GESCO SE, listed on the Prime Standard, today published its quarterly report for the first quarter of 2026.

Incoming orders across the Group rose by 4.6% compared with the same quarter last year to €138.2 million. With sales of €121.0 million, this results in a pleasing book-to-bill ratio of 1.14. Despite sales remaining virtually unchanged compared with the same quarter of the previous year, EBIT improved by 13.1% to €4.6 million. The return on sales improved by 43 basis points to 3.8%.

Group earnings after minority interests, at €2.7 million, was significantly higher than in the same period last year (Q1 2025: €2.0 million). Earnings per share amounted to €0.27 (Q1 2025: €0.19).
