Steyr, Austria, 14 May 2025 – Steyr Motors AG ([1]ISIN AT0000A3FW25), one
of the world's leading companies in the field of customized engines for
mission-critical defense and civil applications, today published its
figures for the first quarter of 2025. Following a start to the financial
year 2025 according to plan, the Management Board confirms the outlook for
the full year.
Steyr Motors achieved a 26.4% increase in revenue to EUR 11.5 million in
the first quarter of 2025 (previous year: EUR 9.1 million). EBIT improved
to EUR 2.1 million (previous year: EUR 1.4 million), meaning that Steyr
Motors was already able to generate around a third of the previous year's
total EBIT of EUR 6.5 million in the first quarter. This underlines the
dynamism of the business and the positive development of margins. Compared
to the figure of EUR 1.9 million for the first quarter of 2024, adjusted
for special effects in connection with the restructuring and costs for
external consultants, there was an increase of 9.9%, while on a comparable
(unadjusted) basis, growth of 51.6% was achieved compared to the EBIT of
the first quarter of 2024. Net profit for the quarter amounted to EUR 1.5
million (previous year: EUR 1.1 million).
The strong demand for high-performance power units in the defense sector
contributed significantly to the successful development in the first
quarter of 2025 with growth of around 35%. Overall, the “Defense” segment
contributed 59.0% (previous year: 55.0%) to revenue in the first quarter.
In the “Civil” sector, Steyr Motors AG generated 41% of quarterly revenue
with growth of around 15% in the first three months.
From a regional perspective, the key drivers of revenue growth in the
first quarter of 2025 are attributable to the successful expansion in
Asia, where revenue more than doubled compared to the previous year, and a
roughly 20% increase in revenues in Europe. The Management Board expects
the ramp-up of various projects from the order backlog to further
accelerate this growth momentum in the current year - with correspondingly
positive impetus for the operating margin.
“We are fully in line with our plans for the first quarter. We are in the
ramp-up phase in order to work off the high order backlog. At the same
time, we are continuing to see dynamic demand. In recent weeks, we have
held promising discussions regarding new orders with customers from the
USA, Europe and India. We are more confident than ever that we will
achieve our communicated targets for the financial year 2025,” comments
Julian Cassutti, CEO of Steyr Motors.
Following the successful and planned development in the first quarter,
which is traditionally the weakest quarter of the financial year due to
the procurement cycle of end customers, the Management Board is confident
about the rest of the year. In light of the imminent ramp-up of projected
orders, continued dynamic demand and the existing order backlog, which at
the quarterly reporting date amounted to around EUR 200 million from firm
orders, framework orders and non-binding sales commitments with a range
until 2027, the Management Board is therefore confirming its forecast for
the financial year 2025. This continues to envisage an increase in revenue
of at least 40% with an output of at least 1,250 motor units (previous
year: 729 units). The Management Board expects the EBIT margin to be above
20%. Growth will be driven in particular by increased activities in Asia,
the MENA region and North and South America.
