The OHB Group (ISIN: DE0005936124, Prime Standard) continued its profitable growth in fiscal year 2025. Total revenue for the reporting year amounted to EUR 1,247.6 million (previous year: EUR 1,030.2 million). Adjusted EBITDA reached EUR 125.6 million in fiscal year 2025, compared to EUR 111.1 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBIT amounted to EUR 84.0 million (prior year: EUR 72.0 million).
As in the previous year, the Executive Board and Supervisory Board will propose a dividend of EUR 0.60 per share to the Annual General Meeting for the 2025 fiscal year.
In the SPACE SYSTEMS segment, OHB achieved another major milestone in its corporate history during the past fiscal year by being selected for the first time as the prime contractor for the LISA “L-class” mission, the largest and most complex scientific mission of the European Space Agency (ESA). In addition, the Group expanded its presence in a growing space market with the establishment of OHB SPACE UK LTD in the United Kingdom. In the ACCESS TO SPACE segment, the contract for the series production of flight models 16 through 42 of the Ariane 6 launch vehicle by MT Aerospace AG enables the continued growth of launcher activities. At the same time, the customer base in this segment was further diversified through additional orders as a supplier of launch vehicle components in the U.S. commercial market and in the defense sector. Order intake in the DIGITAL segment reached a new record high of more than EUR 250 million. This was driven by both rising demand in satellite operations due to the increasing use of space for defense applications and the expansion of the downstream services offering.
At EUR 3,194 million (previous year: EUR 2,382 million) as of the balance sheet date, the order backlog has reached the highest level in the company’s history. The SPACE SYSTEMS segment accounts for the majority of the order backlog with a value of EUR 2,508 million; the order backlog in the ACCESS TO SPACE segment amounts to EUR 362 million, and the DIGITAL segment has an order backlog of EUR 324 million. These figures ensure sound, long-term planning security for the future.
In parallel with the OHB Group’s positive business performance, customers made several forward-looking budget decisions for the European space industry. These decisions form the strategic framework for the Group’s long-term growth: Among other things, a record-high budget of EUR 22.3 billion for the years 2026 through 2028 was approved at the ESA Ministerial Council meeting in November 2025. In addition, the Federal Republic of Germany plans to invest EUR 35 billion in military space infrastructure. The European Union’s next budget for the years 2028 to 2034 calls for investments of EUR 131 billion in the areas of resilience, defense, and space.
To position the Group for the planned growth associated with these developments, initial steps were taken last year to prepare for the rising demand for satellites and the increasing industrialization of the space industry: These include the relocation of OHB Sweden AB to expand manufacturing capacity and the acquisition of the TechniSat plant in Schöneck (now OHB Vogtland GmbH) as a production site for the series production of electronic components.
OHB SE’s complete consolidated financial statements for the 2025 fiscal year will be discussed in detail today at the annual results press conference in Bremen and during the subsequent virtual earnings presentation.
