Deutz Increases Revenue by 12.7 Percent in 2025
Deutz posted 2025 revenue of €2,043.8 million in 2025 compared to €1,813.7 million in 2024, a 12.7-percent revenue increase. In the fourth quarter, Deutz totaled €544.4 million compared to €507.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, a 7-perent hike.
Deutz generated a 13.7-percent increase in new orders to €2,077.7 million. Deutz benefited from the broader positioning it has established through its “portfolio strategy.” With strong adjusted EBIT of €112.3 million, the adjusted EBIT margin was in line with the most recent forecast of 5.5 percent. Besides profitable acquisitions, savings made under the Future Fit cost-cutting program also had a positive impact.
“Even though the economic environment remained challenging, especially for the engine business, we reported one of the highest profits in our recent history,” said Deutz CEO Dr. Sebastian Schulte. “The group’s firm focus on its strategic transformation is bearing fruit. Alongside our 6,000 employees, we are creating the next version of Deutz: stronger, fit for the future and sustainable. Our goal is to double our revenue to €4 billion by 2030 and increase our adjusted EBIT margin to 10 perent. To this end, we introduced a new structure consisting of five independent business units at the start of this year.”
Energy contributes
Energy is one of the business units expected to make a significant contribution to the achievement of the medium-term target, the company said. With the acquisition of Frerk Aggregatebau GmbH, completed at the beginning of February, Deutz has created a scalable portfolio in decentralized energy, strengthened its position in the growing market for data center emergency power systems, and laid the foundations for leveraging synergies throughout the value chain. The expansion of the defense business will also make Deutz increasingly resilient and contribute to further growth, the company said. With the acquisition of SOBEK in 2025 and its partnership with ARX Robotics, Deutz has positioned itself as a system provider in the growing ecosystem for unmanned defense systems.
The company plans to continue to seek out targeted M&A transactions while reducing its structural costs.
“In 2025, we initiated all of the measures planned under our Future Fit cost-cutting program and have already seen an impact of more than €25 million on our income statement. We are thus comfortably on track to achieve our goal of reducing our cost base by well over €50 million compared to 2024 by the end of this year,” said Deutz chief financial officer Oliver Neu.”
