GEA Group has published preliminary financial results for fiscal year 2025, surpassing expectations in key performance indicators and projecting continued organic growth in 2026.
According to the release, GEA achieved an organic order intake growth of 9.1 percent for 2025, reaching EUR 5.9 billion (approx. USD 6.42 billion), compared to 4.6 percent in the previous year. Full-year sales totaled EUR 5.5 billion (approx. USD 5.99 billion), representing an organic growth of 3.7 percent and placing results at the upper end of the company’s guidance.
Preliminary EBITDA before restructuring expenses rose to EUR 907 million (approx. USD 987 million), up from EUR 837 million in 2024. This corresponds to a margin of 16.5 percent, also above the previously guided range of 16.2 to 16.4 percent. Reported earnings per share are expected between EUR 2.60 and EUR 2.70, compared to EUR 2.30 in the prior year.
In the fourth quarter alone, GEA recorded an order intake of EUR 1.83 billion (approx. USD 1.99 billion), exceeding the VARA consensus forecast of EUR 1.71 billion by 7.0 percent. Organic growth for Q4 order intake reached 17.9 percent year-on-year.
Looking ahead to fiscal year 2026, GEA expects organic sales growth of more than 5 percent and further margin improvements. The company highlighted a consistent performance over the past four years, with an average annual organic order intake growth of 5.5 percent and organic sales growth averaging 6.2 percent.
“The renewed strong order intake bolsters our objective of achieving annual organic sales growth of at least five percent, as part of our Mission 30. At the same time, we are continuing to increase our margins year by year,” said Stefan Klebert, CEO of GEA.
The full Annual Report for fiscal year 2025 is scheduled for publication on March 9, 2026.
