Elevator and escalator manufacturer Schindler achieved an adjusted operating profit of CHF 1.454 billion in the 2025 financial year, an increase of 8.2 per cent. Consolidated profit also rose. However, sales and order intake declined.
According to a statement, the Schindler Group achieved sales of CHF 10.947 billion in the 2025 financial year, a decline of 2.6 per cent compared to the previous year. In local currencies, however, growth of 1.3 per cent was recorded. Order intake amounted to CHF 11.313 billion (-0.9 per cent, 3.1 per cent in local currencies). Adjusted operating profit in local currencies even rose by 12.3 per cent. Schindler generated a net profit of CHF 1.073 billion, an increase of 6.2 per cent.
“2025 marks the final year of our operational recovery,” said Schindler CEO Paolo Compagna. “Four years after facing particular challenges in 2022, I am pleased to say that we have emerged from this phase as a stronger and more resilient company.”
For the current year, Schindler expects “revenue growth in the low to mid-single-digit percentage range in local currencies.” The EBIT margin target is 13 per cent (2025: 12.6 per cent, adjusted EBIT margin 13.3 per cent). “Our priority for 2026 is to grow in a targeted manner and maintain our focus on further improving operating margins,” says Compagna.
