Stabilus SE Initiates Transformation Program Amid Lower Profit Expectations

Stabilus SE's Management and Supervisory Boards have launched a comprehensive transformation program aimed at bolstering the company's long-term competitiveness. The program focuses on enhancing operational resilience and cost efficiency by optimizing organizational structure and reducing expenses.

Primarily scheduled for implementation in fiscal year 2026, the initiative aims to achieve substantial annual savings. By fiscal year 2027, savings are expected to reach €19 million, escalating to a recurring €32 million annually from fiscal year 2028 onwards. To facilitate this, a €18 million provision for restructuring costs will be recorded in 2025.

Despite these measures, Stabilus forecasts a decrease in group profit to approximately €25 million for fiscal year 2025, falling short of market expectations of €47.1 million. Revenue, adjusted EBIT margin, and adjusted free cash flow projections remain steady at €1.3 billion, 11%, and €105 million respectively.
