Segmental Performance

The company's segmental performance was mixed, with Hydropower and Pulp & Paper driving order intake growth, while Environment & Energy saw a decline due to postponed investment decisions. The Hydropower segment reported a 16% increase in order intake and a 12% rise in revenue, with an EBITA margin expansion to 6.8%. The Metals segment coped well with the challenging industry situation, maintaining customer trust. As noted by the CEO, "We saw strong demand worldwide on renewable energy and grew order intake by 16%, revenue by 12%, and EBITA margin to 6.8%."

Outlook and Guidance

ANDRITZ expects revenue growth in FY2026, supported by a record order backlog, with guidance between EUR 8.0 billion and EUR 8.3 billion. The comparable EBITA margin is expected to be between 8.7% and 9.1%. Analysts estimate revenue growth at 6.9% for the next year. The company's restructuring efforts are ongoing, with a focus on improving profitability in Environment & Energy and Metals.

Valuation and Dividend

With a P/E Ratio of 14.68 and a Dividend Yield of 3.78%, ANDRITZ's valuation appears reasonable. The company's ROIC stands at 18%, an industry-leading level, although it has declined from previous levels. The proposed dividend increase to EUR 2.7 per share represents a payout ratio of 58%. The company's strong financial position, with sufficient liquidity and a net debt to EBITDA ratio of -0.1, supports its ability to return value to shareholders.
