PVA TePla Reports Strong 2025 Order Intake Despite Revenue Decline, Forecasts Growth for 2026 and Beyond

PVA TePla AG concluded the 2025 fiscal year with a substantial rise in order intake, establishing a robust foundation for future business expansion, though operational performance was adversely affected by delays in project realization and acceptance. Preliminary, unaudited figures indicate the Group generated revenue of approximately €244 million, a decrease from the previous year's €270.1 million, while earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) were around €25 million, down from €47.8 million. However, order intake for the entire year surged to about €268 million, surpassing the previous year's €150.6 million and exceeding annual revenue, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio above 1 that underscores growing demand for the company's solutions.

Markus Groß, CFO of PVA TePla, attributed the revenue and earnings impact in 2025 to project-related delays stemming from trade policy uncertainties, but noted that demand had already increased significantly. He stated, "For 2026, we expect steady progress in project realization. At the same time, we are continuing to systematically focus our product portfolio on growth areas and increase our efficiency. The associated structural measures will continue to have an impact on earnings, but at the same time lay the foundation for a sustainable improvement in profitability." CEO Jalin Ketter added, "Our strong order intake in 2025 is a clear signal of the attractiveness of our product portfolio and the competitiveness of our technologies. We are seeing continued high customer interest in our solutions, particularly in the metrology sector. With a well-filled order pipeline and project processing returning to normal, we expect to see a slight increase in revenue in 2026 and a significant upturn in business from 2027 onwards."

Based on the current order situation, PVA TePla anticipates consolidated revenue for fiscal year 2026 to range between €255 million and €275 million, with EBITDA projected to be €26 million to €31 million. Management foresees a noticeable acceleration in business development starting in 2027, expecting Group revenue to exceed €300 million that year alongside a return to significant double-digit growth rates that should persist in subsequent years. The company remains dedicated to its strategic objective of increasing Group revenue to approximately €500 million in the medium term. All reported results are preliminary and unaudited; the final audited figures for fiscal year 2025 and the annual report will be released on March 19, 2026.
