At a glance

The Einhell Group was able to significantly increase its revenue again in the first quarter of the 2025 financial year, generating revenue of EUR 302.8 million from January to March 2025 (previous year: EUR 269.5 million). The Group thus achieved a new record revenue level in the first quarter. Revenues in all segments and regions increased compared to the same period of the previous year. The ongoing high demand for Power X-Change products is a key factor driving revenue growth. Compared to the same period last year, the revenue share of Power X-Change tools has increased from 50% to approx. 51%.

Earnings before taxes and PPA amount to EUR 29.0 million (after PPA: EUR 28.6 million). This corresponds to a margin before taxes and PPA of 9.6% (after PPA: 9.5%). As a result, earnings before taxes increased by approx. 26%. The PPA effects result from the purchase price allocation following the acquisitions of King Canada and Surazinsano Co. Ltd., Thailand.

Group structure

Einhell Digital Greece

On 20 January 2025, a new company was established in Greece. Einhell Digital Greece I.K.E. is an IT service provider offering software development, IT operations and IT support as well as business services from Greece for Einhell Group companies.

Einhell Germany AG owns 51% of the shares in this company. The remaining 49% of the shares are held by a minority shareholder. Due to the low equity investment, minority interests are not material.

Einhell Latam S.A.S.

On 29 January 2025, the newly founded Einhell Latam S.A.S. (based in Bogotá, Colombia) was acquired. Einhell Germany AG owns 100% of the shares in this company. This company will cover the Latin American market.

Revenue, earnings and financial position

In the months January to March 2025, revenue of EUR 302.8 million was significantly (+12.4%) above the previous year's level.

Earnings

From January to March 2025, the Einhell Group generated earnings before taxes (EBT) of EUR 28.6 million (previous year: EUR 22.6 million). The pre-tax margin is 9.5% (previous year: 8.4%). Adjusted for the PPA effects of the King Canada and Surazinsano Co. Ltd., Thailand acquisitions, the margin amounts to 9.6%.

Consolidated net income after minority interest amounts to EUR 20.0 million in the period under review (previous year: EUR 15.9 million), which results in earnings per share of EUR 1.8 (previous year: EUR 1.4 per share).

Personnel expenses rose from EUR 34.0 million to EUR 37.2 million compared to the previous year.

Depreciation and amortisation increased in the first three months of 2025 to EUR 4.6 million (previous year: EUR 4.2 million) as substantial capital was expended for property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets in recent years.

Other expenses increased from EUR 42.8 million to EUR 54.0 million. They mainly comprise costs for warehousing of EUR 6.1 million, outbound freight of EUR 9.6 million and advertising of EUR 21.8 million. Advertising costs also include customer discounts and marketing costs.

The financial result of EUR -1.5 million (previous year: EUR -1.1 million) is lower than in the previous year.

In the period under review, the Einhell Group made investments without right-of-use assets amounting to EUR 3.9 million (previous year: EUR 4.1 million).

Noncurrent assets include right-of-use assets for property, plant and equipment under rental and lease contracts amounting to EUR 17.9 million (previous year: EUR 19.5 million).

Goods inventories increased as against the prioryear period to EUR 431.4 million (previous year: EUR 341.4 million).

Western Europe incl. D/A/CH

Revenue in the Western Europe incl. D/A/CH region increased by EUR 17.3 million to EUR 170.3 million in the first quarter of financial year 2025.

The share of PXC products is at an impressive 61% in Germany and approx. 84% in Austria.

Other companies with very strong revenues in this segment are Einhell S.A.S (France) with EUR 16.6 million, Einhell Italia with EUR 10.0 million, Einhell Comercial (Spain) with EUR 9.0 million and Einhell UK with EUR 9.4 million. These companies achieved strong revenue performances, which resulted in a significant increase in their revenues compared to the same quarter last year.

EBT increased by EUR 5.9 million to EUR 15.7 million year-on-year in the Western Europe incl. D/A/CH segment. The significant increase in revenue in this segment greatly benefited the earnings performance.

Eastern Europe

Revenue in the Eastern Europe segment increased slightly by EUR 3.5 million compared to the prioryear period. The highest revenues in this segment were generated by the companies in Turkey (EUR 6.2 million), Poland (EUR 5.0 million) and Croatia (EUR 4.8 million). The company in Poland achieved the largest increase in revenue (+58.8%).

Earnings before taxes (EBT) declined by EUR 1.2 million in the Eastern Europe segment.

Despite the positive revenue trend in this segment, earnings were down year-on-year. High financing costs are weighing on the very good operating revenue performance in Turkey.

Overseas and Other Countries

Sales in the Overseas and Other Countries segment increased by EUR 3.8 million compared to the same quarter of the previous year. The companies with the highest revenues in this segment were Einhell Australia with EUR 54.8 million and Einhell Canada with EUR 7.6 million. Einhell Australia was once again able to increase its revenue by 8.1% compared to the prior-year period.

Earnings before taxes also increased year-on-year in the Overseas and Other Countries region, with a year-on-year increase of EUR 0.8 million (+9.9%). The company in Australia played a key role in this, with an earnings performance that was on a par with the revenue development.

Production and Sourcing Companies

Revenue of the Production and Sourcing Companies segment rose by EUR 8.7 million compared to the same period in the previous year. This corresponds to 53.4% growth. The total figure in this segment is mainly driven by revenue from our companies in Hong Kong (EUR 22.0 million).

The companies in Hong Kong contributed substantially to the increase in revenue. These companies were able to increase their third-party revenue by EUR 7.4 million compared to the same period in the previous year. Moreover, the company in Vietnam has achieved a very positive performance. It was able to increase third-party revenue by EUR 1.5 million year-on-year, which is nearly double the figure achieved in the prior-year period.

Earnings in the Production and Sourcing Companies segment fell by EUR 0.8 million compared to the same quarter of the previous year due to increased market development expenses.

Current strategic developments

Power X-Change platform and innovation

The successful Power X-Change product line remains our main focus. With the Power X-Change platform, we aim to become the market leader in the cordless power tool and garden equipment segment.

The Power X-Change platform accounted for approx. 51% of revenue in the first quarter of 2025. By the end of 2025, the platform is to be expanded to over 350 products. The Power X-Change platform is expected to account for over 70% of revenue by 2027. We will continue to further develop the technology in this area to achieve our objective of obtaining market leadership for battery-powered systems in all the countries with Einhell branches.

The "Einhell Professional" product line was introduced to reach new customers in the professional trades sector. The range is to be expanded to approx. 117 products by the end of 2025.

Cooperation with FC Bayern Munich and Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team

In order to further optimise awareness of the Einhell brand, we will continue to intensify our marketing measures this financial year. The cooperation with the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team is a key element of this strategy. Einhell and Mercedes come together in this partnership as two strong international brands that represent the highest technological standards. The cooperation with the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team is already starting to pay off in terms of awareness and image of the Einhell brand.

The cooperation with FC Bayern Munich will be continued to achieve even more awareness for the Einhell brand.

International expansion

One of our most important strategic measures continues to be the international expansion of our Group. The Board is still searching for a potential takeover candidate in the US, as the previous candidates did not fully meet the strategic objectives. As the largest DIY market in the world, the United States offer great potential for our Power X-Change battery products.

The Einhell Group is also looking for suitable candidates for acquisitions or as distribution partners in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Mexico and India.

Einhell is also seeking distribution partners in Egypt and South Korea to help develop these new markets.

With the foundation of the new EINHELL Operations GmbH in 2023, the Group has started to establish a battery production facility in Hungary. By setting up the Einhell Operations GmbH, the Group wants to gain more independence from China.

Production of one million batteries for the Power X-Change platform is planned for 2025.

In January 2025, a new company was established in Greece, with a long-standing IT service provider as a partner in the joint venture. Einhell Digital Greece I.K.E. offers services in the areas of software development, IT operations and support as well as business services for companies in the Einhell Group.

A new company was also founded in Colombia in January 2025. The company is called Einhell Latam S.A.S. and will serve the direct customers in South America.

Events after reporting date

No further events took place after the reporting date that could have a significant impact on net assets, financial position and results of operations.

Outlook

Despite declining inflation rates, the market was characterised by a difficult environment. But despite this, the Einhell Group was able to hold its own and continue to grow.

Although general consumer sentiment has improved somewhat since the poor start to 2025, it remains low.

The Einhell Group has a global presence, and the Einhell brand is very well established in many European and non-European markets, which is why the group was able to increase its revenue compared to the same period last year despite the difficult environment.

The Board of Directors anticipates a year-on-year increase in revenue for financial year 2025. Full-year revenue is expected to amount to EUR 1,160 million (previous year: EUR 1,109.7 million). In terms of earnings before taxes, the Board expects a margin in the range of approx. 8.5% - 9.0% (previous year: 8.9%).
