Bertrandt looks back on a challenging first nine months of fiscal year 2025/2026. The market environment continued to be shaped by macroeconomic uncertainties, geopolitical tensions, protectionist measures, and industry-specific challenges within the automotive sector. At the same time, the market for research and development services remained fundamentally intact. The persistently high volume of customer inquiries and quotations, together with strong order intake, underscores Bertrandt’s positive medium- to long-term market opportunities.

Quarterly Report

The Bertrandt Group looks back on a challenging first half of fiscal year 2025/2026. Persistently difficult framework conditions — particularly in the automotive sector — have so far prevented the higher order backlog compared to the prior year from translating into the anticipated increase of actual customer call-offs.

Financial reports

The opening quarter of the 2025/2026 fiscal year for the Bertrandt Group was characterized by heterogeneous, yet overall constructive macroeconomic conditions. Total sales declined to EUR 234.052 million during the reporting period compared to the prior year. At the same time, EBIT increased significantly, confirming the effectiveness of the “Fit for Future” performance improvement program as well as additional cost reduction measures implemented across the company.

Quarterly report

The demanding conditions and challenges, particularly in the German automotive market, have not only impacted Bertrandt's performance in the first half of 2024/2025. As a result, the extent and timing of the market recovery and improvement in capacity utilization in the second half of 2024/2025 anticipated in the previous forecast can be estimated less reliably than before. The company has therefore adjusted its forecast for the 2024/2025 financial year and continued to systematically implement the "Fit for Future" earnings optimization program.

Quarterly report

As expected, the market environment in Bertrandt's customer industries remained challenging in the first quarter of fiscal 2024/2025. Total revenues amounted to EUR 266.451 million in the first quarter of 2024/20025, benefiting from the growing international business. The implementation of the “Fit for Future” earnings optimization program was continued consistently and has already had a positive impact.

Bertrandt AG's fiscal year began in October 2023 under tense geopolitical and challenging global economic conditions. Since the beginning of the second quarter, the Group has observed reduced demand for capacity, which has had a temporary negative impact on the Company's capacity utilization. As a result, growth in total revenues slowed to three percent to EUR 921.6 million after three quarters in the 2023/2024 financial year.
