Kontron, a global leader in IoT technology, announces preliminary financial results for the first nine months of 2025 in response to the recent, fundamentally unfounded decline in its share price and to prevent market speculation.
According to preliminary calculations, revenue in the first nine months of 2025 amounted to EUR 1,182 million compared to EUR 1,208 million in the same period of the previous year
and takes the discontinuation of the COM business into account. According to preliminary data, EBITDA for the first nine months increased to EUR 194 million, which corresponds to an increase of 37% compared to the previous year's figure of EUR 141 million. This includes a one-off effect of around EUR 46 million from the deconsolidation of the COM business. On an operating basis, EBITDA in the first nine months of the current financial year amounted to around EUR 148 million.
Revenue for the full year 2025 is affected by the discontinuation of the COM business and the focus on business with higher margins and is currently expected to be EUR 1.7 billion (previously EUR 1.8 billion). Management expects EBITDA to remain unchanged at around EUR 270 million. This includes approximately EUR 220 million in operating EBITDA as well as preliminary one-off income of around EUR 46 million from the portfolio adjustment.
Hannes Niederhauser, CEO of Kontron AG, comments: "We continue to see strong order intake with a book-to-bill >1x; especially in the areas of railway infrastructure, defense, aerospace and artificial intelligence."
Kontron will publish its full results for the first nine months of 2025 on November 5 as planned.
