SAF-HOLLAND Revises 2025 Forecast Amid Weak North American Market

SAF-HOLLAND SE, headquartered in Bessenbach, Germany, has updated its sales forecast for fiscal year 2025. This adjustment is due to ongoing challenges within the North American market, influenced by US trade policy and uncertainties surrounding the EPA27 emissions standards for trucks.

The company now anticipates Group sales of approximately EUR 1.8 billion, down from an earlier estimate of EUR 1.85 to 2.00 billion. The revised expectations stem from weakened commercial vehicle markets in North America and Asia, crucial regions for SAF-HOLLAND.

Additionally, the projected EBIT margin has been adjusted to around 9.3%, a slight decrease from the previously anticipated range of 9.0% to 10.0%. The investment ratio target remains at up to 3.0% of Group sales.

Preliminary results for the first half of 2025 show an 11.9% decline in sales to EUR 891.6 million. This decrease is attributed to subdued demand in the original equipment segment. The adjusted EBIT fell by 19.3% to EUR 83.0 million.
