SBO AG reports profit drop but sees rising orders in H1 2026

SBO AG order backlog oilfield equipment 3D metal printing geothermal energy

SBO AG reported a significant decline in profits for the first half of 2026, with net income dropping from 18.5 million euros to 0.2 million euros. Sales also decreased by 19.3 percent to 204.7 million euros. The company attributed these results to the lagging effects of low order volumes in 2025, currency exchange fluctuations, and operational challenges stemming from the conflict in the Middle East.

Despite the drop in earnings, the company reported an 8.5 percent increase in new bookings to 235.3 million euros, bringing the total order backlog to 117.9 million euros, a 31.7 percent increase since the start of the year. CEO Klaus Mader stated that the company has passed its trough and is entering a new upcycle.

Growth is being driven by the Precision Technology division, which saw a 21.8 percent sequential revenue increase. SBO is also accelerating its diversification strategy, with new business areas such as 3D metal printing, geothermal energy, and high-performance materials now accounting for nearly 10 percent of total bookings.
