Bechtle Reports Second-Quarter Recovery

Bechtle AG announced a recovery in the second quarter of 2025 with a 5.1% growth in business volume, reaching €1,925.5 million, and revenues of €1,487.2 million, marking a 0.8% increase. Earnings before taxes (EBT) stood at €66.8 million, lower than the previous year but showing improvement from the first quarter.

International growth was robust at 9.1%, especially driven by the Benelux countries and the UK. Germany's public sector also contributed positively. Operating cash flow stabilized to €45.2 million after last year's peak. Bechtle's organic workforce grew by 0.5% to 15,608 employees, highlighting its investment in young talents.

Despite challenging economic conditions in Germany and France, Bechtle remains optimistic, anticipating accelerated growth in late summer. The forecasts for 2025 are confirmed, with business volume expected to rise modestly while revenue growth may lag behind due to strong software business performance.
