Industrial Systems

In 2025, revenue for Industrial Systems amounted to €157.8 million, representing an increase of 1.6% compared to 2024. Within this segment, revenue at Rollepaal and Lan increased due to a well-filled order book at the start of the year and strong order intake during 2025. In contrast, revenue at Royal Pas Reform declined compared to 2024. The gross margin percentage remained stable. Operating costs increased but were offset by the higher revenue. As a result, the EBIT percentage remained at 16%. In absolute terms, operating profit for Industrial Systems increased in 2025 to €25.3 million (2024: €24.7 million).

Hightech Components

Revenue for Hightech Components amounted to €107.1 million, a decrease of €7.4 million compared to last year. This decrease was caused by declining revenue in the mobility and food sectors, while revenue in the health sector increased. The gross margin percentage was higher than last year, which meant that despite the lower revenue, the absolute gross margin remained in line with 2024. Operating costs decreased by €4.7 million compared to the previous year. This decrease is attributable to strict cost management and consolidation of the production sites in the Netherlands. Operating result for Hightech Components amounted to €8.0 million. Normalized operating result was €9.6 million (9.0% of revenue). Despite challenging market conditions, this represents a sharp improvement compared to the normalized operating result of €6.1 million in 2024.

Bart Aangenendt and Everien Slijkhuis (Co-CEOs) on the past year:

“The year 2025 began for us, as for many other companies, with significant uncertainties. The threat of a trade war with the United States and high import tariffs caused our markets to pause and investments to be postponed. This caution in the market continued through the summer. After the summer, the markets seemed to have become more accustomed to the uncertainties and started to recover.”

“We have had a very good year. Although revenue declined compared to 2024, we achieved the highest result ever. We are proud of that. We achieved this strong result by carefully managing costs and focusing on our added value. We are also pleased with the performance of Eqraft. Across the board, the performance of Hydratec Industries has improved.”

Meeting of Shareholders

This year’s General Meeting of Shareholders will be held on Friday, April 17, 2026 in Amersfoort.

Proposed dividend

Earnings per share in 2025 amount to €18.55. A dividend of €8.00 per share will be proposed to the General Meeting of Shareholders. This dividend distribution is in line with the policy to distribute at least 40% of profit after tax, excluding one-off gains. The net profit after dividend for 2025 will be added to the other reserves.

Expectations for the 2026 financial year

Hydratec started 2026 with a well-filled order book. The market position of the companies within their respective niches remains strong. In 2026, the shareholding in Proqraft Holding B.V. was further increased to 80%. As a result, Eqraft will be fully consolidated from 2026 onwards.

We do not expect any changes to our personnel, investment, or financing policies in 2026. However, due to macroeconomic developments such as volatile exchange rates, trade restrictions, supply chain uncertainties, and inflation, it is not possible to make specific statements regarding 2026.
