over the coming months will play a big part
in the success of the current financial year.
Furthermore, the anticipated improvements in
results in the second half of the year will have
a positive impact on the free cash flow.”
Packaging solutions segment
remains growth driver - annual
forecast confirmed
Compared to the same period of the previous
year, the packaging solutions segment
was able to increase incoming orders
in the first half of the year by around 9.7
percent to € 675 million, thereby contributing
approximately 53 percent to the total volume.
Megatrends in the packaging market are
first and foremost the growing demand
for packaging that is both sustainable and
high-quality. This is where the positioning
of HEIDELBERG as a systems integrator
and total solution provider has a positive
impact, helping to further expand its very
strong position in the packaging market.
The company also anticipates further growth
opportunities in China due to its location
benefits. In the print solutions segment,
incoming orders rose in the same period by
around 5.5 percent to € 594 million.
Beyond the packaging business,
HEIDELBERG wants to capitalize on other
strengths. The company is characterized
by a high export ratio, as over 80 percent
of its business is generated outside of
Germany. In particular, the company sees
further growth opportunities in China and the
Asia-Pacific region thanks to local production
and a very strong market position. Beyond
Asia, HEIDELBERG benefits globally in
the service business from a large installed
base of machines that are connected to
HEIDELBERG via a cloud. Networking allows
the efficiency of the systems to be improved,
preventive maintenance to be planned and
software updates to be installed.
Taking into account the expectations and
assumptions published and presented in
the 2023/2024 management report, the
Company continues to expect sales for
financial year 2024/2025 to be in line with the
previous year’s figure (previous year: € 2,395
million). The adjusted EBITDA margin is also
expected to be similar to the previous year’s
figure (previous year: 7.2 percent). The high
order backlog resulting from the successful
drupa trade fair and the continuous focus
on margins and costs will provide a sound
basis for the achievement of the targets. In
future, the focus will primarily be on strategic
growth measures in the Packaging, Industry
and Service segments, as well as further cost
reductions.
