\nNEWS AKTUELL \/\/ Heidelberg, Germany – June 5, 2025.- Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (HEIDELBERG) is starting financial year 2025\/26 on a strong note. Based on its global market position, its portfolio expansion in strategic growth markets, and a much-improved cost basis, and despite a difficult economic climate, the company is expecting a slight increase in sales to around \u20ac 2,350 million in the new financial year and an adjusted operating margin of up to 8 percent. It sees growth potential in a number of areas. These include playing a leading role as a systems integrator for packaging and digital printing with hybrid printing solutions, combining software and service business in a digital ecosystem, and expanding the operation of charging infrastructure, including DC technology. HEIDELBERG is also expecting a big boost from the Asia\/Pacific region. Healthy incoming orders at May\u2019s China Print trade show confirmed this and created the basis for a successful start to the new financial year. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cSignificant strategic and operational improvements have paved the way for further profitable growth,\u201d said J\u00fcrgen Otto, CEO of HEIDELBERG. \u201cOur measures will make a substantial contribution to the expected increase in sales. Enhanced efficiency and performance will further boost our profitability. Encouragingly, the capital market is also increasingly acknowledging our focus on economic efficiency and liquidity,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\nTargets for financial year 2024\/25 achieved \u2013 sales and adjusted EBITDA margin <\/p>\n
\nmatch previous year\u2019s figure<\/p>\n
\nIn financial year 2024\/25, HEIDELBERG held its own in a difficult market environ-ment and met its targets. The adjusted EBITDA margin remained stable at 7.1 percent, for example, ending the financial year on a successful note. The cost-cutting and efficiency measures initiated by the company successfully compensated for a slightly lower volume of sales than in the previous year, rising wage costs, and ex-penses relating to the drupa trade show. In the fourth quarter alone, the adjusted EBITDA margin doubled compared with the previous year and reached around 10 percent. At \u20ac 2,280 million, sales were slightly down on the previous year\u2019s figure (\u20ac 2,395 million). Following a weak first quarter due to purchasing restraint ahead of the drupa industry trade show, sales during the financial year increased quarter by quarter and were particularly strong in the fourth quarter. The free cash flow was once again significantly positive at \u20ac 51 million (previous year: \u20ac 56 million).<\/p>\n
\nChina Print trade show\u2019s positive impact on orders creates basis for good start to FY 2025\/26 <\/p>\n
\nHEIDELBERG ended financial year 2024\/25 with a high level of incoming orders. In the fourth quarter, the figure of \u20ac 611 million for incoming orders was up on the previous quarters of the financial year. One reason for this is the company\u2019s global and diversified setup, which enables HEIDELBERG to benefit from the different growth dynamics in the individual regions. This is emphasized by the high level of incoming orders at May\u2019s China Print trade show, which will have a positive impact in the new financial year.<\/p>\n
\nDuring financial year 2024\/25 as a whole, HEIDELBERG generated incoming orders of around \u20ac 2,433 million, which was 6 percent up on the previous year\u2019s level (\u20ac 2,288 million). This also resulted in a corresponding big increase in the order backlog as at March 31, 2025 \u2013 from \u20ac 652 million on the same reference date the previous year to \u20ac 722 million. The Packaging Solutions and Print Solutions segments benefited from the product innovations presented at drupa. Their incoming orders for financial year 2024\/25 both increased \u2013 by around 7 percent to \u20ac 1,272 million for the Packaging Solutions segment and by about 6 percent to \u20ac 1,155 million for the Print Solutions segment.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThanks to the improving order situation and the positive momentum from the China Print trade show, we are expecting a better start to the new financial year than we had the previous year,\u201d said Dr. David Schmedding, Chief Technology & Sales Officer at HEIDELBERG. \u201cOur new portfolio of very large format presses for packaging reaf-firms our approach of gradually further expanding our portfolio in growth segments. By also incorporating automation, robotics, and software, we now offer customers integrated end-to-end solutions for the entire production process. Our aim as a system provider is to tap into the sizable potential in the growing packaging segment. All in all, we are therefore embarking on the new financial year full of confidence,\u201d he continued. <\/p>\n
\nOutlook for FY 2025\/26 \u2013 slight increase in sales expected and adjusted EBITDA margin set to rise to as much as around 8 percent<\/p>\n
\nIn view of macroeconomic developments, taking into account the various opportunities and risks, and assuming the global economy does not see weaker growth than predict-ed by the relevant institutions, the company is expecting sales of around \u20ac 2,350 million in financial year 2025\/26 (2024\/25: \u20ac 2,280 million). The EBITDA margin adjusted for special items is predicted to rise to as much as 8 percent (previ-ous year: 7.1 percent).<\/p>\n
\nThe changed segment structure at HEIDELBERG from April 1, 2025 means the company will, in the future, report figures for the Print & Packaging Equipment, Digi-tal Solutions & Lifecycle, and HEIDELBERG Technology segments. The purpose of this new segment structure is to strengthen the focus on product-oriented management in line with market and customer needs, and also on systematically taking responsibility for results. <\/p>\n
