2025 Financial Year

 2025 Figures: KSB Outperforms Previous Year

 ·      Growth in order intake, sales revenue and earnings

 ·      EBIT increased to € 252.1 million and margin to 8.3 %

 ·      Dividend proposal of € 26.50 per ordinary share

 FRANKENTHAL: Pump and valve manufacturer KSB continues its path of growth: In
 the 2025 financial year, the company passed the € 3 billion mark in both
 order intake and, for the first time, sales revenue. The SDAX-listed Group
 also increased its EBIT (earnings before finance income / expense and income
 tax).

 In the 2025 financial year, KSB increased order intake by 2.9 % to
 € 3,203 million. Adjusted for currency translation effects, order intake
 would have increased by 5.6 %. The Pumps Segment reported the strongest
 growth of 6.1 % to € 1,760 million, which was driven, in particular, by
 the Water Market, which grew by 12.5 %. The Valves Segment reported order
 intake of € 413 million, a year-on-year increase of 1.4 %. In the KSB
 SupremeServ Segment, which covers business with spare parts and service, order
 intake declined by 1.7 % to € 1,031 million. Reasons for this were
 currency translation effects and lower demand for spare parts from the Mining
 and Energy Markets.

 Sales revenue at KSB exceeded the € 3 billion mark for the first time in
 the 2025 financial year, increasing by 2.3 % to € 3,035 million. Adjusted
 for currency translation effects, sales revenue would have been up 5.0 %. The
 Pumps Segment reported the highest growth, increasing by 4.3 % to € 1,618
 million. The Valves Segment reported sales revenue of € 404 million, a rise
 of 1.3 %. At € 1,013 million, sales revenue in the KSB SupremeServ
 Segment remained at around the previous year's level. It was impacted by both
 currency translation effects and a 5 % decline in sales revenue in the Mining
 Market. In all other Markets, sales revenue remained stable or slightly above
 the prior-year level, adjusted for currency translation effects.

 In absolute terms, Europe remained the strongest Region both for order intake
 and sales revenue. The Region Middle East / Africa achieved the highest
 percentage growth, with order intake and sales revenue increasing by 7.0 %
 and 7.6 %. Almost all Regions, with the exception of Europe, were impacted by
 negative currency translation effects during the reporting period.

 KSB reported 3.2 % growth in earnings before finance income / expense and
 income tax (EBIT) to € 252.1 million. This equates to a margin of 8.3 %.
 The moderate increase was primarily attributable to the rise in EBIT in the
 Pumps Segment, which grew from € 40.5 million to € 71.3 million. In
 contrast, the Valves and KSB SupremeServ Segments reported a decline in
 earnings. In the Valves Segment, EBIT amounted to € −3.6 million, down
 € 2.8 million from € −0.8 million in the previous year. In the
 KSB SupremeServ Segment, EBIT fell by € 20.0 million to € 184.5
 million. External costs for the migration of the current SAP system to
 SAP S/4HANA of € 26.6 million (previous year: € 15.4 million)
 impacted EBIT in all three Segments.

 "The 2025 financial year was once again marked by global political upheavals
 and increasing barriers to trade, which brought uncertainties. Financial
 figures for the Group were also impacted by negative currency translation
 effects due to the stronger euro. With the highly dedicated and professional
 KSB team, however, we succeeded in playing to our strengths and keeping the
 company on its growth course with the result that the 2025 financial year was
 once again the best yet for the Group," said Dr Stephan Timmermann, CEO.

 KSB shareholders are also to share in the company's 2025 success. Management
 will propose to the Annual General Meeting to distribute a dividend of
 € 26.50 per ordinary share and € 26.76 per preference share.

 In the 2025 financial year, to further consolidate the growth of recent years
 and create additional value for shareholders, KSB increased investments to
 € 180 million. Investments were largely focused on the Region Europe,
 followed by sites in the Americas and Asia.

 Continuity in Management is important to KSB. At the end of 2025, the
 Administrative Board extended the contracts of three Managing Directors. The
 Management team comprising Dr Stephan Timmermann, Dr Stephan Bross, Ralf
 Kannefass and Dr Matthias Schmitz will thus continue to lead the company
 until the end of 2027.

 Dr Timmermann again expects challenging conditions for the 2026 financial
 year. "Armed conflicts, trade barriers and economic downturns will continue to
 impact us in 2026. The geopolitical situation is extremely tense as a result
 of the war in the Middle East. While we are already feeling the impact of
 increased energy and logistics costs, it is impossible to estimate the wider
 implications of this conflict at the present time. We do assume that the
 accompanying upheavals will be reflected in KSB's key indicators for the first
 months of the year. Nevertheless, we are still looking to the financial year
 ahead with confidence, as well as cost awareness. We believe in the resilience
 of our company, the quality of our strategy and the strength of our
 workforce."

 KSB is a leading international manufacturer of pumps and valves. The
 Frankenthal-based Group has a presence on five continents with its own sales
 and marketing organisations, manufacturing facilities and service operations.
 With a workforce of around 16,800, the KSB Group generated sales revenue in
 excess of € 3 billion in the 2025 financial year.
