3U HOLDING AG has released preliminary, unaudited figures for the financial year 2025 along with its outlook for 2026, revealing a transitional year marked by strategic realignment and investments that temporarily impacted profitability while setting the stage for anticipated growth. The company reported consolidated revenue of approximately €53.0 million for 2025, slightly below the previous year's €55.7 million, while EBITDA declined to around €-3.7 million compared to €3.8 million in 2024. This result was attributed to higher expenses, restructuring measures particularly in the HVAC segment, and investments in growth initiatives.
The ITC segment generated sales revenue of €13.2 million in 2025, significantly lower than the €19.2 million recorded in the previous year, primarily due to the virtual discontinuation of the Voice Retail business and strategic adjustments. Despite the revenue decline, segment EBITDA remained at a sound level of approximately €2.8 million, with the company emphasizing profitable product segments and expansion of Managed Services activities. The Renewable Energies segment reported a slight revenue decrease to around €4.6 million from €4.8 million, mainly due to conversion work associated with the Langendorf Wind Farm repowering project, though EBITDA remained strong at €2.9 million.
In the HVAC segment, revenue increased to approximately €36.2 million from €32.5 million, largely due to the acquisition and integration of the EMPUR Group. However, organic growth remained notably below previous levels due to a difficult market environment, subdued construction activities, and customer uncertainty. Segment EBITDA dropped to around €-6.4 million from €-2.0 million, resulting from increased personnel expenses, higher consultancy costs, and non-recurrent restructuring expenses of approximately €1.2 million. The company has implemented measures including a focused product portfolio and optimized procurement processes to improve profitability gradually.
Despite the challenging 2025 results, the Management Board views the company's position favorably for 2026, anticipating significant improvements in revenue and profitability. For the full year 2026, the company projects consolidated revenue in the range of €55.0 million to €60.0 million and EBITDA between €6.0 million and €8.0 million, representing an EBITDA margin of approximately 12%. The Renewable Energies segment is expected to more than double its sales revenue to over €10.0 million with EBITDA around €8.0 million, while the ITC segment should maintain revenue at approximately €13.0 million with higher EBITDA of €3.5 million. The HVAC segment is projected to deliver sales revenue of around €35.0 million with improved but still negative EBITDA of approximately €-1.0 million.
The final, audited figures for 2025 will be published on 31 March 2026 along with the Annual Report, with further details available through the company's reporting channels.

These developments have implications for investors and industry observers tracking the German technology and renewable energy sectors. The strategic realignment across segments, particularly the completion of the Langendorf Wind Farm repowering project and integration of recent acquisitions, positions 3U HOLDING AG for potential recovery and growth in 2026. The projected doubling of revenue in the Renewable Energies segment reflects the increasing importance of sustainable energy investments, while the continued focus on profitable ITC business lines demonstrates adaptive strategy in competitive technology markets. The HVAC segment's ongoing challenges highlight broader market conditions affecting construction and climate control industries, making the company's turnaround efforts in this area particularly noteworthy for sector analysis.
