Stuttgart, July 30, 2025 – Despite a challenging economic environment, CENIT Group is reporting the strongest half-year sales figures in the company’s history, generating revenues of 103.7 mEUR (previous year: 99.4 mEUR/+4.4%). However, challenges related to the development of the US subsidiary Analysis Prime and customer behavior influenced by the economic situation are having a negative impact on operating earnings. CENIT achieves an EBIT of -3.7 mEUR in the first half-year 2025 (previous year: 2.0 mEUR).
Analysis Prime, which was just acquired in the fiscal year 2024, has not yet met expectations and contributed to the Group’s half-year results with a negative result of around -1.6 mEUR. The transformation of the PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) segment, which is currently in progress, is proceeding as expected, but is contributing to the half-year results with a negative effect of approximately -3.8 mEUR. CENIT does not expect these measures to have any material negative effect on its full-year forecast.
It is encouraging to note that operating cash flow for the first half year remained stable at around 10% of revenue, as in the same period of the previous year.
In line with the results achieved in the first half of 2025, the forecast for the full 2025 financial year has been revised. Due to the continuing impact of the economic environment on business expectations and the challenges associated with the development of Analysis Prime, the Management Board now anticipates revenue of at least 205.0 mEUR and EBIT of at least -1.5 mEUR.
It should be noted that the Management Board expects only a temporary slowdown in business. The medium-term management targets (Strategy 2030) remain unchanged.
The complete quarterly report as of June 30, 2025 will follow as announced on August 1, 2025 and will be available on our website: http://www.cenit.com/reports.

Der heimische Aktienmarkt kommt zur Wochenmitte kaum vom Fleck, wohingegen der deutsche Leitindex leicht abgibt. Die Börsen in Asien finden am Mittwoch keine gemeinsame Richtung.
