SFC Energy AG Reports Strong Foundation for 2025 Growth

SFC Energy AG has laid a robust foundation for growth in the first quarter of 2025, maintaining its expansion course and full-year targets despite a year-on-year decline in sales and earnings. Sales reached EUR 38,620 thousand, a slight 3.6% decrease from Q1 2024, largely due to a major project in India during the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA and EBIT also saw reductions, with margins at 16.4% and 11.7% respectively.

Regional growth was notable, with Europe seeing a 34% rise and the United States a 61% increase in sales, albeit influenced by anticipation of import tariffs. The company expects further gains this year from new hydrogen fuel cell ventures in Scandinavia and defense sector orders. The Clean Energy segment, while seeing a 7.8% dip, remained the largest contributor to sales.

The company's strong first-quarter performance supports its projections for 2025, with full-year sales expected to be between EUR 160.6 million and EUR 180.9 million. SFC Energy maintains a stable gross margin of approximately 44%, providing a solid basis for continued growth.
