St. Leon-Rot, October 6, 2026 – SLR Group GmbH, a leading supplier of high-quality ductile iron components, today published its final, audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 25/26. According to the final figures, the company generated net sales of EUR 213.3 million (FY 24/25: EUR 194.0 million). This represents a significant increase of 10% compared to the previous year. A total of 107 kilotons of ductile iron components were sold in fiscal year 25/26, compared to 95 kilotons in the previous year.
Adjusted EBITDA rose to EUR 17.8 million in fiscal year 25/26. This corresponds to a slight increase of 3% compared to the prior year (FY 24/25: EUR 17.3 million). The adjusted EBITDA margin thus reached 8.4% (FY 24/25: 9.0%). In addition, unadjusted EBITDA amounted to EUR 15.9 million in fiscal year 25/26, compared to EUR 15.6 million in the previous year.
Gunnar Halden, CFO of the SLR Group, comments: “Our focus in the new fiscal year is clearly on the Elsterheide site. With targeted measures to optimize our production processes, we aim to increase operational efficiency there and adapt even better to the shifting product mix. Elsterheide will thus become a key driver in improving our margin as volumes rise.”
Focus on greater efficiency and profitability in fiscal year 26/27
For the current fiscal year 26/27, the SLR Group expects total production and tons sold to range from 115 to 120 kilotons and net sales to be in the range of approximately EUR 235 million to EUR 245 million. In addition, the SLR Group expects adjusted EBITDA of EUR 20 million to EUR 22 million for fiscal year 26/27. The forecast for fiscal year 26/27 is based on the assumption that production volume at the Elsterheide site will increase by at least 15% compared to the previous year.
Jörg Rumikewitz, CEO of the SLR Group, looks ahead to the current fiscal year: “The start to the new fiscal year was still subdued. The measures we have initiated to optimize production processes are taking effect step by step – in line with our planning, we expect a significantly stronger second half of the fiscal year. Despite a persistently challenging agricultural market, and with construction expected to stabilize at the same time, we remain confident about the new fiscal year. We aim to consistently increase our output and further expand our business with key customers.”
The final, audited annual report for 25/26 is now available on the company website at slr-gruppe.de/en/investor-relations.
