SMT Scharf AG Lowers 2025 Revenue and Earnings Forecast

On August 22, 2025, SMT Scharf AG announced a revision of its 2025 financial forecast, citing market challenges. The company now anticipates 2025 consolidated revenue to range between EUR 100 million and EUR 120 million, with EBIT projected between EUR 0.5 million to EUR 2.5 million. This update marks a reduction from previous expectations of EUR 110 million to EUR 130 million in revenue and an EBIT range of EUR 5.5 million to EUR 7.5 million.

The primary drivers for this downward revision are decreased demand in coal mining markets and ongoing trade disputes. This economic climate is likely to delay planned orders from 2025 to 2026. Despite these challenges, the first half of 2025 saw an improvement over the same period last year, with revenues hitting EUR 50.1 million, up from EUR 28.4 million, and EBIT reaching EUR 2.9 million. The growth is attributed to advancements in tunnel logistics and the full integration of Shandong Xinsha Monorail Co., Ltd.
