EBIT doubled compared to the previous year to € 8.4 million. This growth is also reflected in the increase in the order backlog to € 84 million and the book-to-bill ratio of 1.1. "Our focused strategy and the earnings contributions of the ttSprint efficiency program are taking full effect: we are growing profitably, generating attractive returns and consistently expanding our market position. We are thus creating the basis for a sustained increase in the value of our shares," says Michael Finger, CEO of technotrans SE.
Technology segment increases revenue and earnings
The fact that deliveries of technotrans systems have increased is reflected in the Technology segment's revenue growth of € 5.0 million to € 90.8 million. According to technotrans, an optimized product mix, economies of scale and efficiency improvements led to a significant rise in the EBIT margin for this segment to 4.3 % (previous year: -0.1 %). The Services segment generated revenue moderately up on the previous year at € 29.8 million (previous year: € 29.6 million). It accounted for 25% of consolidated sales. The segment's EBIT margin increased to 15.0% (previous year: 14.1%).
Solid financial and asset position
Overall, the balance sheet total increased to € 166.3 million. The equity ratio remained very comfortable at 59.7%. The free cash flow of € -1.1 million includes cash outflows from investments in the amount of € 2.8 million, which mainly resulted from the acquisition of a plot of land in Sassenberg. The Management Board is very satisfied with the course of business in view of the challenging conditions. It continues to expect consolidated sales of between € 245 million and € 265 million and an EBIT margin of between 7% and 9% for 2025 as a whole.
