CEO Alfred Geißler: “DMG MORI AG closed the third quarter with a pleasingly strong order intake. The EMO trade fair in Hannover clearly demonstrated that our MX – Machining Transformation strategy, with its focus on quality, efficiency, and sustainability, precisely addresses the needs of our customers – especially supporting small and medium-sized enterprises in transforming their manufacturing processes. However, due to the continued uncertainty in the market environment, we remain cautious and are slightly adjusting our full-year forecasts.”
Order intake
Economic activity remained subdued in the third quarter, with only modest signs of recovery. The environment continued to be shaped by persistent uncertainties and the increasingly restrictive U.S. tariff policy. In this challenging market environment, DMG MORI AG achieved a strong order intake of € 590.0 million in the third quarter (+17 %; previous year: € 505.0 million). As of 30 September 2025, order intake amounted to € 1,731.7 million (0 %; previous year: € 1,733.6 million). Domestic orders totaled € 493.3 million (previous year: € 555.2 million).

The EAT comprises the EAT from continuing operations of € 46.4 million (previous year: € 110.2 million) and the EAT from discontinued operations of € 101.9 million (previous year: € -91.9 million). The EAT from discontinued operations includes the compensation payment from the investment guarantee for the production plant in Ulyanovsk.

Research and development
We continue to align our portfolio consistently with our strategic ambition to be the holistic solution provider for our customers in the manufacturing sector. In 2025, together with DMG MORI COMPANY LIMITED, we will present 29 innovations – including 18 world premieres featuring advanced process integration, 3 automation solutions, 6 digital innovations, and 2 new technology cycles. In addition, we will showcase a wide range of solutions aimed at enhancing sustainability, along with tailored offerings for our key industries and for small and medium-sized enterprises. At EMO Hannover (22-26 September 2025), the world’s leading trade fair for production technology, DMG MORI presented numerous world premieres – including the NLX 2500 2nd generation and DMC 65 monoBLOCK 2nd generation, as well as the new automation solution AMR 1000.
Forecast
Uncertainties in the market environment remain high, particularly due to ongoing geopolitical conflicts and the increasingly restrictive U.S. tariff policies. The slight recoveries in individual markets and sectors can only partially offset the general reluctance to invest. Accordingly, forecasts continue to be cautious and conservative.
In this challenging market environment, DMG MORI AG has held its ground well during the first nine months of the current financial year. As the anticipated recovery in the second half of the year did not materialize, we are slightly adjusting our full-year forecasts. We are now expecting order intake of between € 2.2 billion and € 2.3 billion for the financial year 2025 (previously: € 2.4-2.5 billion). Sales revenues are forecast to be between € 2.0 billion and € 2.1 billion (previously: € 2.2-2.3 billion). We estimate EBIT of € 100 million to € 120 million (previously: € 150-160 million). Free cash flow is expected at between € 60 million and € 90 million (previously: € 110-130 million).
We are well positioned for the upcoming financial year 2026 – on the one hand, with a strong order backlog, and on the other hand, through our forward-looking MX strategy and our ongoing investments in production capacity, research and development, as well as in our employees.
