Steyr, Austria, 31 July 2025 – Steyr Motors AG ([1]ISIN AT0000A3FW25),
one of the world’s leading companies in the field of customized engines
for mission-critical defense and civil applications, today presented its
figures for the first half of 2025. Thanks to targeted investments in
personnel expansion, material stockpiling, and the enhancements of
production capacities, the company was able to continue its revenue growth
while laying the foundation for further earnings growth throughout the
year.
Steyr Motors achieved a 17.1% increase in revenue to EUR 23.1 million in
the first half of 2025 (previous year: EUR 19.7 million), which is in line
with its plans. EBIT amounted to EUR 3.4 million, corresponding to a
margin of 14.8%. The development of earnings reflects the targeted
expansion of capacities, particularly in terms of personnel and material
reserves. Consequently, personnel and material expenses are higher than in
the same period last year. These measures serve to secure international
competitiveness and, in particular, to prepare for the upcoming strong
production ramp-up in order to process the high order backlog.
Additionally, high-margin engineering revenue with a key customer falls
into the second half of the year due to the reporting date, which will be
evident in rising profitability levels over the course of the year. With
the successful expansion of capacity, the company is well positioned to
grow in the second half of the year as planned, achieving significantly
higher profitability and accelerating its growth momentum.
Order intake developed particularly dynamically in the first half of the
year, rising significantly compared to the previous year. Of particular
note is the exceptionally high visibility, which already enables Steyr
Motors to plan confidently for the medium-term future. New strategic
framework agreements with renowned partners such as Rheinmetall
Landsysteme GmbH (Germany), Laborde Products Inc. (USA), Ghatge Patil
Industries (India), as well as new customers in Latin America and Asia
strengthen Steyr Motors AG’s international presence for both civilian and
defense-related applications and confirm the effectiveness of its global
business development strategy. The total order backlog has increased to
over EUR 300 million by 2030. This clearly signals the company’s
sustainable positioning in international competition and a more than solid
foundation for foreseeable, organic growth in the coming years.
Beyond the existing order backlog, there are additional tangible
opportunities with existing customers to increase order intake in the
short term substantially. An example of this is the planned procurement as
part of an EU initiative by the German Ministry of Defense, which is
currently considering the purchase of around 2,500 armored vehicles and
approximately 1,000 Leopard 2 battle tanks for the establishment of a new
NATO brigade. The resulting potential orders are not yet included in the
order backlog or in the current outlook and, according to the company’s
estimates, offer further revenue potential of around EUR 100 million.
This also demonstrates the momentum generated by ongoing international
defense initiatives. Persistent geopolitical uncertainty has led to rising
global demand, particularly in the defense sector, with Europe, the US,
and India leading the way.
At the same time, the company is conducting a feasibility study on
establishing local production in Southeast Asia, which has the potential
to produce up to 3,000 units annually. This additional revenue, not yet
included in the order backlog, amounts to approximately EUR 100 million by
2030, underscoring the attractive long-term expansion opportunities.
Julian Cassutti, CEO of Steyr Motors AG: “We are investing specifically in
people, structures, and markets, and we are already seeing the first
results from our efforts this year. The strong order intake and high
visibility for the coming years provide the planning security necessary
for continued profitable growth. Looking ahead to the second half of the
year, we expect a significant increase in profitability, particularly
through the implementation of several high-margin projects.”
In light of solid operational performance, continued ramp-up of existing
programs, and sustained strong demand, the Management Board reaffirms its
outlook for the 2025 financial year. It continues to expect revenue growth
of at least 40% and an EBIT margin of above 20%.
