Kontron, a global leader in IoT technology, has released preliminary financial results for the first nine months of 2025 in response to recent share price movements and to prevent market speculation. According to preliminary calculations, revenue for the period amounted to €1,182 million compared to €1,208 million in the same period of the previous year, reflecting the discontinuation of the COM business. Despite this revenue decline, EBITDA showed significant improvement, increasing to €194 million, which represents a 37% rise compared to the previous year's figure of €141 million.
The EBITDA increase includes a one-off effect of approximately €46 million from the deconsolidation of the COM business. On an operating basis, excluding this one-time item, EBITDA for the first nine months of the current financial year amounted to around €148 million. The company's strategic focus on higher-margin businesses has influenced its full-year 2025 revenue expectations, which are now projected at €1.7 billion, down from the previous forecast of €1.8 billion, while management maintains its EBITDA guidance of approximately €270 million.
Hannes Niederhauser, CEO of Kontron AG, emphasized the company's strong operational performance, stating that they continue to see robust order intake with a book-to-bill ratio greater than 1x. This strength is particularly evident in strategic growth areas including railway infrastructure, defense, aerospace, and artificial intelligence. The preliminary results demonstrate the company's successful transition toward more profitable business segments despite the revenue impact from portfolio adjustments.
The full financial results for the first nine months of 2025 will be published as scheduled on November 5, providing investors and stakeholders with comprehensive details about the company's financial performance and strategic direction. Kontron's proactive communication aims to address market concerns and provide transparency regarding the company's financial health and operational achievements.
