Summarized from source with an LLMView SourceSector: IndustrialsLatest Results (06.09.2026):
Klingelnberg Ltd — first half (H1) of the 2024/25 financial year (covers Q1–Q2 2024/25): the Group reported strong top-line growth with net sales of EUR 126.9m (up EUR 21.5m, +20% year‑on‑year), a historically high order backlog of EUR 241.7m, and a small positive EBIT of EUR 0.5m, while net result turned to a loss of EUR 1.8m. Guidance for 2024/25 was confirmed (slight sales increase, EBIT margin >8%).
Sales and order book
Net sales: EUR 126.9m (H1 2024/25), +EUR 21.5m (+20%) versus H1 2023/24. Order intake cooled to EUR 101.2m, but order backlog remains historically high at EUR 241.7m — well above the five‑half‑year average.
Profitability (EBIT / net result)
Operating result (EBIT) was positive at EUR 0.5m but declined by EUR 4.2m year‑on‑year. Profit before tax was EUR 0.1m and the Group recorded a net loss of EUR 1.8m (prior H1 reported a net profit of EUR 1.1m), driven largely by higher taxes and reduced other operating income.
Key income / cost drivers
Other operating income fell sharply from EUR 9.6m to EUR 0.9m (‑EUR 8.7m) because the prior period included flood‑related reimbursements (approx. EUR 4.1m) and reconstruction aid (approx. EUR 5.0m). Material expense rose to EUR 61.7m and personnel expense increased to EUR 58.1m (additional ~97 employees y/y and a 3.3% wage increase effective 1 May 2024).
Cash flow and balance sheet
Cash flow from operating activities declined to EUR ‑3.9m (a decrease of EUR 16.6m). Cash and cash equivalents were EUR 14.1m. Investments in fixed assets were EUR 4.8m; cash flow from investing was EUR ‑8.2m. Total equity increased to EUR 131.0m and the equity ratio rose to 45.1%. Short‑term financial liabilities increased to EUR 46.4m.
Acquisition / M&A
Klingelnberg Ltd acquired VISPIRON ROTEC GmbH (measurement‑technology specialist). Management cites strategic benefits: tighter tech integration for flagship products (R300), reduced supplier dependence and strengthened competitive position in high‑precision measurement.
Outlook and guidance
Management confirmed guidance for financial year 2024/25: a slight increase in sales and an EBIT margin of over 8%, supported by the strong order backlog and the solid first‑half sales performance.
