An international industrial and technology group Thyssenkrupp AG has reported a stable performance in 2025 with better earnings that offset a decline in sales in the wake of a challenging market environment.
The company’s order intake grew 15% over the prior year and amounted to €37.7 billion, while sales declined 6% to €32.8 billion amid a persistently difficult market environment.
Adjusted EBIT increased to €640 million compared to €567 million in a prior year, bringing a positive free cash flow to €363 million.
At the same time, the metals and technology conglomerate’s strategic goal is the transformation into a financial holding company, while the businesses are to be transitioned to stand-alone solutions that are open to third-party investment. Thyssenkrupp business model is concentrated in five segments: automotive technology, decarbonisation, materials services, European steelmaking industry and marine systems.
"We made key decisions for the transformation of Thyssenkrupp in the past fiscal year," said Miguel López, CEO of Thyssenkrupp AG.
"Following this year of decisions, we are now putting all our effort into their continuing implementation. We will be using the coming years to consistently drive forward with transforming Thyssenkrupp into a financial holding company with majority investments in high-performing, independent companies."
Meanwhile, just recently, the company was awarded top marks in a climate ranking compiled by the world’s leading non-profit environmental organization CDP, which secured it a place on the annual Climate A List among 877 other international companies.
