MAX Automation SE Lowers 2025 Financial Forecast

On July 15, 2025, MAX Automation SE issued a revised financial forecast for the year, adjusting projections due to macroeconomic factors. The company now anticipates sales to range between EUR 300 million and EUR 340 million, down from an earlier estimate of EUR 340 million to EUR 400 million. Additionally, expected earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) have been revised to between EUR 12 million and EUR 18 million, compared to the previous forecast of EUR 21 million to EUR 28 million.

The primary cause for the downward revision is a lower and delayed order intake in early 2025, influenced by economic uncertainty and US customs policy. Furthermore, project delays, especially in the automotive and environmental technology sectors, have contributed to the revised forecast. The company also foresees one-off expenses in the mid-single-digit million range related to cost-cutting measures affecting the financial outlook.
