Preliminary results 2025: SBO delivers solid performance despite very
challenging market conditions
SBO AG, listed in the leading index ATX of the Vienna Stock Exchange,
today published its preliminary results for the financial year 2025.
Market conditions were characterized by oversupply in the oil market,
geopolitical uncertainties, evolving tariff environment, and low oil
prices. These factors led to reduced customer spendings over the course of
the year and, consequently, a decline in demand.
As a result, SBO generated sales of MEUR 455 (2024: MEUR 560.4). Earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to
MEUR 71, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 16% (2024: MEUR 101.9;
18.2%). Profit from operations (EBIT) reached MEUR 38 with an EBIT margin
of 8.4% (2024: MEUR 70.1; 12.5%). Profit before tax totaled MEUR 32 (2024:
MEUR 63.6). The financial position remained sound, reflected in a high
level of liquid funds, which amounted to MEUR 281 at year-end (2024: MEUR
314.7). This enabled SBO to continue investing in the execution of its
strategy.
Bookings for the full year amounted to MEUR 406 (2024: MEUR 483.7). In the
fourth quarter alone, bookings amounted to MEUR 99, around 10% above the
low point reached in the third quarter of 2025.
Klaus Mader, CEO of SBO, states: “In the challenging market environment of
2025, we demonstrated our ability to manage through cycles. Our measures
were clearly focused on efficiency and cost discipline, enabling us to
achieve an EBITDA margin of 16% even under these difficult conditions. At
the same time, we execute on our long-term strategic initiatives. Tangible
progress is visible across all four strategic pillars – diversification,
market expansion, technology leadership, and operational excellence. This
strengthens our positioning and creates a stable foundation for
sustainable growth across market cycles.”
Note: All figures for 2025 are provisional and rounded. The 2025 results
will be presented at the annual results press conference on 19 March 2026.
