Palfinger AG Marks Third-Best Fiscal Year, Eyes Profitable Growth

Palfinger AG has reported its third-best fiscal year, underpinned by strong financial performance and strategic initiatives. Despite a challenging economic landscape, the company achieved a revenue of EUR 2.34 billion and an EBIT of EUR 174.3 million, with a consolidated net profit of EUR 96.7 million. A record free cash flow exceeding EUR 180 million allowed the reduction of net debt by over EUR 200 million, enhancing the equity ratio to 43%.

The company proposed a dividend of EUR 0.90 per share, highlighting stable shareholder returns. Market confidence was buoyed with Palfinger's re-entry into the ATX index following the successful placement of treasury shares, increasing the free float to 43.8%.

Palfinger AG's global presence, particularly in Europe and Latin America, drove performance, despite setbacks in North America and the CIS region. The strategy for 2030+ emphasizes growth in high-margin services and innovation in digital and energy-efficient technologies.

For 2026, the company targets revenue beyond EUR 3 billion, maintaining focus on its strategic objectives to ensure sustainable growth.
