DEUTZ AG Reports Strong Start to Fiscal Year 2026

DEUTZ AG has commenced fiscal year 2026 with substantial gains in order intake, revenue, and earnings during the first quarter. The company reported a 41.2% increase in order intake compared to the previous year, reaching €771.0 million. Group revenue rose by 8.4% to €530.0 million.

The adjusted earnings saw a notable improvement of 45.7%, totaling €37.3 million, with the adjusted EBIT margin reaching 7.0%. This performance surpasses the level typically seen in the stronger fourth quarter. CEO Dr. Sebastian C. Schulte attributed these results to the ongoing strategic transformation and contributions from newly developed business areas like energy, defense, and services, despite a challenging market environment.

The primary driver for this growth has been DEUTZ's consistent portfolio restructuring. Emerging market recovery trends in the construction machinery and agricultural technology sectors have also supported this upward trajectory. Furthermore, the 'Future Fit' cost program has significantly contributed to enhanced profitability.

DEUTZ has sustained the growth momentum initiated in the second half of 2025, achieving strong results even in the seasonally weaker first quarter. This performance solidifies the company's position within the manufacturing sector.
