Vesuvius: profit in 2025 down 17% due to steel crisis in Europe

Vesuvius reported an operating profit for fiscal 2025 down 17% on a like‑for‑like basis to £151.1m, on a slight revenue increase of 0.7% to £1,809.5m. The main cause was weak demand in the EMEA region, which accounted for 80% of the profit decline, while Asia recorded market share gains. The company slightly increased the dividend, accelerated cost reductions and launched 24 new products, views 2026 as a transition year and expects a recovery from 2027. Net debt rose after two acquisitions to £452.4m (2.0x EBITDA), but management aims to reduce leverage in the second half of 2026. » More on de.investing.com
