Tense market situation continues to slow recovery

• Order intake of CHF 468 million at previous year’s level
• Sales slowed as expected to CHF 446 million 
• Outlook 2025 confirmed: slightly lower sales and improved operating result

Zurich, October 23 2025 – The market environment remained tense in the third quarter and customers acted very cautiously. In EMEA, the largest region, as well as in region APAC, there is still no noticeable economic recovery. The regions Americas and China lost momentum compared to the first half of 2025 due to tariff discussions.

In the first nine months of 2025, order intake increased to CHF 468 million (+3.2% at constant exchange rates). The Division Systems recorded more new orders than in the previous year, and both the tube laser business and DNE developed especially well. Order intake in the Division Service declined. On the one hand, this was due to lower customer capacity utilization. On the other hand, Bystronic launched targeted measures to regain customer confidence. Sales declined as expected in the first nine months of 2025, and were CHF 446 million. Notably, several deliveries and project completions were delayed in the Division Systems due to, among other things, the tense tariff situation. 

Despite the lack of economic recovery and additional costs associated with the US tariffs imposed in August, Bystronic continues to expect slightly lower sales for the full year 2025 and an improved operating result compared to the previous year.
