The hybrid press conference and balance sheet presentation will take place tomorrow, Thursday, March 6, 2025, at 10:30 a.m. in Vienna. PALFINGER AG achieved its second-best fiscal year in 2024 with revenue of EUR 2.36 billion (2023: EUR 2.45 billion), an operating result (EBIT) of EUR 185.6 million (2023: EUR 210.2 million) and consolidated net result of EUR 100.0 million (2023: EUR 107.7 million). In addition to an efficient cost structure, the company is excellently positioned, regionally diversified, and has a broad product portfolio. At EUR 0.90 per share (2023: EUR 1.05), PALFINGER will propose the second-highest dividend since the IPO in 1999 to the Annual General Meeting. The share price on the Vienna Stock Exchange has developed very favorably recently. Outlook 2025 Order intake in the European core markets is already recovering, which should also have a positive impact on earnings from the second quarter onwards. The management anticipates that the overall economic environment will continue to improve. The decline in earnings in the first half of 2025 is expected to be significantly compensated in the second half of the year, resulting in a strong year overall. PALFINGER targets significant increase in turnover and profitability until 2027: a revenue of EUR 2.7 billion, an EBIT margin of 10 percent and a return on capital employed of over 12 percent. PALFINGER's growth course of the last 25 years will continue in the future.
