DF Deutsche Forfait AG Reports Preliminary Half-Year Figures

On 26 September 2025, DF Deutsche Forfait AG released its preliminary figures for the first half of the year. The company's trade finance segment saw a notable revenue increase from EUR 5.0 million to EUR 6.4 million, contributing to a 23% rise in gross profit, reaching EUR 5.8 million compared to EUR 4.7 million the previous year. The business volume also increased by 12.4%, amounting to EUR 118.1 million.

Despite these positive trends, consolidated earnings before taxes fell to EUR 1.1 million, down from EUR 2.0 million in the previous year. This decline is attributed to increased personnel and operating expenses due to new subsidiaries. The company has adjusted its forecast, anticipating a slight rise in business volume and a 50% decline in earnings before taxes due to start-up costs in new segments.
