SAF-HOLLAND SE Achieves Stable Profit Margins Amid Decreased Sales

SAF-HOLLAND SE began fiscal 2025 with steady adjusted EBIT margins, nearly matching the prior year's level. Despite this stability, group sales declined by 11.1% to EUR 449.2 million, largely due to diminishing demand in the Original Equipment segment. Notably, the aftermarket business proved resilient, maintaining a significant portion of sales at 37.8%.

The company reported a dip in adjusted EBIT to EUR 42.7 million, marking a 12.1% drop, yet maintaining a 9.5% EBIT margin. Currency fluctuations negatively impacted the financial outcomes, contributing to a lower net earnings of EUR 13.4 million.

Operating free cash flow showed improvement, reaching EUR +8.2 million. SAF-HOLLAND's outlook for 2025 remains positive, with projections for sales and EBIT margins roughly aligning with previous forecasts.
