previous year

Munich, March 20, 2026 – DATA MODUL closed the 2025 fiscal year amid a continuously challenging market environment with a decline in sales and earnings. In the fourth quarter, DATA MODUL generated sales of €52.7 million (previous year: €53.9 million), which is 2.2% below the level of the same quarter of the previous year. Consolidated revenue thus dropped by 5.9% for the full year 2025, totalling €212.9 million (previous year: €226.2 million). The export ratio rose to 54.9% (previous year: 52.7%), once again highlighting the Group’s increasing international focus. The Group’s EBIT was -€0.5 million in the fourth quarter (previous year: €1.6 million) and -€4.9 million for the full fiscal year (previous year: €9.3 million), which was impacted by one-time special items totalling €8.6 million. The increase in order intake for the fourth quarter to €55.0 million (previous year: €52.3 million) resulted in a total of €210.4 million for the 2025 fiscal year, representing a 4.5% increase over the previous year’s figure of €201.4 million.  The order backlog decreased by 6.2% year-over-year to €132.6 million (previous year: €141.3 million) as of the reporting date.

Group Key Figures

Although the company reported a net loss for the 2025 fiscal year, the Executive Board and Supervisory Board propose, based on the retained earnings, to distribute a dividend of EUR 0.25 per share to shareholders.

Outlook

The 2026 fiscal year will be marked by persistently high geopolitical and economic uncertainties, which will delay a recovery in the key sales markets. Assuming a continuing recession with a late upturn, the Executive Board expects a sideways sales development while still achieving an overall profitable annual result. At the same time, despite the volatile environment, DATA MODUL sees long-term opportunities through international expansion and product innovations.
