Kalmar's Q3 2025 Interim Report Shows Improved Profitability

Kalmar Corporation's interim report for the period January-September 2025, released on October 31, 2025, indicates a significant improvement in profitability, particularly during the third quarter.

The comparable operating profit margin stood at 13.8 percent for the January-September period. The company attributes this growth largely to a strong performance in its Services business and overall efficiency gains. Despite persistent global market uncertainty and trade policy volatility affecting customer decision-making, Kalmar maintained a solid operational performance.

The Services segment demonstrated robust results in both order intake and profitability. On the equipment side, orders received decreased by 20 percent compared to the same period in 2024, although the year-to-date order book remained strong. In the third quarter (July-September), orders received fell by 10 percent to EUR 375 million, while sales increased by 3 percent to EUR 436 million. Sales from Kalmar's eco-friendly portfolio grew by 17 percent, accounting for 46 percent of the group's total sales.

Operating profit for the third quarter was EUR 61 million, with a comparable operating profit of EUR 60 million, resulting in the improved 13.8 percent margin. The company maintained its full-year 2025 guidance, expecting its comparable operating profit margin to remain above 12 percent.
