Revenue Growth: MBB reported a strong 13% increase in 9-month revenue to EUR 862 million, with Q3 revenue up 6% to EUR 317 million.
EBITDA Surge: Group EBITDA jumped over 50% year-on-year for the first nine months to EUR 144 million, with Q3 EBITDA up 80% to EUR 67 million and a record 21% margin.
Segment Drivers: Friedrich Vorwerk and DTS were key growth engines, offsetting weak performance in automotive and consumer goods.
Upgraded Guidance: MBB raised full-year guidance to EUR 1.1–1.2 billion in revenue and an EBITDA margin of 15–17%.
Strong Balance Sheet: Net cash stands at EUR 527 million, supporting M&A and share buybacks; Q3 operating cash flow was nearly EUR 60 million.
Portfolio Adjustments: Small reductions in listed stakes (Friedrich Vorwerk, Aumann, Delignit) were described as opportunistic, not strategic.
M&A Outlook: Management remains active in seeking both add-on and new acquisitions, especially in infrastructure, aviation, software, and vertical integration.
Conservative Guidance: Automotive exposure, especially at Aumann, remains cautious given weak order intake and market uncertainty.
