Bilfinger posts €5.4B revenue and raises dividends after strong fiscal year
Bilfinger has reported strong financial results for its latest fiscal year, with revenue climbing to €5.4 billion. The company also raised its dividend and set ambitious growth targets for the coming years. Management now aims for even higher revenue and profitability by 2026 and beyond.
Over the past year, Bilfinger saw its revenue grow steadily, reaching €5.4 billion. Earnings before interest, taxes, and amortisation (EBITA) jumped by 13% to €299 million, lifting the EBITA margin to 5.5%. Shareholders will benefit from a dividend increase of 40 cents, bringing the total payout to €2.80 per share.
The company's performance reflects strong demand across key sectors, including energy, pharmaceuticals, biopharma, and oil and gas. Order intake, revenue, and operating profit all rose during the period. This growth builds on a three-year trend of roughly 5% annual revenue increases and an improved EBITDA margin of 8.5%.
Looking ahead, Bilfinger has set a revenue target of €5.4 to €5.9 billion by 2026, with an EBITA margin of 5.8% to 6.2%. Beyond that, the firm aims for annual revenue growth of 8% to 10% through 2030. While its progress has outpaced competitors like John Wood Group, it still trails the double-digit expansion seen at Siemens Mobility & Logistics and AkzoNobel's shift toward coatings.
Bilfinger's latest results highlight its strengthening position in industrial services. With higher dividends and clear growth plans, the company is focusing on sustained expansion in core markets. The targets for 2026 and 2030 will depend on maintaining demand in energy, pharma, and oil and gas sectors.
