Michael Büchsner
CEO & Member of Management Board
Thank you very much, and welcome to our Full Year 2025 Call. My name is Michael Buchsner. I’m the CEO of the Stabilus Group.
And today, you have, as always, with me, Andreas Schroder, Investor Relations, but this time around, first time also in the discussion, Andreas Jaeger, our new CFO. I’ll introduce him at a later stage, and then he for sure, will also take part actively of the discussion. He will lead us through the financial portion, so the details by region, business unit and other factors he’ll talk about a bit. And then, he will also talk about a little bit CapEx, expenditures we did, net working capital. So, all the finance-related points he’ll touch upon. And I’m really happy to have him as part of the Stabilus Group now.
But before we go that route, let me confirm the 2025 preliminary results. We all know it’s a very challenging environment we are in. And we did release our preliminary results already on November 10. And here as we confirm all these numbers, we’ve been in a very stable process to close the year and also in a very, very stable financial position as a group, because in a very challenging environment, we achieved EUR 1.3 billion in terms of sales and an adjusted EBIT margin of 11%, which is outstanding given the market circumstances and it leaves us with free cash flow of EUR 119
