Trumpf records decline in sales in financial year 2024/25

At the end of the 2024/25 financial year on June 30, 2025, the Trumpf Group recorded a 16 percent decline in sales to 4.3 billion euros (2023/24 financial year: 5.2 billion euros). Order intake fell less sharply to EUR 4.2 billion (financial year 2023/24: EUR 4.6 billion). This corresponds to a decrease of 7% compared to the previous year. Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) fell to 59 million euros (previous year: 501 million euros) as a result of the decline in sales, but also due to the necessary structural measures we took. The EBIT margin was also unsatisfactory at 1.4% (previous year: 9.7%). Adjusted for the structural measures taken, earnings before interest and taxes amounted to 230 million euros and the EBIT margin was 5.3%.

Slowing global economy clouds business balance at Trumpf

Nicola Leibinger-Kammüller, CEO of Trumpf, said at the presentation of the balance sheet in Ditzingen: "The slowing global economy and geopolitical uncertainties led to a continued and significant reluctance to make new investments among customers worldwide in the past financial year. Nevertheless, we believe that we have now reached the bottom. There are cautious signs of improvement. Our incoming orders, for example, have not fallen for several months and are stabilizing at a level that is undoubtedly still too low." Leibinger-Kammüller was therefore cautiously optimistic about the outlook for the current financial year until June 30, 2026. Trumpf sees opportunities in individual markets and business areas. "These include, for example, electromobility, semiconductors and electronics, our smart factories and services in the machine tools sector. Overall, it is to be expected that many customers will renew their machinery after a long period and will also use our offerings in the areas of networked manufacturing and artificial intelligence." Against the backdrop of the geopolitical situation, Trumpf has also decided to provide its customers with technologies for defense solutions in the future following intensive discussions among shareholders and the Management Board.

Turnover in the Electronics division amounted to 442 million euros. This corresponds to a decrease of 23% compared to the previous year (572 million euros).
