Dürr Aktiengesellschaft / Key word(s): Change in Forecast Dürr AG adjusts forecast for order intake; sales and earnings forecast confirmed Dürr AG – WKN 556520 / ISIN DE0005565204 Bietigheim-Bissingen, July 23, 2025 — Based on preliminary business figures for the second quarter of 2025, Dürr AG is adjusting its annual forecast for order intake. The forecast for sales, EBIT margin before extraordinary effects, and earnings after tax, however, is confirmed. The figures relate to the continued operations (excluding environmental technology). At €807 million (H1 2025: €1,887 million), order intake in the second quarter of 2025 was below the level of the previous quarters. The reason for the subdued development was considerable investment uncertainty among customers as a result of the tariff conflicts. Against this backdrop, the annual target for order intake has been adjusted to between €3,800 million and €4,100 million (previously: between €4,300 million and €4,700 million). Sales reached €1,001 million in the second quarter and €2,008 million in the first half of the year. Despite the persistently uncertain environment and project delays on the part of customers in the automotive business, the Board of Management confirms the sales forecast for 2025 of €4,200 million to €4,600 million; however, the lower end of the target range is anticipated. The EBIT margin before extraordinary effects was 4.2% in the second quarter (H1 2025: 4.0%), representing an improvement on the first quarter (3.9%). The forecast of 4.5% to 5.5% for 2025 is confirmed. The annual forecast for earnings after tax of €120 million to €170 million is also confirmed. Earnings after tax for the full year will be subject to additional positive and negative extraordinary effects. Specifically, these are:
Whilst the forecast for the EBIT margin before extraordinary effects is unchanged at 4.5% to 5.5% for 2025, the forecast range for the EBIT margin (after extraordinary effects) is being adjusted to -1.0% to 0.0% (previously 3.5% to 4.5%). The reason for this is, that the book profit from the sale of environmental technology is not taken into account in the EBIT (after extraordinary effects) of the continued operations. Due to the agreed sale of environmental technology, Dürr AG no longer publishes forecasts that include the divested business. The interim report for the first half of the year will be published on August 7, 2025.
