JOST Werke SE Reports Growth in Q2 2025, Driven by Integration of Hydraulics Business

JOST Werke SE announced a 44% increase in sales, reaching EUR 429 million in Q2 2025, compared to EUR 298 million in Q2 2024. This growth was mainly supported by the acquisition of Hyva. Additionally, adjusted EBIT rose by 10% to EUR 37 million. The cranes division, considered non-core, is set for divestment to Mutares SE & Co. KGaA, aligning with JOST's strategy.

Consolidated sales, excluding the cranes business, rose by 31% to EUR 391 million. In EMEA, JOST reported a 20.9% increase in sales. However, sales in AMERICAS grew only by 7.5% due to currency challenges, and APAC saw significant growth due to Hyva's strong influence.

Earnings after tax declined, impacted by acquisition-related exceptionals, while net debt rose due to the Hyva acquisition. JOST maintains a positive outlook for 2025, expecting continued sales and EBIT growth.
