Sales declined 6 percent from last year to 32.8 billion euros as a result of fluctuations in demand and price trends, while order intake increased 15 percent, primarily due to major orders at Marine Systems.
Further, the company will propose to the Annual General Meeting on January 30, 2026 that a dividend of 0.15 euro per share be paid for fiscal year 2025.
Looking ahead, for fiscal 2026, ThyssenKrupp expects net loss between 400 million euros and 800 million euros, and adjusted EBIT between 500 million euros and 900 million euros.
The net loss mainly includes the establishment of restructuring provisions at Steel Europe. The company added that the persistently challenging market environment is also shaping the outlook for the current fiscal year.
For fiscal year 2026, thyssenkrupp anticipates sales development in a range between minus 2 percent and 1 percent. In particular, demand-induced growth is expected at Materials Services and Steel Europe, offset by corresponding declines at Automotive Technology and Decarbon Technologies.
