The Gea Group continues its positive business development and exceeds expectations in several key financial indicators for the 2025 fiscal year. The company reports strong growth in order intake. Gea forecasts accelerated growth prospects for 2026.

Order intake up by more than nine percent

For 2025 as a whole, the machinery and plant manufacturer achieved a preliminary order intake of €5.9 billion. This corresponds to organic growth of 9.1 percent compared to the previous year, when growth of 4.6 percent was reported. In the fourth quarter, order intake remained above market expectations of €1.71 billion, at around €1.83 billion.

Gea sales development at the upper end of the forecast

The preliminary figures show sales of €5.5 billion for the 2025 fiscal year. In organic terms, this corresponds to sales growth of 3.7 percent. This puts Gea at the upper end of its own guidance. For the current year 2026, the company again expects organic sales growth of more than five percent. Earnings figures are also developing positively. Preliminary EBITDA before restructuring expenses rose to €907 million, up from €837 million in the previous year. The company plans to publish its full annual report on March 9, 2026.

Gea achieves continuous growth over several years

Gea can look back on a trend reversal lasting several years: Over the past four years, organic order intake has increased by an average of 5.5 percent per year. At the same time, organic sales grew by an average of 6.2 percent. CEO Stefan Klebert comments on the success and prospects: “The renewed strong order intake bolsters our objective of achieving annual organic sales growth of at least five percent, as part of our 'Mission 30'. At the same time, we are continuing to increase our margins year by year.”
