Krones AG Sustains Growth Amid Uncertainties, Reaffirms 2025 Targets

Krones AG, a leading manufacturer in the beverage and liquid food industry, has maintained its growth trajectory in the third quarter of 2025, despite global economic challenges. Order intake boosted significantly, recording a 6.2% rise compared to the previous quarter, totaling €1,374.3 million. Year-on-year comparison also shows a 3.9% increase in orders.

Revenue saw a 4.7% rise compared to the same period last year, reaching €1,380.9 million in the third quarter. Over the first nine months of this year, Krones reported a revenue growth of 6%, aligning well with their expectations.

Profitability improved, as demonstrated by an increase in EBITDA to €142.2 million, a significant rise despite costs associated with participating in the drinktec trade fair. Consequently, the EBITDA margin climbed to 10.3%, slightly above the previous year's 10.2%.

The company confirms its confidence in achieving its 7-9% revenue growth target for 2025, projecting an EBITDA margin between 10.2% and 10.8% and a return on capital employed (ROCE) of 18% to 20%, despite prevailing geopolitical and economic uncertainties.
