Heckler & Koch continues its growth trajectory

• Order intake: EUR 802 million
• Revenue: EUR 393 million
• Operating profit (EBITDA): EUR 67.9 million
• Earnings after taxes (EAT): EUR 39.5 million
• Investments of over EUR 200 million planned for capacity expansion

Heckler & Koch continued its growth trajectory in fiscal year 2025 and made targeted investments in expanding its industrial capacity. Revenue and earnings developed positively. At the same time, the company is responding with additional investments to the persistently high demand from security agencies and armed forces.

Revenue rose to EUR 393 million (previous year: EUR 343.4 million, +14.4%). Operating profit (EBITDA) stood at EUR 67.9 million (previous year: EUR 63.1 million, +7.6%), while profit after tax (EAT) increased to EUR 39.5 million (previous year: EUR 31.5 million, +25.4%). This confirms that 2025 was a year of robust financial performance.

These developments demonstrate Heckler & Koch’s ability to steadily increase its production capability. Planned investments in automation, modern infrastructure and optimised production processes are expected to further enhance productivity.

Order intake in fiscal year 2025 amounted to EUR 802 million (previous year: EUR 426.2 million) and provides a solid foundation for the utilisation of expanded production capacities in the coming years. It also underlines the continued strong demand for modern and reliable equipment for security forces and armed forces.

“The global security environment remains tense. At the same time, our customers rightly expect the highest quality and reliable delivery,” explains CEO Dr.-Ing. Jens Bodo Koch. “This is why we are consistently investing in capacity, technology and infrastructure.”

With the successful completion of the HK100 investment programme (total investment of EUR 100 million), Heckler & Koch has increased its industrial capacity and modernised key capabilities. Building on this, the company plans further investments of over EUR 200 million in the coming years, including the expansion of production capacity at the Oberndorf site, the acquisition of additional industrial infrastructure and targeted efficiency improvements.

Chief Financial Officer Andreas Schnautz emphasises:
“Our financial performance demonstrates that Heckler & Koch operates on a stable and profitable basis. At the same time, we are making targeted investments in the future of our company. Expanding our capacities and further enhancing our production processes will secure our long-term competitiveness.”

Security agencies and armed forces in Germany, Europe and across the transatlantic alliance continue to rely on the quality and reliability of Heckler & Koch’s products.

Chief Sales Officer Marco Geißinger explains:
“Our customers require systems that perform reliably and precisely under all operational conditions. This trust in our products confirms our technological expertise and our consistent focus on the requirements of police and military customers.”

Looking ahead, the Executive Board considers the company to be strategically well positioned. The combination of strong demand, expanded production capacity and ongoing investment provides a solid foundation for continued stable business development.

“We are making targeted investments in technology, innovation, our people and sustainability. These investments strengthen our industrial base and ensure that we remain a reliable and resilient partner for our customers,” says Dr. Koch.
