PVA TePla AG closed the 2025 fiscal year with a substantial increase in order intake despite a challenging market environment, creating what company executives describe as a solid foundation for future business development. According to preliminary unaudited figures, the German technology company's order intake rose to approximately €268 million, representing a 78% increase from the previous year's €150.6 million and exceeding annual revenue.
The company's book-to-bill ratio exceeded 1, indicating growing demand for PVA TePla Group's solutions in materials and measurement technology. However, operating performance was significantly impacted by delays in project realization and acceptance, which affected both revenue and earnings. Revenue declined to around €244 million from €270.1 million in the previous year, while earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) decreased to approximately €25 million from €47.8 million.
"Project-related delays due to trade policy uncertainties had an impact on revenue and earnings in 2025. However, demand has already increased significantly in the past year," said Markus Groß, CFO of PVA TePla. "For 2026, we expect steady progress in project realization. At the same time, we are continuing to systematically focus our product portfolio on growth areas and increase our efficiency."
CEO Jalin Ketter emphasized the significance of the strong order intake, stating it demonstrates the attractiveness of the company's product portfolio and the competitiveness of its technologies. "We are seeing continued high customer interest in our solutions, particularly in the metrology sector," Ketter noted. "With a well-filled order pipeline and project processing returning to normal, we expect to see a slight increase in revenue in 2026 and a significant upturn in business from 2027 onwards."
Based on the current order situation, PVA TePla expects consolidated revenue of €255 million to €275 million for fiscal year 2026, with EBITDA projected between €26 million and €31 million. Management anticipates a noticeable acceleration in business development from 2027, expecting Group revenue to exceed €300 million that year with a return to significant double-digit growth rates that should continue in subsequent years. The company remains committed to its strategic goal of increasing Group revenue to around €500 million in the medium term.
The final audited figures for fiscal year 2025 and the annual report will be published on March 19, 2026, according to the company's announcement. PVA TePla's shares are traded on multiple German exchanges including XETRA, Tradegate, and regional stock exchanges, with the company maintaining an international presence with sites in Europe, Asia, and North America.
