Augsburg, January 29, 2025 – RENK Group AG, a leading supplier of propulsion solutions for the military and civilian sectors, has successfully continued its growth trajectory unabated in 2024. The positive conditions in the defense market segment contributed to a record order intake of
€ 1.4 billion. Thanks to its strong operating performance, RENK generated revenues of € 1.1 billion, an increase of 23% compared to the previous year. This results in a book-to-bill ratio of 1.3x. In addition, RENK achieved an adjusted EBIT of € 189 million, which corresponds to an increase of 26% compared to the previous year.

Based on these preliminary, unaudited results, RENK has successfully achieved the revenue guidance for the fiscal year 2024 (guidance for fiscal year 2024: ~€ 1,100 million). In addition, RENK's preliminary adjusted EBIT of € 189 million for fiscal year 2024 is at the upper end of the narrowed guidance (guidance for fiscal year 2024: € ~175 - 190 million) and above the current market consensus (market consensus dated November 25, 2024: € 181.3 million).

It is particularly pleasing for me to see the business in such a strong position as I step down from CEO and handover to my successor Dr. Alexander Sagel. RENK is well positioned to capitalise on the growth opportunities it has, and I look forward to closely following its progress in the future”.
