GESCO SE Reports Stable Start to 2025 Amid Economic Challenges

GESCO SE has released its first-quarter report for 2025, highlighting a stable entry into the new fiscal year, despite ongoing recessionary trends in Germany and a volatile global landscape. The company's incoming orders remained steady at €132.1 million, slightly below the previous year's adjusted level of €132.8 million. Group sales saw a minor decrease of 2.1% to €121.7 million, yet sales adjusted for divestitures increased by 6.1%.

The company's EBIT grew modestly to €4.1 million, reflecting a 1.5% increase from Q1 2024, while consolidated net profit after minority interests rose to €2.0 million. Earnings per share climbed to €0.19, marking a significant 21.8% improvement. GESCO's strategic divestitures at the end of 2024 and the re-segmentation of its portfolio are notable factors shaping these outcomes.

SVT's strong order intake stood out, contributing to satisfactory overall performance across sectors, despite uncertainties in the mechanical and plant engineering fields influenced by U.S economic policies. More details are available in the full report on the company's website.
