LPKF Adjusts 2025 Financial Forecast Amid Global Challenges

LPKF Laser & Electronics SE has revised its financial forecast for 2025. The decision follows a comprehensive review of customer projects impacted by updated US customs regulations. This has prompted many clients to reorganize supply chains and delay projects, particularly in Europe where investment hesitance persists. However, the Asian market shows more investment openness, and North American operations continue to perform steadily.

Due to the sluggish order intake reported in the first half of the year, LPKF now anticipates annual revenue between EUR 115 and 125 million, down from an earlier estimate of EUR 125 to 140 million. The adjusted EBIT margin is projected to be 0% to 5%, compared to the previous 6% to 9% forecast.

LPKF is implementing intensified cost-saving measures and a comprehensive program to enhance resilience against market volatility. This strategy aims to mitigate adverse effects on their annual results.
