Stabilus SE adopts a transformation program to strengthen its long-term competitiveness and expects Group profit below market expectations; guidance confirmed

Koblenz, September 18, 2025 – The Management Board and the Supervisory Board of Stabilus SE (WKN: STAB1L, ISIN:DE000STAB1L8) have adopted a transformation program to enhance its operational resilience and cost efficiency, thereby strengthening the company’s long-term competitiveness. The program focuses on organizational streamlining, reducing personnel and operational expenses, and optimization of production footprint.

The implementation will mainly take place in the fiscal year 2026 and is expected to generate savings of around €19 million in fiscal year 2027 and recurring annual cost savings of around €32 million from fiscal year 2028 onwards. In connection with its implementation, a provision of approximately €18 million for one-off restructuring expenses will be recognized in the current fiscal year 2025 in accordance with IAS 37. The related cash outflows will occur mainly in fiscal year 2026. 

Based on these developments, the Management Board now expects Group profit in fiscal year 2025 to amount to around €25 million, which is below current market expectations (last Vara consensus: €47.1 million). The Management Board confirms its forecasts for revenue, adjusted EBIT margin and adjusted free cash flow (FCF). For fiscal year 2025, revenue of c. €1.3 billion, adjusted EBIT margin of c. 11% and adjusted FCF of c. €105 million are expected.

To provide further details on the transformation program, Stabilus will host an analyst and investor web conference on Friday, September 19, 2025, at 10:30 CEST (webcast: https://www.webcast-eqs.com/login/stabilus-202509, telephone dial-in: https://webcast.meetyoo.de/reg/iRgHB4AVUlbJ).
