Palfinger: Following a projected decline in the 1st half of 2025, Palfinger is aiming to compensate the drop in earnings and revenue in the second half of 2025. In the first six months, the company recorded revenue of EUR 1,139.5 million, an operating result (EBIT) of EUR 90.4 million and a consolidated net result of EUR 50.1 million. Since the fourth quarter of 2024, PALFINGER has recorded higher order intake, especially in the EMEA region, which is why capacity increases were necessary in the first half of 2025. The LATAM region remained stable during the reporting period, while APAC, particularly the emerging Indian market, provided positive momentum in terms of order intake. Growth continued in MARINE sector – particularly for wind cranes and lifeboats with davit systems. Despite the ongoing tariff conflicts and the associated uncertainty, NAM also showed a slight upward trend in orders. In the first half of the year, the share of service revenue was further expanded. “This result confirms we’re on the right track. Above all, our value creation principle of ‘in the region, for the region’ has once again proven its worth. We are well positioned and confident that we will be able to compensate for the decline in earnings and revenue in the second half of the year,” stated Palfinger CEO Andreas Klauser.

Pierer Mobility: The PIERER Mobility Group, with its brands KTM, Husqvarna etc. sold 50,334 motorcycles in the first half of 2025 (previous year: 115,145). In addition, 34,950 motorcycles (previous year: 32,351) were sold through strategic partner Bajaj Auto. Sales in India were particularly encouraging, rising by more than 8% compared to the previous year. This is the result of the excellent partnership with Bajaj Auto and proof of customer confidence in the KTM brand. The Group thus sold a total of 85,284 motorcycles (previous year: 147,496 units). The 42.2% decline in total sales was mainly due to the restructuring proceedings at KTM AG and a reluctance to deliver new models, as well as the overall economic environment and its impact on the motorcycle market in H1 2025.
