Heckler & Koch has entered the 2025 financial year with clear growth momentum. Order intake in the first quarter of 2025 amounted to €99.8 million (Q1 2024: €80.1 million; +24.5%) - a testament to the consistently high level of trust that user nations within the Western alliance place in Heckler & Koch products. The tense security situation in Europe and beyond continues to drive strong demand for modern, reliable equipment. Sales were also increased in the first quarter - to €81.6 million (Q1 2024: €75.0 million; +8.7%). The processing of increased call-offs and proactive production planning had a positive impact on earnings: the operating result (EBITDA) rose significantly to €14.7 million (Q1 2024: €9.2 million; +59.4%). As a result, net income after taxes (EAT) also improved to €5.7 million (Q1 2024: €2.4 million; +137%).

“The current figures show: We are well positioned for ongoing high demand. Our products and services meet the needs of our customers,” explains CEO Dr.-Ing. Jens Bodo Koch. “With the first call-off of the new standard assault rifle G95 A1/G95 KA1, what is likely the most significant project in the field of handguns for the Bundeswehr since the introduction of the G3 begins. We are very pleased that things are finally getting underway.”
