Koenig & Bauer Achieves Strong Q3 2025, Confirms Full-Year Guidance Amid Challenging Market

Koenig & Bauer AG, a global leader in special printing technology, has reaffirmed its 2025 full-year guidance following a strong operational turnaround in Q3. “The Q3 figures speak for themselves,” said Dr Stephen Kimmich, CEO, citing improved operating EBIT and a resilient market position. Despite economic headwinds, the company expects to meet its full-year revenue target of €1.3 billion and sees a “higher probability of achieving our operating EBIT target in the lower half of the range.”

The company reported nine-month group revenue growth of +5.0% to €860.9m, with Q3 alone contributing €310.5m (+8.0% YoY). Operating EBIT rose by €37.6m to €6.4m, nearly all of it earned in Q3. “The significant increase in our operating profitability in Q3-25 led to a positive free cash flow of €21.8m,” added CFO Dr Alexander Blum, highlighting the impact of improved net working capital management. With a historically high order backlog of €1,035.7m and innovation efforts like the “protected at print” platform and AURAVEO interactive packaging, Koenig & Bauer continues to drive strategic progress and maintain resilience across global markets.
