Steyr Motors confirms medium-term growth targets despite temporary order
postponements
• Forecast adjustment for 2025: Revenue growth of at least 15% to 25%
and adjusted operating EBIT margin in the range of approximately 13%
to around 16% expected
• Order backlog of more than EUR 300 million by 2030 – structural growth
drivers and international expansion underpin medium-term prospects
• Medium-term targets confirmed: Revenue of approximately EUR 140
million and EBIT of approximately EUR 40 million in 2027
• Additional growth potential from entering the new business area of
mobile power generation as well as from the C2 emissions certification
in China – none of this additional potential is reflected in the
current order backlog or in the business plan communicated to date
Steyr, Austria, November 17, 2025 – Steyr Motors AG ([1]ISIN
AT0000A3FW25), one of the world's leading companies in the field of
customized engines for mission-critical defense and civil applications,
today adjusted its forecast for the 2025 fiscal year. This is due to
delays in several orders from international government customers with an
expected sales volume in the low double-digit million euro range. As a
result of these delays, based on current information, the orders in
question will not generate revenue in the current fiscal year as planned,
but only in fiscal year 2026.
In addition, further potential purchase orders are currently pending
within the framework of existing contractual relationships and current
customer negotiations, the realization of which was also originally
planned for fiscal year 2025. However, based on current estimates, the
company now assumes that some of these orders will not be placed in time
to be recognized as revenue in fiscal year 2025, but will instead be
recognized as revenue in fiscal year 2026.
Based on the updated assessment, the Management Board of Steyr Motors now
expects sales of between EUR 48 million and EUR 52 million for the 2025
financial year, which would correspond to a revenue increase of 15% to 25%
compared to the 2024 financial year (previously: sales increase of at
least 40%). The operating EBIT margin, adjusted for costs related to the
extraordinary general meeting and M&A consulting, is now expected to be
between approximately 13% and around 16% (previously: EBIT margin of above
20%). The deviation in the EBIT margin reflects the expansion of
production and the associated increase in personnel and other operating
expenses, which are not offset by the originally planned sales revenues
due to the shift in sales and are therefore a direct effect of the lower
sales.
Despite the current delays in order intake, Steyr Motors continues to view
its medium to long-term market and business prospects, including margin
expectations, as intact. Against this backdrop, the company continues to
confirm its medium-term forecast for the 2027 fiscal year.
Julian Cassutti, CEO of Steyr Motors, comments: "The adjustment of our
forecast is based on commercial caution following recent customer
discussions and for reasons of fairness to our stakeholders. We continue
to see opportunities to compensate for at least part of the postponed
sales through short-term call-offs. The postponement of orders planned for
the fourth quarter is mainly due to the fact that budget approvals by end
customers, and in particular by government institutions, are currently
taking longer than expected. In addition, highly profitable license
revenues are in the sales pipeline, the realization of which is expected
to be delayed due to timing effects. Despite the temporary shift in
revenues, we are very confident about our order backlog and sales
pipeline. In addition, we see further significant growth opportunities
arising from our new product, the M12 Power Unit."
International expansion continues apace
Steyr Motors is consistently continuing its international expansion and
has achieved significant milestones on several continents in 2025. With
the recently announced expansion of its international partner network, the
company is further strengthening its global market position: Two new
distribution agreements – with Golden Arrow Marine in the United Kingdom
and Petros Petropoulos AEBE in Greece – secure the distribution of marine
propulsion systems and comprehensive spare parts and service supply. This
enables Steyr Motors to create local structures to meet growing
international demand in the long term. The entry into the Greek market
marks a further step in European expansion, while the partnership in the
UK consolidates the market position in the maritime and defense sector.
At the same time, the company is pushing ahead with internationalization
in other key regions: market entry in Poland, the opening of a new
location in Dubai, and the expansion of activities in China and Southeast
Asia underscore Steyr Motors' global reach. Particularly noteworthy is the
[2]joint venture with Shangyan Power in Singapore, which opens up new
business opportunities in the ASEAN region and comprises (at least) a
guaranteed sales volume of around EUR 65 million and an EBIT contribution
of EUR 13 million over five years.
Another significant success was achieved in China: just ten months after
opening its office in Beijing, Steyr Motors received local certification
in accordance with the [3]C2 emission standard – a crucial prerequisite
for market penetration in the world's largest shipbuilding market. This
approval opens up additional order potential of at least EUR 100 million
by 2030.
In addition, the new business segment of mobile energy supply – based on
the [4]M12 Power Unit (M12PU) – opens up additional growth opportunities.
Steyr Motors expects cumulative sales of well over EUR 100 million from
this segment by 2030.
Parallel to the market launch of the M12 Power Unit, Steyr Motors is
already seeing very concrete interest from potential customers in various
application areas – particularly in the field of laser-based anti-drone
defense systems and other mission-critical security and defense
applications. Steyr Motors is in advanced discussions regarding possible
exclusive purchase agreements. The significant sales potential of this new
product category is not included in the existing order backlog or in the
currently communicated business plan and therefore represents a
significant additional growth lever.
Medium-term prospects remain intact
Despite the current delays, the Management Board continues to view Steyr
Motors' medium to long-term market and business prospects as intact. The
total order backlog of more than EUR 300 million until 2030 forms a solid
basis for organic growth with increasing profitability in the coming
years.
The company continues to target revenue of approximately EUR 140 million
and EBIT of approximately EUR 40 million by 2027.
Julian Cassutti, CEO of Steyr Motors AG, adds: "We have laid the
foundations and capacities needed to sustainably realize the successes of
our internationalization strategy. Our order books are well-filled. At the
same time, we are in highly promising discussions with numerous customers
regarding additional orders that open up both short-term and medium-term
sales potential. Temporary delays in individual projects do not change our
medium- and long-term growth prospects: our international markets are
developing strongly, and our existing order backlog provides a solid basis
for profitable growth. At the same time, we are systematically evaluating
M&A opportunities to generate additional, strategically relevant growth.
Moreover, our new product, the M12 Power Unit, presents further
significant additional growth opportunities.”
