Half-year results 2025 of Sartorius Stedim Biotech
 
  • Sales revenue at 1,490 million euros, up 9.4 percent in constant currencies1 (reported: 8.5 percent)
  • As expected, very positive development in high-margin consumables business continues
  • Underlying EBITDA1 increases overproportionately by 19.3 percent to 462 million euros, EBITDA margin reaches 31.0 percent
  • Management confirms guidance for 2025

Sartorius Stedim Biotech, a leading partner to the biopharmaceutical industry, continued its strong performance during the first half of 2025 and recorded significant growth in both sales revenue and profitability.

“In the first six months of the year, our high-margin recurring business with consumables has continued to grow, as expected, also contributing to a substantially enhanced profitability. Driven by strong underlying customer demand for single-use solutions for bioprocessing, we have seen sales revenue increase across all regions,” said Dr. René Fáber, CEO of Sartorius Stedim Biotech. “Our innovative technologies enable customers to bring existing therapies to patients faster and at lower cost – while unlocking new treatment possibilities. Given the robust results of the first half of the year and the ongoing promising trends in the biopharma market, we remain confident in our outlook for the remainder of 2025.”

Business development1
In the first half of the fiscal year, Sartorius Stedim Biotech recorded an increase in sales revenue of 9.4 percent in constant currencies (reported: 8.5 percent) to 1.490 million euros. As expected, this growth was led by the high-margin recurring business with consumables, while the industry-wide reluctance of customers to invest continued to impact the equipment and systems business. All regions contributed to the positive development: The Americas region reported a substantial year-over-year gain of 11.0 percent in constant currencies, EMEA2 grew by 8.7 percent and sales revenue in the Asia/Pacific region was up 8.1 percent.

Underlying EBITDA rose even more significantly than sales revenue, increasing by a strong 19.3 percent to 462 million euros, mainly due to volume and product mix effects as well as economies of scale. The corresponding margin grew by 2.8 percentage points to 31.0 percent (PY 28.2 percent).

Underlying net profit increased by 38.3 percent to 228 million euros (PY 165 million euros) and net profit after non-controlling interest surged by 48.2 percent to 154 million euros (PY 104 million euros) in the first six months of the year. Underlying earnings per share rose to 2.34 euros (PY 1.71 euros) and earnings per share to 1.58 euros (PY 1.08 euros).

As of June 30, 2025, the company employed 10,030 people, slightly exceeding the number of employees at year-end 2024 (December 31, 2024: 9,901), mainly due to the hiring of additional production personnel.

In the first half of the year, the company expanded its product portfolio to enable customers to further enhance the productivity of their drug manufacturing processes. This included two modules of a platform for continuous manufacturing processes that were launched in collaboration with a major customer. Delivering significantly higher efficiency, the system is also designed to reduce the use of resources in biopharma production. In the field of filtration, a high-throughput filter – featuring a PFAS-free membrane – was introduced to the market. Developed for form and fill applications, the new filter helps to increase efficiency and reduce material waste, while supporting customers’ future-proof supply chain.

Key financial indicators
Sartorius Stedim Biotech’s balance sheet and key financial figures remain at very robust levels. Equity totaled 4,039 million euros as of June 30, 2025, with an equity ratio1 of 48.6 percent (December 31, 2024: 4,024 million euros and 48.7 percent, respectively).

Investments in the company’s global research and production infrastructure amounted to 141 million euros compared with 189 million euros in the prior year period. The ratio of capital expenditure to sales revenue was 9.5 percent (PY 13.8 percent).

Gross debt totaled 2,969 million euros, net debt 2,270 million euros (December 31, 2024: 2,869 million euros and 2,191 million euros, respectively). As planned, the ratio of net debt to underlying EBITDA1 was reduced further and stood at 2.7 (December 31, 2024: 2.8).

Guidance for fiscal 2025 
Based on the first half-year results and the expected continued positive market development, management confirms its guidance for the full year and projects organic sales revenue growth of around 7 percent for fiscal 2025, at this point in time with a forecast range of around plus/minus two percentage points due to the continued above-average volatility. In terms of profitability, management anticipates an underlying EBITDA margin of around 30 to 31 percent compared with the prior-year figure of 28.0 percent.

The sales revenue and margin forecast does not include possible effects of tariffs or related mitigating and corrective measures, which, depending on their design, scope, and duration, could impact sales revenue and margin development temporarily to a certain extent. Management does not expect any influence on the strong market position and competitiveness of Sartorius Stedim Biotech. 
 
The ratio of capital expenditure to sales revenue is expected to be around 13 percent (PY 12.2 percent), and the ratio of net debt to underlying EBITDA1 around 2.5 (PY 2.8).
