Revenue for the six-month period grew by 21.5% to €620 million, while adjusted EBIT rose by 29.4% to €89 million. The adjusted EBIT margin improved to 14.4% from 13.5% a year earlier.
“Our performance in the first half of the year underscores RENK’s strong position. We are fully focusing on purposeful participation in European and global security. The RENK Group plays a key role, thanks to its technology leadership, operational excellence and clear strategic direction. Our profitable growth is in line with strong demand for our mission-critical products. We are well prepared to meet this increasing demand reliably and efficiently,” said CEO of the RENK Group AG Dr. Alexander Sagel.
The Vehicle Mobility Solutions segment remained the main growth driver, with order intake increasing by 65.9% to €681 million and revenue rising by 32% to €389 million. Adjusted EBIT in this segment grew by 45.3% to €67 million, lifting the margin to 17.1%, supported by a USD 99 million repeat order for RENK America from a long-standing defence customer.
In the Marine & Industry segment, order intake rose by 16.4% to €183 million and revenue increased by 8.7% to €176 million. Adjusted EBIT reached €19 million, up 16.1% year on year, with the margin improving slightly to 10.7%.
The Slide Bearings segment saw order intake fall by 5.5% to €66 million, but revenue edged up by 2.6% to €63 million. Adjusted EBIT declined by 5.4% to €10 million, though the margin of 16.6% remained above the Group average.
“We consistently pursued our profitable growth trajectory in the first half of this year and further improved the Group-level margin through increased revenue and strict cost management,” said CFO of the RENK Group AG Anja Mänz-Siebje.
The Management Board confirmed its forecast for the full year 2025, expecting revenue to exceed €1.3 billion and adjusted EBIT to be between €210 million and €235 million. This outlook does not include additional potential from future German and European defence procurement projects.
