PFISTERER Holding SE: Strong Q1 2026 with significant revenue growth and overproportional increase in earnings

Winterbach, Germany: PFISTERER Holding SE (“PFISTERER“; ISIN: DE000PFSE212) made a strong start into the 2026 financial — both revenue and earnings developed significantly more dynamically than in the same period last year.

Group revenue increased year-over-year by 26.7% to EUR 126.9 million in the first quarter of 2026. All product segments contributed to the company’s growth momentum and recorded revenue increases year-on-year. Adjusted EBITDA rose disproportionately by 32.1% to EUR 27.7 million. As a result, the adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 21.8%, compared to 20.9% in the prior year quarter. Net profit for the period increased even more strongly, rising by 57.7% to EUR 18.5 million (Q1 2025: EUR 11.7 million).

Order intake amounted to EUR 131.1 million in the first quarter, as expected slightly below the high prior-year level of EUR 144.2 million. For the full year, PFISTERER continues to expect order intake to remain around the previous year’s high level with a book-to-bill ratio above 1. Order book increased by 17.7% year-on-year to EUR 335.8 million as of March 31, 2026, underlining the continued strong demand for the company’s solutions.

During the reporting period, PFISTERER advanced several strategically important projects. Among other achievements, the company was awarded the contract to supply electrical connection technology for Nordlicht I and Nordlicht II, Germany’s largest offshore wind farm projects currently under development. PFISTERER will be responsible for ensuring the secure electrical connection between the wind turbines and the subsea cable network.

In addition, the company opened a new state-of-the-art training and installation center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. By expanding its local presence, PFISTERER is supporting the implementation of the Saudi government’s “Saudi Vision 2030” initiative aimed at building a modern and sustainable energy infrastructure.

Another important milestone was the topping-out ceremony for the new qualification and testing center for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) technology at the company’s headquarters in Winterbach. Operations at the facility are scheduled to commence in 2027.

Against the backdrop of the positive business performance, stable market conditions and the high order book, PFISTERER confirms both its outlook for fiscal year 2026 and its mid-term view. The company expects revenue growth of at least 12% in 2026 and a book-to-bill ratio above 1. In the mid-term, PFISTERER continues to target an adjusted EBITDA margin in the high teens to low twenties percentage range.

Johannes Linden, Spokesman and Member of the Management Board of PFISTERER Holding SE, said: “PFISTERER has made a very successful start to fiscal year 2026. We are particularly pleased that all product segments contributed to growth and that we achieved substantial increases in both revenue and earnings. Supported by our strong order book and market position, we are very well positioned to continue our profitable growth trajectory.”
