OC Oerlikon / Key word(s): Half Year Results Werbung
Oerlikon maintains stable order intake in H1 2025 despite challenging market environment Werbung
1 Oerlikon refers to continuing operations. 2024 numbers pro forma without Barmag. 2 Due to rounding, some totals may not correspond with the sum of the separate figures. For the reconciliation of operational and reported EBITDA figures, please see earnings presentation. 3 Adjusted for FX change, there was no M&A impact in the comparable period. 4 Reported annually and semi-annually only, from continuing operations.
Michael Suess, Executive Chairman of Oerlikon, stated: “The current challenging economic and geopolitical environment impacted the majority of our end markets, especially in Europe. This negative impact is worsened by current EU and German industrial policies and overregulation, none of which supports business recovery. Despite these headwinds, we maintained a stable order intake and therefore gained market share and delivered lower but robust profitability.
However, given the continued weakness in industrial demand, persistent geopolitical tensions, and the added burden on the economy from newly evolving tariff regimes, we are adjusting our full-year guidance for 2025.
We continue to take decisive steps to strengthen our long-term position. In the second half, we will focus on executing operational structural cost measures. These strategic actions target operations with limited growth potential and aim to increase agility and efficiency as we transition to pure play. At the same time, we are driving pricing and innovation to protect margins and position ourselves well for when markets recover.
The closing process for Barmag is fully on track.”
Oerlikon 2025 half-year overview In the first half of 2025, Oerlikon operated in a challenging market environment shaped by geopolitical conflicts, trade tensions, and overall uncertainty. These factors dampened investment and industrial production, especially in Europe, affecting the vast majority of Oerlikon’s main markets such as automotive, general industries, tooling or luxury.
Despite these headwinds, Oerlikon maintained stable orders intake year-over-year at constant FX at CHF 826 million, demonstrating the strength of its diversified market strategy. Growth in aerospace & defense, and other innovation-driven areas helped offset the temporary softness in other end markets.
Sales declined in H1 by 3% to CHF 786 million at constant FX, reflecting the delayed investment decisions and a weaker service business. Operational EBITDA was CHF 131 million, or 16.7% of sales, impacted by a temporary negative mix effect. Result from continuing operations declined to CHF -46 million, reflecting lower EBITDA and CHF 46 million in portfolio optimization-related impairments, which are non-cash effective. Delivering on strategy: Divestment of Barmag In May 2025, Oerlikon signed a definitive agreement to sell Barmag to Rieter for CHF 850 million (up to CHF 950 million including earn-out). Barmag’s order intake improved at constant FX for the second consecutive quarter, though H1 was down 14.4% year-over-year due to seasonal differences. Sales rose by 9.1% at constant FX, showing a recovery from the low point in early 2024. Operational EBITDA margin was 8.2%, in line with expectations.
Update on 2025 outlook Following the first half of 2025, Oerlikon is updating its full-year guidance to reflect the continued weakness in industrial demand, persistent geopolitical tensions, and the additional burden on the economy arising from newly evolving tariff regimes. The company now expects full-year sales to remain stable to slightly lower at constant FX and an operational EBITDA margin between 17.5% and 17.0%).
To safeguard profitability in the second half of 2025 and support its recovery in 2026, Oerlikon has launched additional structural cost-saving measures. These are long-term initiatives aimed at making Oerlikon a more agile and efficient company, with a focus on cost areas that offer limited growth potential. These actions, combined with continued investment in innovation and growth markets, will ensure Oerlikon is well positioned once markets recover.
