Fiscal Year 2026
-
Q1 2026 saw nearly 20% revenue growth and a 4.5pp EBIT margin increase, driven by strong European demand and robust order intake. Guidance for FY 2026 is confirmed, with moderate market upturn expected and continued investment planned.
Fiscal Year 2025

Q1 2025 revenue and EBIT margin declined due to weak prior order intake, but a strong recovery is expected from Q2 onward, supported by a rising book-to-bill ratio and positive momentum from the Bauma trade fair. Services and light equipment segments showed growth, while compact equipment declined.
