PWO Group maintains encouraging performance in the first half of 2025 Carlo Lazzarini (CEO): “Our innovative solutions give us a clear competitive edge by pushing the boundaries of what is technologically feasible. The proprietary applications we are developing for important new applications independently of specific customer orders are also capturing widespread interest. We intend to continue on our successful course.”
Oberkirch, August 8, 2025 – Despite a challenging geopolitical environment, the PWO Group maintained its encouraging performance in the first half of 2025 with satisfactory financial indicators and consistently strong new business. The PWO Group’s key performance indicators for the first half of 2025 were as follows:
The automotive industry remains under pressure. This only serves to revalidate our decision to systematically diversify our customer base and keep expanding our product portfolio in recent years. The ongoing high level of new business in the first 6 months of 2025 is therefore particularly noteworthy in terms of continuing to secure the PWO Group’s future development. We assume that revenue in the first half of 2025 has been bolstered to some extent by the pre-emptive effects of expected tariff increases. Those effects are likely to tail off in the second half of the year. In addition, the U.S. dollar is moving in a direction that is unhelpful for us. Consequently, we now expect revenue in the region of EUR 500 – 510m for fiscal 2025 (previous guidance: around EUR 530m; previous year: EUR 555.1m). Just under two-thirds of this decline is due to the market slowdown, with a good third attributable to currency effects. We remain confident that we can offset the market-driven shortfall in earnings contributions with appropriate management measures. We are therefore confirming our guidance for this and all other key performance indicators for fiscal 2025. We anticipate EBIT before currency effects of EUR 23 – 28m (previous year: EUR 30.0m). In order to go on expanding the PWO Group’s market position, we plan on a capital expenditure of around EUR 40m (previous year: EUR 46.2m). Free cash flow is expected to be positive in the low single-digit million euro range (previous year: EUR 33.3m). We are working tirelessly to reduce capital employed in current assets. Despite free cash flow of EUR -10.5m in the first quarter of 2025, we have already succeeded in turning things around, with a marginally positive figure for the first half of the year. We anticipate a stable equity ratio (December 31, 2024: 37.5 percent) and a net debt ratio of less than 2.5 years (December 31, 2024: 1.6 years). In new business, we are aiming for a lifetime volume in the region of EUR 550 – 600m (previous year: around EUR 630m).
