PFISTERER Holding SE released preliminary unaudited figures for fiscal year 2025, demonstrating substantial growth in sales and profitability. Group sales increased by approximately 17% to around EUR 450 million, continuing the company's growth trajectory amid a favorable market environment. The fourth quarter was particularly strong with sales growth of 25%, reaching EUR 120 million compared to EUR 98 million in the same period the previous year.
Order intake rose significantly by about 30% to just under EUR 550 million in 2025, with Q4 2024 order intake reaching EUR 117 million, nearly 17% above the prior year's level. The resulting order backlog stood at nearly EUR 335 million as of December 31, 2025, representing a year-on-year increase of more than 40% and providing a solid foundation for future revenue growth.
Profitability increased disproportionately, with adjusted EBITDA reaching approximately EUR 80 million, equivalent to a growth rate of over 24%. The adjusted operating cash flow increased to around EUR 58 million. Investments were significantly increased to more than EUR 38 million, primarily to expand capacities, build the HVDC laboratory, and complete the acquisition of Power CSL. The number of employees grew by 11.2% to 1,378 during the year.
These developments are important because they indicate PFISTERER's strengthening position in the global energy infrastructure market at a time when reliable power transmission is increasingly critical. The company's focus on high-voltage-direct-current transmission technology (HVDC) addresses growing needs for efficient long-distance power transmission and grid stability as renewable energy sources expand globally.
Johannes Linden, member of the Management Board Spokesperson of PFISTERER Holding SE, explained the company's strategic approach: "We pursue a balanced approach when managing growth and profitability. Our strategic focus is on strengthening capacities in our core segments and markets, the extension of our global presence as well as the consequent development of technological innovations such as in the field of high-voltage-direct-current transmission technology (HVDC)."
The implications of this growth extend beyond the company itself to the broader energy sector. As PFISTERER expands its global footprint with 19 locations in 15 countries and customers in more than 90 countries worldwide, its technological solutions contribute to more reliable energy infrastructure globally. This matters for industries and consumers who depend on stable power supply for economic activity and daily life.
PFISTERER develops, manufactures, and distributes solutions for connecting and insulating electrical conductors at system-critical interfaces in high-, medium-, and low-voltage networks. Its products are used along the entire value chain, from power generation to transmission and distribution. Further information about the company is available at https://www.pfisterer.com.
