voestalpine reports improved Q1–3 earnings; High Performance Metals Division sharpens focus
voestalpine, Linz, Austria, has reported solid results for the first three quarters (April 1–December 31, 2025) of the 2025/26 fiscal year, with revenue of €11.1 billion. The company attributes the performance to its group strategy and regional diversification.
For the metal powders sector, voestalpine’s activities are positioned within its High Performance Metals Division, which includes high-performance steels, specialty alloys and powder-based materials for demanding applications such as aerospace and advanced industrial markets.
“As voestalpine, we react quickly and adapt,” stated Herbert Eibensteiner, CEO of voestalpine AG. “Our actions are reflected in the rise in earnings figures and the strong free cash flow.”
The High Performance Metals Division is concentrating its product portfolio on the technologically demanding segment of high-performance materials. This includes advanced alloy systems and material solutions that underpin the company’s Additive Manufacturing and metal powder activities. Following the sale of Buderus Edelstahl in Wetzlar, Germany, site consolidations outside Austria, capacity adjustments at voestalpine BÖHLER Bleche in Mürzzuschlag, Austria, and the sale of voestalpine BÖHLER Profil, the High Performance Metals Division has largely completed the restructuring of its portfolio.
Revenue fell by 5.1% year-on-year to €11.1 billion (Q3 2024/25: €11.7 billion) due to the extensive reorganisation measures. The operating result (EBITDA) improved to €1 billion (Q3 2024/25: €968 million).
The profit from operations (EBIT) rose by 20.9% year-on-year to €473 million. Consolidated earnings before taxes increased significantly by 46.5% to €372 million, while profit after taxes increased by 25.1% to €259 million.

Cash flow continued to develop strongly. Cash flow from operating activities increased by 53.3% year-on-year, amounting to €1.1 billion in the first three quarters of the 2025/26 business year.
While the group’s results do not break out metal powder performance separately, voestalpine’s powder production and Additive Manufacturing-related capabilities form part of the High Performance Metals Division’s advanced materials portfolio.
The voestalpine AG Management Board has reported that it continues to expect EBITDA in the range of €1.4–1.55 billion for the 2025/26 fiscal year.
