Steyr Motors Reports Double-Digit Growth in 2025 and Projects Strong Expansion for 2026

Steyr Motors AG closed the 2025 financial year with positive operational developments in its Civil and Defense business segments, achieving its revenue and earnings targets set out in the revised forecast issued in the fourth quarter of 2025. Based on preliminary and unaudited figures, the company generated EUR 48.5 million in revenue, representing a 16.4% increase from the previous year's figure of EUR 41.7 million. Growth was driven by increased sales of engines as well as increases in the spare parts and engineering business, with revenue from the Civil segment totaling EUR 19.6 million and revenue from the Defense segment amounting to EUR 28.8 million.

In terms of earnings, Steyr Motors generated an EBIT of EUR 5.8 million, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 11.9%, while adjusted EBIT amounted to EUR 7.0 million, corresponding to an adjusted EBIT margin of 14.5%. The difference between EBIT and adjusted EBIT is primarily due to one-time costs for M&A consulting and capital market-related effects. Operational and strategic highlights in 2025 include numerous new contracts generating additional sales potential that substantially exceeds the previously communicated order backlog. New strategic framework agreements with partners such as Rheinmetall Landsysteme GmbH and Laborde Products Inc. strengthen the company's international presence.

Of particular note is the signing of a multi-year framework agreement with Asian distribution partner Trysun for the Asian marine market, with a guaranteed minimum volume of 750 engines by 2030, as well as the operational launch of a joint venture in China. Steyr Motors' C2 emissions certification, announced in September 2025, opens up further revenue potential of at least EUR 100 million in the world's largest shipbuilding market. Other growth steps include successful market entry in Poland, new marine supply agreements in several European countries and Asia, and a significant new customer order from India. Additionally, new customers were acquired, particularly in the US, and the presence in the MENA region was expanded.

Steyr Motors has also established a new business segment focused on mobile power generation, with projected cumulative revenue in excess of EUR 100 million by 2030. The new power units are tailored for mission-critical defense scenarios, such as anti-drone defense systems, energy solutions for military and special operations, and base camps, with series production scheduled to begin in the second half of 2026. In addition, the company has identified new opportunities in the US beyond its existing applications for the supply of engines for unmanned watercraft, thereby positioning itself in a new, promising defense market for unmanned surface vehicles used for reconnaissance, surveillance, patrols, and mine detection.

For the 2026 financial year, the Management Board expects revenue to increase to EUR 75-95 million, with the EBIT margin expected to be at least 15%. This projected growth will be driven by intensified sales and marketing activities in Asia, the MENA region, and North America, with additional momentum from the new business area of mobile energy generation and expansion in unmanned watercraft. Julian Cassutti, CEO of Steyr Motors, commented that the company is seeing a sustained positive trend in order intake, with an order backlog of over EUR 300 million providing high visibility until the end of 2030 and numerous opportunities beyond the current budget with a volume of over EUR 500 million. The medium-term forecast for the 2027 financial year remains unchanged.
