Bertrandt

Bertrandt reports a challenging automotive market with low short-term visibility for the first nine months of 2025/2026, while at the same time registering a significantly higher order intake. Total performance fell to 671,638 TEUR (previous year 741,983 TEUR); EBIT improved to -28,911 TEUR thanks to the result-optimization program “Fit for Future,” whose annual savings now exceed EUR 120 million. The company is advancing diversification into sectors such as aerospace and defence, energy, the electrical industry and medical technology, and is more optimistic about the fourth quarter. » Mais em finanzen.net

Bertrandt again recorded revenue declines and losses in the first half of 2025/26 after German automakers postponed projects and implemented cost-cutting programmes. The share fell in two and a half years from over €50 to under €9, and headcount dropped from 14,400 to 11,700. The crisis among automotive developers is affecting the whole sector: competitors such as IAV, FEV and Formel D also report losses and restructurings, while many service providers are trying to open up new business areas in aviation, energy and defence. » Mais em wiwo.de

In the first half of 2025/26, Bertrandt reports a continued decline in sales and losses because German automakers are postponing projects and running cost‑cutting programmes. The stock fell within two and a half years from over €50 to under €9, and the workforce dropped from 14,400 to 11,700 employees. Management is seeking new business areas outside core automotive contracts, while further restructurings and job cuts threaten the industry. » Mais em wiwo.de

Engineering service provider Bertrandt reported a first-half loss of €18.483 million after about €14 million a year earlier. Revenue fell roughly 12% to about €455 million, weighed down by project delays, the crisis in the automotive sector and geopolitical tensions such as the Iran conflict. The company employed 11,744 people, with 1,437 positions eliminated year-on-year, 1,344 of them in Germany. » Mais em finanzen.net

Bertrandt reports for H1 2025/2026 a decline in total output to 456,702 TEUR and an EBIT of -13,123 TEUR. Despite a higher order backlog, customer call‑offs and utilization fell short of expectations, prompting the executive board to revise the full‑year forecast from a moderate increase to a moderate decline in total output. The company reduced staff by 1,437 to 11,744 and has already achieved savings of more than EUR 120m p.a. through the Fit for Future program; further savings of around EUR 15m are expected for H2. The forecast of a substantial increase in operating cash flow remains in place, while Bertrandt is pushing diversification into non‑automotive business (target 20–25%). » Mais em finanzen.net
