It is not yet possible to predict to what extent the latest negotiation outcomes between the EU and the USA will contribute in influencing customers' investment decisions in the short term. Geopolitical risks also persist in Europe, the Middle East and other parts of the world. Material shortages and problems in global supply chains as a result of trade conflicts and military action remain a source of uncertainty. Based on the current expected development of the markets relevant to Krones, and after the positive first half-year, the company confirms its financial targets for the full year 2025, despite the global uncertainties. The Executive Board expects consolidated revenue growth of 7% to 9%. On the basis of increasing revenue, an ongoing disciplined price strategy and continued implementation of the efficiency and cost optimisation measures, Krones plans to improve profitability again this year compared to 2024. The company forecasts an EBITDA margin at group level of 10.2% to 10.8%.
