OHB Posts Record €3.2 Billion Backlog and Strong 2025 Earnings

Management cites rising institutional spending as a key tailwind.

Overview

  • The order backlog climbed to about €3.2 billion from roughly €2.4 billion a year earlier as demand for space and defense systems accelerated.
  • For 2025, OHB reported around €1.2 billion in revenue, approximately €73 million in EBIT, and about €50 million in net profit, marking a clear rebound from 2024.
  • CEO Marco Fuchs pointed to a reported German plan to invest €35 billion in military space infrastructure, along with a record ESA budget and higher EU outlays, as drivers of future growth.
  • Management said full order books provide long-term planning security, and the board will propose a €0.60 per-share dividend to shareholders.
  • OHB is in talks with Rheinmetall on a Bundeswehr communications satellite constellation, with Airbus mentioned as a potential consortium partner, a project Reuters has reported could reach up to €10 billion.
