GRAZ, FEBRUARY 6, 2026. International technology group ANDRITZ reported satisfactory preliminary financial results in 2025, despite macroeconomic headwinds and geopolitical challenges.
- Growth in order intake to 8.9 billion EUR (8.3 billion EUR in 2024)
- Strong book-to-bill ratio of 1.13
- Moderate revenue decline (-5%) despite a significantly negative impact from the strong euro
- Capacities further adjusted in the Pulp & Paper and Metals business areas
- Comparable EBITA margin stable on high level at 8.9%
In a still challenging market environment, ANDRITZ Group reported an order intake of 8.9 billion EUR for the full year 2025, representing a book-to-bill ratio of 1.13 and a noticeable increase compared to 2024 (8.3 billion EUR).
Due to cyclical challenges in the pulp & paper industry and structural changes in the Metals market environment, ANDRITZ has continued to adapt its capacities, while expanding in Hydropower at the same time. The comparable EBITA margin amounted to a strong 8.9% despite a 5% decline in revenues to approximately 7.9 billion EUR. This is a satisfactory outcome considering significantly negative foreign exchange translation effects for the year 2025 as a whole.
For the full year 2026, ANDRITZ expects project activity to remain at the current level and for revenue growth to be sustained. Based on the high order backlog and strong growth in the Hydropower business, ANDRITZ foresees revenues in a range of 8.0 to 8.3 billion EUR in 2026. The comparable EBITA margin is expected to remain at a high level, in the range of 8.7 to 9.1%.
ANDRITZ CEO Joachim Schönbeck commented: “I am proud of how our organization has been able to cope with a rapidly changing environment and support our customers in challenging times. We are happy with the growth in order intake and our solid profitability.”
