Oerlikon 2025 Financial Overview and Strategic Shift

Oerlikon Metco Inc., headquartered in Switzerland, has announced its 2025 full-year results, highlighting a strategic focus on surface technology and advanced materials. Following the divestment of Barmag to Rieter, Oerlikon achieved a net book gain of CHF 287 million. The company reported strong order intake, increasing by 6.5% at constant exchange rates, despite a challenging economic climate and geopolitical uncertainties.

Sales remained stable, balancing strengths in aviation and energy against weaknesses in automotive and luxury sectors. The operational EBITDA margin stood at 17.3%, with ongoing structural cost reductions supporting future margins. Oerlikon's board has proposed a CHF 0.85 per share dividend, reflecting proceeds from the Barmag divestment.

For 2026, Oerlikon anticipates a low single-digit rise in organic sales at constant FX, with an operational EBITDA margin of approximately 17.5%, driven by innovation and efficiency improvements.
