1. By company location

“In a turbulent economic environment, we were able to build on the strong results of the previous year in the first three months of 2025 and increased our EBIT by EUR 1 million to EUR 108 million compared to the same quarter last year. Our sales revenues were 5% higher than last year thanks to business expansion and external growth. Once again, we benefited from our broad geographical positioning. Regarding the earnings development, China continued its positive development and started strongly into the year, which enabled a significant earnings increase in the Asia-Pacific region, offsetting a slightly weaker performance in EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa).
