PRELIMINARY STATEMENTWith the start of financial year 2026, the "Intralogistics" segment has been replaced by the two reportable segments "Industrial Trucks & Services" (ITS) and "Automation & Warehouse Equip-ment" (AWE). The new "Industrial Trucks & Services" segment contains the business fields of new business, short-term rental and used equipment, as well as customer services. New business especially includes new material handling equipment including related accessories and solutions, as well as factory and office equipment. Short-term rental and used equipment comprise the short-term provision of material handling equipment and the sale of used equipment. Customer services consists of providing service and repair, as well as maintenance of products assigned to the segment. The new "Automation & Warehouse Equipment" segment is divided into the business fields of automation and warehouse equipment. Automation comprises planning, developing and commissioning integrated automation and warehousing equipment solutions, mobile robots, software solutions and associated service, repair and maintenance. Warehouse equipment simply comprises warehouse equipment. The "Financial Services" segment (FS) remains unchanged.
The Group figures include not only the values of the ITS and AWE segments but also the FS segment as well as consolidation effects.
BUSINESS TREND, EARNINGS AND FINANCIAL POSITIONIncoming orders and orders on hand
The Jungheinrich Group's incoming orders were €1,535 million in the reporting period, which was an increase of 10.8 per cent compared with the previous year (€1,386 million). Among other things, this was due to pull-forward effects in the first quarter of 2026 resulting from price increases in the ITS segment. Incoming orders in the ITS segment were €1,275 million in the reporting period, representing a rise of 9.4 per cent compared with the previous year's value of €1,165 million. The business field of new business in particular contributed to this growth. The incoming orders relating to the AWE segment came to €277 million, which was an increase of 17.9 per cent compared with the previous year (€235 million). Both business fields - automation and warehouse equipment - contributed to this growth.
The Jungheinrich Group's orders on hand totalled €1,590 million as of 31 March 2026 and were therefore 4.5 per cent higher than in the previous year (€1,521 million). In comparison with the orders on hand of €1,329 million at the end of 2025, an increase of €261 million or 19.6 per cent was recorded. Orders on hand in the ITS segment came to €939 million (31 December 2025:
€749 million). In the AWE segment, orders on hand totalled €651 million (31 December 2025:
€580 million).
Revenue
In the reporting period, declining revenue in the ITS segment contrasted with revenue growth in the AWE segment, resulting in Group revenue of €1,272 million (previous year: €1,305 million). Revenue in the ITS segment came to €1,079 million in the reporting period (previous year:
€1,133 million). This decline was especially due to a decrease recorded by the business field of new business, which was partly offset by an increase in revenue within the business field of customer services. The AWE segment recorded revenue of €205 million (previous year: €189 million). The business field of automation was the main contributor to the revenue growth. Revenue in the FS segment was €351 million (previous year: €343 million).

Earnings and financial position
Earnings before interest and income taxes (EBIT) dropped sharply in the reporting period to
€56.5 million (previous year: €104.5 million). EBIT return on sales decreased accordingly to
4.4 per cent (previous year: 8.0 per cent). EBIT included one-off effects resulting from the sale of the Russian subsidiary in February 2026 in the amount of €20.5 million, the strike at the Lüneburg plant, which ended in February, in the amount of €4.8 million and the transformation programme launched in July 2025 in the amount of €1.4 million. There were no one-off effects in the previous year's period. Excluding the previously mentioned one-off effects, EBIT would have come to €83.2 million and EBIT return on sales to 6.5 per cent.
The result also reflects increased price pressure caused by an intense competitive environment and negative capacity utilisation effects.
Furthermore, EBIT included effects from purchase price allocations and variable compensation in the amount of €4 million, as in the previous year, resulting from acquisitions.
EBIT in the ITS segment came to €51.6 million, down from €106.0 million in the previous year. EBIT return on sales was 4.8 per cent (previous year: 9.4 per cent). This includes one-off effects resulting from the sale of the Russian subsidiary (€20.5 million), the strike at the Lüneburg plant (€4.8 million), which ended in February, and the transformation programme (€2.3 million). Excluding these one-off effects, EBIT would have come to €79.2 million and EBIT return on sales to
7.3 per cent. EBIT in the AWE segment was €−4.5 million (previous year: €−7.5 million). EBIT return on sales came to −2.2 per cent, following −4.0 per cent in the previous year. This includes a release of provisions in the amount of €0.9 million in connection with the transformation programme. Excluding this one-off effect, this led to EBIT of €−5.4 million and EBIT return on sales of −2.6 per cent. In addition, the previously mentioned effects of purchase price allocations and variable remuneration were reflected in full in the AWE segment. EBIT in the FS segment was
€3.3 million (previous year: €1.8 million).
The financial result totalled €−10.3 million (previous year: €−7.4 million) and was particularly influenced by the results of the measurement of the securities and derivatives held in the special fund as well as by a lower interest result. At €46.2 million, earnings before taxes (EBT) were down by 52.4 per cent year on year (€97.1 million). EBT return on sales was 3.6 per cent (previous year: 7.4 per cent).
Profit or loss amounted to €26.2 million (previous year: €68.9 million). Earnings per preferred share were €0.27 (previous year: €0.69).
Net credit stood at €172 million as of 31 March 2026, up slightly from the figure at the end of 2025 (net credit of €160 million). Free cash flow from January to March decreased to €0 million (previous year: €16 million).
EMPLOYEESAs of 31 March 2026, Jungheinrich employed a total of 20,856 people on a full-time basis throughout the Group (31 March 2025: 21,024). The change was mainly due to the departure of around 600 employees in connection with the deconsolidation of the Russian subsidiary. This contrasted with the increase in employees in the Business Excellence Centres. Jungheinrich also had 376 temporary workers active throughout the Group (31 March 2025: 530 temporary workers).
