Thyssenkrupp Nucera Sees Shareholder Returns Pressured as Profitability Slides in FY2024/25

Thyssenkrupp Nucera has delivered mixed results for its most recent fiscal year, with profitability taking a hit despite stabilizing in certain areas. The industrial group’s net profit dropped sharply to approximately 5 million euros from the prior year’s 11 million euros, translating into earnings per share of just 0.04 euros versus 0.09 euros previously.

Performance Overview and Market Headwinds

The company’s operational profitability, measured by EBIT, improved modestly to 2 million euros after posting a 14 million euro loss in the preceding year. However, revenue declined marginally to 845 million euros from 862 million euros, signaling ongoing market pressure. More concerning was the order intake metric, which plummeted to 348 million euros—less than half the 636 million euros recorded twelve months earlier. This substantial weakness in new orders suggests challenging demand conditions ahead.

The fourth quarter painted a similarly subdued picture, with negative EBIT of 1 million euros mirroring the prior year quarter, while sales contracted 28% to 182 million euros. For investors focused on tax on share market profit implications, these results underscore the earnings pressure constraining shareholder returns.

Cautious Outlook for FY2025/26

Management’s guidance for the next fiscal cycle reflects continued uncertainty. The group projects order intake between 350 million and 900 million euros, a wide band suggesting unpredictable market conditions. Revenue is forecast in a narrower 500-600 million euro range, while consolidated EBIT is anticipated to remain negative, ranging from negative 30 million euros to breakeven—indicating the turnaround remains incomplete.

These projections highlight the company’s struggle to restore profitability amid persistent industrial headwinds and soft order momentum across its operations.
