MS Industrie AG publishes Q1-2025 Key Figures

 

• Limited comparability with the same quarter of the previous year
• Overall result still negative incl. start-up costs USA
• Significant increase in order backlog
• Increase in sales forecast for 2025 to EUR 150 million

MS Industrie AG's consolidated revenue for the first quarter of 2025 of around EUR 36 million (previous year: around EUR 54 million) decreased as expected, in particular due to the sale of the majority of the “MS Ultrasonic” division in mid-2024. In this respect, the comparison with all other key figures in the income statement with the first quarter of the previous year is only of limited significance.

The overall result (EAT) was still negative at around EUR -1.3 million; it should be noted that the ramp-up of customer call-offs to a low normal level has been taking place gradually since the beginning of 2025 and that the result also includes initial costs of around EUR 0.4 million for the ramp-up of the new US plant in Charlotte (North Carolina).

The significant increase in order backlogs in the main segment MS XTEC for the next six months by +12% since the balance sheet date to around EUR 81 million at the end of the first quarter of 2025 was clearly positive. The management board attributes this mainly to the completion of the reduction of excessive inventories at the largest customers, some of which date back to the time of the supply chain problems. Dr. Andreas Aufschnaiter, member of the management board of MS Industrie AG: "Due to the visibility now available, the sales outlook for the entire financial year 2025 has been raised from EUR 145 million to around EUR 150 million. In this respect, we are cautious but optimistic about the future."
