GESCO SE, listed on the Prime Standard, today published its 2025 Annual Report, thereby confirming the preliminary figures announced on 9 March 2026. The GESCO Group closed the 2025 financial year with sales of €495.0 million and EBIT of €15.5 million. Consolidated earnings after minority interests stood at €9.9 million (previous year: €4.4 million), with earnings per share rising accordingly to €0.96 (previous year: €0.42). Despite a challenging market environment overall, GESCO improved the quality of its earnings through a range of operational measures in its portfolio companies. The focus was on consistent cost and investment discipline, as well as the further development of the GESCO Business System (GBS). Equity rose to €272.6 million. The equity ratio thus stood at 60.9% at the end of the 2025 fiscal year. In view of the high geopolitical risks and the continuing weakness in demand, the Group’s focus will remain on securing and strengthening its financial and asset position.
Confident outlook for 2026 Despite the continuing very challenging operating environment, the Executive Board expects sales for the current fiscal year to rise to €515–530 million (2025: €495.0 million) and a significant improvement in consolidated earnings (after minority interests) to €15–20 million (2025: €9.9 million). The 2025 Annual Report is available at www.gesco.de/en/investor-relations/financial-reports. Today’s annual results press conference begins at 3.00 pm. A video recording of the press conference will be available shortly after the event on the GESCO website at www.gesco.de/en/investor-relations/financial-reports as well.
