HEIDELBERG (dpa-AFX) - Heidelberger Druckmaschinen has achieved its own targets for the past fiscal year. According to preliminary calculations, the profit margin before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA margin), adjusted for special items, remained stable at 7.1 percent, the company announced on Tuesday. Slightly lower sales, rising labor costs, and expenses for the Drupa trade fair were offset by cost reductions. Declining personnel costs are also expected to boost profitability in the new fiscal year (ending March 31). The adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to rise to around 8 percent in 2025/26. The company also pointed to a high order intake in the previous fiscal year.
