3U HOLDING AG has released its preliminary, unaudited financial figures for 2025 alongside an outlook for 2026, revealing a year of strategic transition with mixed segment performance but a positive forecast for recovery. The Group reported consolidated revenue of approximately EUR 53.0 million for 2025, slightly below the previous year's EUR 55.7 million, while EBITDA fell to around EUR -3.7 million from EUR 3.8 million in 2024. This decline was attributed to increased expenses, restructuring measures, and a difficult market environment, particularly in the HVAC segment.
The ITC segment saw revenue drop to EUR 13.2 million from EUR 19.2 million, largely due to the virtual discontinuation of the Voice Retail business and strategic adjustments, though EBITDA remained sound at EUR 2.8 million. The Renewable Energies segment reported a slight revenue decrease to EUR 4.6 million, with EBITDA at EUR 2.9 million, as the Group focused on the Langendorf Wind Farm repowering project, which is expected to boost future performance. In contrast, the HVAC segment's revenue rose to EUR 36.2 million, thanks to the acquisition of the EMPUR Group, but organic growth lagged, and segment EBITDA worsened to EUR -6.4 million due to higher personnel costs and restructuring expenses.
Despite these challenges, 3U Holding AG's financial position remains solid, with a notable increase in non-current assets from investments like the wind farm repowering and Bitcoin portfolio expansion. The Management Board views 2025 as a transition year and projects a favorable outlook for 2026, anticipating consolidated revenue between EUR 55.0 million and EUR 60.0 million and EBITDA of EUR 6.0 million to EUR 8.0 million. Key drivers include the completed Langendorf project, which is expected to more than double Renewable Energies revenue to over EUR 10.0 million with EBITDA around EUR 8.0 million, and strategic realignments in the ITC and HVAC segments aimed at improving profitability.
For business and technology leaders, this announcement highlights the importance of strategic pivots in volatile markets. The shift toward renewable energy and digitalization, as seen in 3U's focus on expanding Managed Services and optimizing HVAC processes, underscores broader industry trends toward sustainability and efficiency. The projected recovery in 2026 suggests that early investments in restructuring can yield significant returns, offering a case study in resilience for companies navigating similar transitions. More information on the Group's development will be detailed in the 2025 Annual Report, scheduled for publication on 31 March 2026, with a webcast available for interested parties.
