Koenig & Bauer ( (DE:SKB) ) has provided an update.
Koenig & Bauer AG reported preliminary 2025 results showing group revenue up 2.2% to €1.30bn, with both its Special & New Technologies and Paper & Packaging Sheetfed Systems segments contributing to growth. Operating EBIT rose to €36.6m, within the company’s guidance, while extraordinary items dropped sharply, lifting overall EBIT to €31.3m and helping generate a slightly positive free cash flow for the year.
Order intake declined 12.1% from the prior year’s strong level, mainly due to a high comparison base in security printing orders, but the order backlog remained historically high at €970.6m. For 2026, Koenig & Bauer expects stable revenue and operating performance despite volatile geopolitical conditions, will shift its guidance metric from operating EBIT to operating EBITDA, and targets roughly €80m in operating EBITDA, with detailed guidance to follow in March.
