(Reuters) -Italian engineering group Maire reported on Thursday a 36.2% increase in first half profit, benefiting from higher sales, and upgraded its guidance for 2025.
Maire’s core profit rose to 232.1 million euros ($265.2 million) which the company said reflected efficient management of overhead costs.
Maire also revised its full year guidance, now forecasting revenue between 6.8 billion and 7.0 billon euros, and EBITDA in the range between 460 million euros and 490 million euros.
Maire had previously forecasted revenue between 6.4 and 6.6 billion euros, and EBITDA in the range between 420 and 455 million euros.
Order intake rose to 5.63 billion euros, up 2.21 billion euros year-on-year, driven mainly by the new contracts of the sustainable technology solutions business unit, led by NEXTCHEM.
