Bosch, the supplier of technology and services, can look back on 2025 as an incredibly challenging financial year. According to preliminary figures, sales revenue was up slightly on the previous year’s level at 91 billion euros (2024: 90.3 billion euros). After adjusting for exchange-rate effects, sales revenue grew by 4.2 percent. At around 2 percent, the EBIT margin from operations was below expectations (2024: 3.5 percent). The main reasons for the sluggish growth in the past financial year were the weak economic environment, increased tariffs, and considerable provisions for necessary structural adjustments and the associated personnel measures. At 56 billion euros, sales revenue in the Mobility business sector was up slightly year on year by 0.3 percent. Adjusted for exchange-rate effects, this represents an increase of 3.1 percent. The Industrial Technology business sector generated sales revenue of 6.5 billion euros; a marginal increase of 0.9 percent in sales meant it was able to maintain the previous year’s level. Adjusted for exchange-rate effects, this was an increase of 3.2 percent. In the Consumer Goods business sector, sales revenue fell by 1.9 percent to 19.9 billion euros. Adjusted for exchange-rate effects, however, it rose by 4 percent. The Energy and Building Technology business sector generated sales revenue of 8.4 billion euros. Sales revenue increased year on year by 12.3 percent, or plus 15.3 percent when adjusted for exchange-rate effects. The acquisition of the HVAC solutions business more than offset the sale of the product business in the Building Technologies division.
