AI Summary
Q1 2025

Strong Start: Krones delivered a robust Q1 performance in 2025, with revenue up 13.1% over Q4 2024 and all key financials improving.

Guidance Confirmed: Management reaffirmed full-year 2025 guidance, expecting 7% to 9% revenue growth, 10.2% to 10.8% EBITDA margin, and 18% to 20% ROCE.

Order Intake & Backlog: Q1 order intake was slightly above EUR 1.4 billion, in line with the target, though management expects Q2 order intake to be slightly lower.

US Tariff Risks Managed: Uncertainty remains over US tariffs, but Krones is actively mitigating risk by increasing production and capacity in the US and passing on costs to customers where possible.

Regional Shifts: Weaker US demand was offset by strong order momentum in Africa, Middle East, and Asia Pacific.

Cash & M&A: Cash position remains strong at EUR 592 million, supporting ongoing investment and potential acquisitions; payout ratio will stay at 25–30%.

Netstal Integration: Netstal continues to have a small dilutive effect on margins, with improvements expected by 2027.
