Jorg Walter, CFO of Rational AG, said: “The trends relevant to our business performance continue. In the long term, we expect growth in the mid to high single-digit percentage range. In light of current developments in Europe and in China, we consider sales revenue growth in the mid single-digit percentage range achievable for 2025.”
Walter further noted that no worldwide price increases are planned. On the other hand, investments in strategic projects and the expansion of the sales structure will be driven forward. Overall, Rational plans to increase the Group’s operating costs slightly faster than consolidated sales revenue. The company therefore anticipates an EBIT margin of around 26 percent for the full-year 2025. For the full-year 2024, Rational has recorded an EBIT margin of 26.3 percent.
