Danieli Group has announced its financial results for the fiscal year ending 30 June 2025, confirming its resilience in a challenging global steelmaking environment. The Italian industrial Group reported revenues of €4.2 billion, a slight decrease of 3% compared to the previous year, but achieved significant improvements in profitability and operational efficiency.
Danieli Group strengthens profitability and confirms balanced dividend policy
EBITDA increased by 12% to €437.8 million, while operating profit rose by 37% to €303.1 million. The net profit attributable to the Group stood at €220.1 million, down 9% compared to the previous year. Shareholders’ equity increased by 5% to €2.76 billion, reflecting Danieli Group’s solid financial position and long-term growth strategy. The company’s global workforce remained above 10,000 employees, slightly down from 10,365 last year, demonstrating a stable employment base despite ongoing optimization efforts. The Board of Directors proposed a dividend distribution of €0.31 per ordinary share and €0.33 per savings share, for a total pay-out of €22.9 million. This distribution, fully drawn from the year’s distributable profit, continues the company’s strategy of balancing shareholder rewards with sustained reinvestment. Over the past ten years, Danieli Group has reinvested more than 85% of its profits to strengthen its industrial base and promote cutting-edge technologies. With over a century of history and a leading position among the top three global suppliers of machinery and plants for the steel industry, Danieli Group is synonymous with innovation, reliability and strategic vision. With approximately 10,000 employees worldwide and over 25 divisions, the company operates as a full-cycle partner for the metals sector, offering cutting-edge, efficient, sustainable and tailor-made solutions capable of transforming raw materials into finished products with the highest quality and environmental responsibility.
Plantmaking drives results as Danieli Group prepares for a stronger 2026
The Plantmaking division achieved results in line with expectations, recording EBITDA of €384.1 million. The performance was supported by the solid execution of project contracts, although the division absorbed extraordinary costs related to the start-up of innovative plants. In contrast, the ABS (Acciaierie Bertoli Safau) steel division faced a challenging year due to the surge in energy prices in Italy, particularly during the second half of 2024. Despite generating EBITDA of €53.7 million, the division closed the year with a loss of €30.2 million. Production volumes decreased by 10% to 1.1 million tonnes, but Danieli Group expects to restore the ABS furnaces to full capacity in the next fiscal year, enabling increased production from the new rolling mills. As of 30 June 2025, the company’s order portfolio stood at €5.38 billion, compared to €5.75 billion in the previous year, with €271 million related to special steels. The order portfolio remains well diversified across both geographic regions and product categories, ensuring stability and flexibility in future operations. Looking ahead to the 2025/26 financial year, the Group expects revenues of between €4.2 and €4.3 billion, EBITDA of between €430 and €450 million, and adjusted net liquidity of between €700 and €800 million. The order portfolio is expected to stabilise at between €5.7 and €6 billion. Danieli Group emphasized its continued focus on productivity, cost optimization, and technological innovation as key drivers for future growth. Management also noted that recent government and EU measures have helped mitigate energy price pressures, which should lead to improved profitability in the coming year.
