Webasto remains on track –
challenging market environment shapes fiscal year 2025

• Group revenue at around €4 billion
• Transformation progressing as planned
• One-time expenses impact annual result

Stockdorf – May 18, 2026 – In fiscal year 2025, Webasto consistently continued the transformation it had initiated, despite an ongoing volatile market environment. Group revenue for the reporting year totaled €4.0 billion, down 7.4 percent compared to the previous year. EBIT adjusted for restructuring costs and one‑time effects amounted to €51 million, compared with €63 million in the prior year. The one‑time expenses incurred in connection with the restructuring had a negative impact on the unadjusted annual result.
 

Heterogeneous performance depending on regions and segments
 

Despite persistent geopolitical and economic uncertainties, global economic development in 2025 was largely stable, albeit with significant regional differences. While worldwide production of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles increased overall, production volumes declined in Europe and North America. Global production of heavy commercial vehicles also decreased slightly.

In China, local manufacturers continued to gain market share, further intensifying competitive pressure – particularly for international suppliers. In contrast, the Asia Pacific (APAC) region posted strong growth, driven in particular by gains in India.

Against this macroeconomic backdrop, customer demand in markets relevant to Webasto was weaker than in the previous year, accompanied by shifts in the regional and segment-related revenue mix. In fiscal year 2025, Europe accounted for 35 percent of Group revenue (2024: 36 percent), the Americas remained unchanged at 28 percent, China accounted for 18 percent (2024: 21 percent), and the Asia Pacific (APAC) region increased to 19 percent, representing a rise of four percentage points.

The roof systems business by far remained the largest segment, generating approximately €3.0 billion, or 79 percent of revenue. Battery Systems accounted for around €300 million, or eight percent, while Thermo Management contributed approximately €500 million, or 13 percent.

To further stabilize the business, Webasto continued to adjust its cost base while maintaining a high level of research and development spending at more than seven percent of revenue.

Transformation proceeding according to plan

In light of the economic challenges, Webasto accelerated its transformation in early 2025. Since March 2025, Joerg Buchheim, as Chief Executive Officer of Webasto SE, together with Chief Restructuring Officer (CRO) Johann Stohner, has been driving the sustainable transformation of the global automotive system partner. Measures implemented over the past twelve months included securing financing through 2028 and adapting the organization to changed market conditions.

At year-end 2025, Webasto had sufficient liquidity and unused credit lines to meet its financial obligations.

“We are consistently and systematically advancing our transformation and remain fully on track. Despite the challenging market environment, we have achieved important progress and set the decisive course for sustainable stabilization and future growth. For 2026, we expect EBIT to develop significantly above the prior year,” summarizes Joerg Buchheim, Chief Executive Officer of Webasto SE.
