EDAG Engineering Group AG: Profitability significantly improved in the first nine months of 2026

• Revenues of EUR 498.7 million in a continued challenging market environment
• Adjusted EBIT increases to EUR 4.7 million, adjusted EBIT margin at 0.9%
• Defence order intake almost tripled to EUR 56.7 million

Arbon, November 5, 2026 – EDAG Engineering Group AG, one of the world’s leading independent engineering service providers with experts in Mobility, Defence, Industry and Public Solutions, significantly improved its operating profitability in the first nine months of 2026 despite a continued challenging market environment. Group revenues amounted to EUR 498.7 million, 8.8 percent below the prior-year figure of EUR 547.2 million. In particular, continued cautious investment and awarding behavior in the automotive industry as well as lower project call-offs weighed on revenue development.

Adjusted EBIT improved significantly to EUR 4.7 million compared to EUR -4.5 million in the prior-year period. The adjusted EBIT margin increased accordingly from -0.8 percent to 0.9 percent. The main drivers of this development were the restructuring and efficiency measures implemented in recent years, adjustments to the cost base and the further expansion of our Global Delivery locations.

“The positive earnings development shows that our measures are taking effect and that we have made EDAG more efficient and resilient from an operational perspective. At the same time, the market environment remains challenging and our profitability is still below our target level. We therefore continue to focus on consistent cost and capacity utilization management while driving forward our diversification and the expansion of our Global Delivery locations. We are particularly pleased with the development of our Defence business, where we were able to almost triple order intake compared to the prior-year period,” says Harald Keller, CEO of the EDAG Group.

For the full year, a revenue decline of up to around 10 percent compared to the previous year is expected. The forecast for the adjusted EBIT margin remains unchanged, with a positive margin of up to around 3 percent. For investments, EDAG continues to expect a rate in the range of 2 to 3 percent.
