PFISTERER Holding SE released preliminary unaudited figures for fiscal year 2025, demonstrating continued growth and positive operational development. The results exceeded management expectations, with group sales increasing by approximately 17% to EUR 450 million compared to EUR 383.1 million in the prior year. The fourth quarter showed particularly strong performance with 25% sales growth, reaching EUR 120 million versus EUR 98 million in the same period last year.
The company's order intake rose significantly by around 30% to just under EUR 550 million, up from EUR 423.2 million in the previous year. This strong performance resulted in an order backlog of nearly EUR 335 million as of December 31, 2025, representing a more than 40% increase year-over-year from EUR 234.9 million. This substantial backlog provides an excellent foundation for future revenue growth and indicates sustained demand for PFISTERER's products and services.
Profitability metrics showed even stronger growth than sales figures. Adjusted EBITDA reached approximately EUR 80 million, representing growth of over 24% from the prior year's EUR 64.6 million. The company maintained its positive trajectory from previous years, with adjusted operating cash flow increasing to around EUR 58 million compared to EUR 42.6 million in fiscal year 2024. Investments were significantly increased to more than EUR 38 million, primarily directed toward expanding production capacities, building an HVDC laboratory, and completing the acquisition of Power CSL.
The company's workforce grew by 11.2% during the year to 1,378 employees, reflecting the organization's expansion and increased operational requirements. Johannes Linden, member of the Management Board Spokesperson of PFISTERER Holding SE, explained the company's strategic approach: "We pursue a balanced approach when managing growth and profitability. Our strategic focus is on strengthening capacities in our core segments and markets, the extension of our global presence as well as the consequent development of technological innovations such as in the field of high-voltage-direct-current transmission technology (HVDC)."
These preliminary figures are subject to ongoing review and assessment by auditors, with final audited results for fiscal year 2025 and an outlook for 2026 scheduled for release on April 15, 2026. The company's performance reflects both favorable market conditions and successful execution of its growth strategy. PFISTERER's focus on high-voltage-direct-current transmission technology positions the company to benefit from global trends toward renewable energy integration and grid modernization.
