R. Stahl AG Reports Decline in 2025 Sales Due to Weak Demand
R. Stahl AG experienced a challenging 2025, with group sales falling by 9.1% to €313.0 million. Order intake also dropped to €306.5 million, down from €327.6 million the previous year. Despite these challenges, the company maintained stable EBITDA pre exceptionals at €34.4 million, aided by one-time positive items.
The decline in demand, visible since mid-2024, impacted sales throughout 2025, with the most significant decline occurring after Q1. Consequently, the order backlog decreased to €90.9 million. Profitability improved slightly, with the EBITDA margin rising to 11.0% from 10.0% the previous year.
Free cash flow declined sharply to €-0.3 million due to lower net profit and increased working capital. Nevertheless, R. Stahl remains optimistic, launching its NEXUS future program aimed at becoming a global solutions provider in explosion protection.
