Deutz returns: profit increase reduced despite sales forecast!
Cologne's engine manufacturer Deutz is once again full of momentum in the third quarter of 2025. With a noticeable increase in daily business, the company has managed to return to profitability. The driving force was, among other things, the increasing revenues, which climbed to an impressive 493.3 million euros from July to September - an increase of almost 15 percent compared to the previous year Ariva reported.
But despite this positive development, there are also light and shadows. CEO Sebastian Schulte has lowered the sales forecast for the entire year and now only expects the lower end of the range of 2.1 to 2.3 billion euros. The construction machinery and agricultural technology markets have not yet fully recovered, so Deutz continues to be in demand Exchange Express determines.
A look at the numbers
Adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) increased to 28.4 million euros, which is almost four times higher than in the previous year. Even more encouraging is the net profit, which is 12.3 million euros, compared to a loss of two million euros in the same period last year. These figures show that Deutz is well positioned despite challenging market conditions.
In order to remain viable for the future, Deutz has significantly adjusted its strategy. The company is expanding its activities beyond the traditional engine business and has already made several acquisitions. The takeover of the Sobek Group, which specializes in drive technologies for drones, was completed in September. The Cologne-based company is also pursuing the OnSite Diesel takeover in Texas, which is intended to strengthen the service portfolio. Another strategic step is the planned investment in ARX Robotics for innovative robotics applications, such as Exchange Express reported.
A positive outlook
Despite the challenges, Deutz is also showing promising order development. In the first nine months, the company recorded sales growth of over one billion euros, with new orders up 30 percent compared to the previous year. The adjusted EBIT margin is 4.4 percent despite weak demand, which analysts see as a sign of efficient operational management. The share has also stabilized and is currently trading at 8.80 euros, which is above the low of under 4 euros in October 2024.
It remains to be seen how the “POWERING PROGRESS” strategy will continue to unfold. Deutz definitely has the reins - now it's time to further expand on the positive trends and make the best possible use of the market conditions. For the coming months, clear signals about long-term stability and expansion are required in order to successfully complete the transformation and act in a future-oriented manner.
