Increased Continuation of Expansion for Bechtle's Deposit Value
Bechtle AG Reports International and Public Sector Growth
Bechtle AG, the German IT provider, has reported a resurgence in demand following a period of stagnation. The company's Q2 2025 performance reveals a recovery and positive momentum internationally and in the German public sector.
The company's business volume rose by 5.1% year-over-year to €1.93 billion, with strong international growth of 9.1%. Particularly the Benelux countries and the United Kingdom showed significant growth. Domestically, the German public sector was a key growth driver. Despite this, group-wide revenue increased only marginally by 0.8% to €1.49 billion.
The earnings before taxes (EBT) declined to €66.8 million from €83.8 million the previous year, partly because the prior year included a one-off positive effect of €7 million. As a result, EBT fell by around 20% year-over-year.
Bechtle remains confident and expects to meet its fiscal 2025 targets, projecting overall revenue growth between 0% and 5%. The company anticipates a need for acceleration in the second half of the year to offset four challenging years following a previously strong CAGR of 14.1% from 2015 to 2021.
Regarding a comparison to competitor Cancom, the search results do not provide direct comparative data on Cancom's performance or growth trends in international markets or the German public sector. Therefore, a precise comparison cannot be drawn from the current available information.
