OC Oerlikon / Key word(s): Quarter Results Werbung
Good performance in Q3 2025 despite soft end markets Werbung
Key figures Oerlikon1 as of September 30, 2025 (CHF million, rounded2)
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. 3 Adjusted for FX change; there was no M&A impact in the comparable period.
Oerlikon delivered good order intake in Q3 at CHF 396m, up 11% organically year-over-year. Sales were up 2.9% at CHF 380m. These results demonstrate the company’s resilience despite ongoing challenges across most of its end markets. The third quarter was characterized by continuing geopolitical uncertainties and subdued industrial activity, especially in the Eurozone, where PMIs remained around neutral level.
The good performance in orders and sales was supported by continued innovation and positive market developments in aviation and tooling, compensating for headwinds in automotive, general industries and luxury. Overall, order momentum improved towards the end of the quarter.
While the service business remains affected by short-term headwinds, especially in Europe, the equipment business showed positive growth, particularly in Asia.
The ability to gain market share under these conditions underscores the strength of Oerlikon’s positioning and the effectiveness of our commercial execution. At the same time, strategic efficiency measures are progressing to sustainably optimize our cost structure, positioning the company to emerge even stronger once markets recover.
Following the good performance in Q3, and based on current tariffs status, Oerlikon reaffirms its full-year guidance.
Additionally, the successful placement of CHF 350 million in dual-tranche senior unsecured bonds and the reaffirmation of its investment-grade rating underscore continued confidence from the financial community in Oerlikon’s long-term strategy and resilience.
On track with pure-play execution Pure-play execution with the divestment of Barmag is on track and closing is expected for Q4 2025, subject to regulatory approvals.
Barmag’s order intake in Q3 2025 increased by 21% year-over-year at constant FX to CHF 186m, in line with the company’s expectations. Sales declined by 17% year-over-year at constant FX at CHF 150m, as a result of different seasonality.
Executive Committee Oerlikon announced that Marco Freidl and Dr. Andreas Weiss will join the Executive Committee.
Marco Freidl, a Swiss national, will assume the role of Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective November 2025. Currently serving as Oerlikon’s Head of Group Strategy, Business Development and M&A, he has held senior leadership positions in corporate finance and has a strong understanding of capital markets. He succeeds Markus Richter, who will leave the company.
Dr. Andreas Weiss, also a Swiss national, will join the Executive Committee in his current role as General Counsel and Corporate Secretary upon the expected closing of the divestment of Barmag to Rieter, which is expected in Q4 2025. Concurrently, Georg Stausberg, CEO Oerlikon Barmag, will step down from the Executive Committee to join Rieter AG.
The pure-play Executive Committee will consist of Executive Chairman Michael Suess, COO Dirk Linzmeier, CFO Marco Freidl, CHRO Anna Ryzhova and General Counsel Andreas Weiss.
“With these key leadership appointments, we have the right Executive Committee team to lead Oerlikon in its pure-play future,” Michael Suess, Executive Chairman of Oerlikon, stated. “I am confident that the professional acumen and personal integrity of Marco Freidl and Andreas Weiss will be a great asset to the Executive Committee”.
“The appointment of Andreas Weiss reflects the strategic importance of his contributions over many years. As a trusted advisor to both the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee, Andreas has played a key role in shaping legal and strategic matters,” Suess said.
“Marco has made a strong impact in corporate finance, strategy and M&A over the past years and brings a deep understanding of capital markets from his previous experience in banking. The Board and Executive Committee look forward to continuing our excellent collaboration with Marco Freidl and Andreas Weiss in their expanded roles,” Suess added.
