In the first half of the financial year covering 1 April–30 September 2025, revenue fell by 5.6% to EUR 7.6 billion (H1 2024/25: EUR 8 billion). In contrast, EBITDA edged up to EUR 722 million, operating profit (EBIT) rose 2% to EUR 345 million, profit before tax increased 12% to EUR 278 million, and net profit grew 8.6% to EUR 199 million.
voestalpine’s operating cash flow doubled y-o-y to EUR 783 million, while free cash flow reached EUR 296 million. The company’s net financial debt declined to EUR 1.5 billion (September 2024: EUR 2 billion), and equity rose to EUR 7.53 billion. As a result, the debt-to-equity ratio improved from 27.5% to 19.5%.
CEO Herbert Eibensteiner stated:
“Despite challenging market conditions, we achieved very solid results in the first half of the 2025/26 business year. Global demand for our high-tech products remains strong. Our robust free cash flow clearly demonstrates the efficiency and resilience of our business model.”
The company will continue implementing restructuring programs in its automotive components and high-performance metals divisions as planned through the end of the year. Due to U.S. tariffs on steel pipes and low oil prices, voestalpine Tubulars has seen lower sales volumes, and capacity adjustments may be considered at the Kindberg site in Austria.
voestalpine also advanced key strategic projects. In September 2025, construction began in Linz on Hy4Smelt, Austria’s largest climate research project, which combines hydrogen-based direct reduction with electric melting technologies. In Indiana (USA), the new truck-beam production facility has been completed, with production scheduled to start in July 2026. In Türkiye, the group’s largest high-bay warehouse project to date for a logistics provider will be completed by the end of 2025.
