 KSB satisfied with the first quarter of 2025

 ·      Higher order intake and sales revenue

 ·      Migration to SAP S/4HANA makes good progress

 ·      Forecast for 2025 confirmed

 FRANKENTHAL: The Frankenthal-based pump and valve manufacturer KSB continued
 the positive trend of the 2024 financial year in the first quarter of 2025.
 Order intake and sales revenue as well as earnings before finance
 income / expense and income tax (EBIT), adjusted for the costs of
 introducing SAP S/4HANA, were up on the comparative quarter of the previous
 year.

 In the first quarter of the 2025 financial year, KSB increased order
 intake by 1.8 % to € 878 million. The Pumps Segment achieved the
 strongest increase of 6.7 % to € 483 million. At +0.4 %, order intake in
 the KSB SupremeServ Segment remained almost constant, while the Valves
 Segment reported a decline of 12.5 % to € 111 million. In the Pumps
 Segment, the Mining Market Area was able to increase order intake by 34.5 %
 to € 28 million. The Standard Markets operating segment increased its order
 intake by 15.3 % year on year, from € 346 million to € 399 million.
 This was due, in particular, to major orders in the water market. Compared
 with the first quarter of 2024, which benefited from major individual orders,
 the Energy Market Area reported a 34.7 % decline in order intake to
 € 56 million.

 KSB increased sales revenue by 2.3 % to € 709 million in the first three
 months. The Valves Segment achieved the strongest increase, with growth of
 10.2 % to € 103 million. The Pumps Segment posted a 1.7 % increase in
 sales revenue to € 373 million. The Energy and Mining Market Areas recorded
 above-average growth, while sales revenue stagnated in the Standard Markets
 operating segment. Sales revenue of € 232 million (+ 0.0 %) generated by
 KSB SupremeServ was unchanged from the previous year.

 In the first quarter of 2025, KSB achieved EBIT of € 45.5 million
 (previous year: € 48.4 million). EBIT were impacted by external costs of
 € 7.5 million for the SAP S/4HANA transformation, compared with € 0.5
 million in the same quarter of the previous year. Adjusted for this effect,
 KSB increased EBIT in the first quarter to € 53.0 million and the EBIT
 margin to 7.5 % compared with 7.1 % in the prior-year period. The Pumps
 Segment achieved EBIT of € 6.9 million (previous year: € 5.4 million)
 thanks to higher earnings generated in the Standard Markets operating segment.
 EBIT in the Valves Segment of € - 0.3 million were practically unchanged
 from the previous year, but declined by € 4.3 million in the
 KSB SupremeServ Segment to € 38.8 million. The external transformation
 costs for the introduction of SAP S/4HANA impacted all Segments.

 Dr Stephan Timmermann, CEO, comments: "In the context of the current global
 economic situation, we are very satisfied with the first quarter. Although we
 know that the global uncertainties - in particular from the upheaval caused by
 the tariff policy and the dollar devaluation strategy - make forecasting very
 difficult, we will keep the company's performance within the target corridors
 for order intake, sales revenue and earnings."

 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 16,400, the KSB Group generated sales revenue of
 approximately € 3 billion in the 2024 financial year.
