CEOTRONICS AG achieved a new revenue record of € 55,795 thousand in the reporting period from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2025. Revenue growth amounted to +88.3%. The return on sales after taxes improved from 4.2% in the previous year to 8.5%.

In line with the extremely positive sales performance and despite higher costs in some cases, all key earnings figures improved significantly in the 2024/2025 financial year compared to the previous year.

Consolidated EBIT increased by 209.9% from € 2,514 thousand to € 7,790 thousand. Consolidated earnings before taxes rose by 259.3% from € 1,930 thousand to € 6,935 thousand. Consolidated earnings after taxes amounted to € 4,739 thousand, an impressive improvement of 279.1% on the previous year.
Gross cash flow increased by 302.7% from € 1,997 thousand to € 8,042 thousand.

The Group's equity increased by 42.5% compared to May 31, 2024, from € 19,895 thousand to € 28,358 thousand. The equity ratio as at May 31, 2025 improved from 45.4% to 66.5%.

As expected, the consolidated order backlog as at May 31, 2025 changed by only -15.3% compared to the previous year to a still very high level of € 60.1 million. The cumulative Group order intake fell by -51.2% year-on-year from the exceptionally high level of the previous year to € 45.0 million. Due in part to the new elections and their consequences, there were some delays in the awarding of contracts by the German armed forces and federal police forces. The orders that are likely to arrive later will contribute to the positive business development in the 2026/2027 financial year.

The number of employees in the Group as at May 31, 2025 was 143, 6 more than in the previous year. In terms of full-time equivalents (FTE), the figure was 136 (previous year: 128).
Group revenue per employee increased from € 235 thousand to € 423 thousand (+80%) in the 2024/2025 financial year.

CEOTRONICS has achieved an extremely high level of revenue and earnings ahead of schedule and within just one year, which now serves as the basis for future business development. At this extremely increased and very high level of the previous year, a slight increase in revenue to approx. € 56.0 million (approx. +0.4% after +88.3% in the previous year) and a significant increase in net income after taxes of approx. +12.8% after +279.1% in the previous year). According to research by BankM AG and Montega AG, CEOTRONICS will have significantly greater sales growth prospects again in subsequent years (from 2026/2027) due to higher government investment in internal and external security in Germany and the EU.

"We are very satisfied with the business development in the 2024/2025 financial year and are particularly pleased that it appears possible to further increase earnings in the current 2025/2026 financial year and target a return on sales (net of tax) of around 9.5%," said Chairman of the Management Board and CEO Thomas H. Günther.
