SCHAEFFLER IMPROVES PROFITABILITY IN FIRST HALF OF 2026

Schaeffler AG published its interim financial report for the first half of 2026 today. In a persistently challenging market environment, the company generated 11,667 million euros in revenue, which was at the prior-year level (prior year: 11,845 million euros). At constant currency, revenue grew by 0.4 percent. Its diversified structure as a Motion Technology Company with four product-oriented divisions enabled the Schaeffler Group to offset declining market trends in certain segments with growth in other areas.

At group level, the Americas (0.9 percent) and Asia/Pacific (7.1 percent) regions increased their revenue at constant currency during the reporting period. Europe (-0.5 percent) and Greater China (-3.7 percent) region revenue was below prior year at constant currency.

The Schaeffler Group generated 549 million euros in EBIT before special items in the first six months of the year (prior year: 482 million euros). This represents an EBIT margin before special items of 4.7 percent (prior year: 4.1 percent).

“Despite a persistently challenging and rapidly changing global environment, the Schaeffler Group maintained its revenue at the prior-year level in the first half of 2026 and generated good earnings. Key to this is our diverse structure as a Motion Technology Company with four product-oriented divisions and our new growth areas. Especially in the areas of humanoid robotics and defense, we have continued to achieve good progress during the reporting period. As an integrated technology group, we are able to respond flexibly to dynamic market developments and to largely offset their impact within our portfolio. We confirm our full-year guidance for 2026,” says Klaus Rosenfeld, CEO of Schaeffler AG.
