SMT Scharf AG Reports Strong Q1 2025 Results with Revenue Growth

SMT Scharf AG has released its financial results for the first quarter of 2025, highlighting a significant increase in consolidated revenue to EUR 22.9 million, an 83.2% jump from EUR 12.5 million in Q1 2024. The full consolidation of Shandong Xinsha Monorail Co., Ltd., since November 2024, and growth in the Tunnel Logistics segment primarily drove this increase. Operating earnings improved to EUR 1.2 million, up from a loss of EUR 1.0 million in the previous year, reflecting an EBIT margin improvement from -6.8% to 4.4%.

The company accomplished significant revenue growth in its Chinese market, with sales reaching EUR 9.5 million, positioning China as the strongest market. Meanwhile, sales in Poland and revenue from coal mining showed a decline. However, the Tunnel Logistics segment's revenue surged to EUR 5.2 million from EUR 0.0 million a year ago.

Despite challenging market conditions, SMT Scharf AG's strategic initiatives and integration with Yankuang Energy and Shandong Energy Group are expected to yield new opportunities. Revenue for 2025 is forecasted to be between EUR 110 million and EUR 130 million, with anticipated operating earnings between EUR 5.5 million and EUR 7.5 million, sustained by Xinsha's full-year consolidation.
