Steyr Motors AG, a leading provider of customized engines for mission-critical defense and civilian applications, reported preliminary unaudited financial results for the 2025 fiscal year, showing double-digit growth. The company generated EUR 48.5 million in revenue, a 16.4% increase from EUR 41.7 million in 2024, meeting its revised forecast. Adjusted EBIT reached EUR 7.0 million, with an adjusted EBIT margin of 14.5%, while reported EBIT was EUR 5.8 million (11.9% margin), impacted by one-time M&A consulting and capital market costs.
Revenue growth was fueled by increased engine sales, spare parts, and engineering services across both Civil and Defense segments. Civil segment revenue totaled EUR 19.6 million, while Defense contributed EUR 28.8 million. The company expanded internationally, signing key agreements such as a multi-year framework with Asian distributor Trysun for a guaranteed minimum of 750 engines by 2030, and a joint venture in China for future local production. Steyr Motors' C2 emissions certification, announced in September 2025, unlocks at least EUR 100 million in revenue potential in China's shipbuilding market. Other milestones include entry into Poland, new marine supply deals in Europe and Asia, a significant order from India, US customer acquisitions, and expanded presence in the MENA region.
The company established a new business segment for mobile power generation, with projected cumulative revenue exceeding EUR 100 million by 2030. These units target mission-critical defense applications like anti-drone systems and base camps, with series production starting in the second half of 2026. Additionally, Steyr Motors identified opportunities in the US for engines in unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), used for reconnaissance and mine clearance, positioning itself in a new defense market.
Steyr Motors is pursuing inorganic growth, with M&A initiatives at advanced stages targeting strategic fits. CEO Julian Cassutti stated, 'We are seeing a sustained positive trend in order intake, and thanks to an order backlog of over EUR 300 million, we have high visibility until the end of 2030. Additionally, there are numerous opportunities beyond our current budget, with a volume of over EUR 500 million.'
For 2026, management forecasts revenue of EUR 75-95 million and an EBIT margin of at least 15%, driven by intensified sales in Asia, MENA, and North America, along with new business areas. The medium-term forecast for 2027 remains unchanged. The company will present at the 15th Hamburg Investor Days on February 4, 2026, and publish its annual report on March 6, 2026.
