SAF-HOLLAND Reports Strong Q3 2026 Performance with Improved Profitability

In the third quarter of 2026, SAF-HOLLAND SE posted a significant growth in sales and profitability. Group sales for the first nine months increased by 4.1% to EUR 1,362.3 million, while third-quarter sales rose by 9.4% compared to the previous year. The company reported an adjusted EBIT increase of 7.6%, reaching EUR 130.3 million, with the margin improving to 9.6%.

The company's performance was bolstered by strong demand in trailer markets, especially in Europe and APAC. The North American truck market also contributed to this growth. Operating free cash flow more than doubled to EUR 123.6 million, driven by operational efficiency and reduced cash outflows.

Looking forward, SAF-HOLLAND has reaffirmed its positive outlook for 2026. Expected sales range between EUR 1,700 million and EUR 1,850 million, with an adjusted EBIT margin of 9% to 10%. The company anticipates continued growth, supported by pricing strategies and efficiency improvements amidst global market uncertainties.
