Revenue and results of the machine factory Berthold HERMLE AG could develop significantly better in the overall year 2025 than previously expected. The reason for this is new large orders from abroad, some of which come from companies with a start-up character and are associated with corresponding opportunities and risks. The new orders are to be delivered by the end of the year. Therefore, HERMLE's outlook for the entire year has improved significantly. Specifically, the Swabian machine tool and automation specialist now expects revenue in 2025 to reach nearly the previous year's level or, in the best case, be slightly above it. Until now, a decline in the range of the upper single-digit percentage to 15% was expected. However, due to the various burdens from bureaucratic requirements and unfulfilled reform promises, wage and energy price increases, pressure on the industrial location Germany, as well as currency shifts, the operating result is still expected to decrease by 25% to 30%. A reduction of 40% to 80% had previously been anticipated.
The figures on business development in the first nine months of 2025 will be published on November 19, 2025, in the interim report for the second half of the year.
