It had already emerged in recent months after the internal performance program had brought savings considerably through plan – on Thursday Lenzing AG also had black and white. In the first quarter of 2025, the fiber giant from Upper Austria made a profit and thus ended its own dry spell.
For the first time since the third quarter of 2022, the result after taxes is again in the positive area – and even very clear with 31.7 million. This is confirmed by Lenzing AG on his course, which has also led to staff savings in recent months to make themselves more resistant to crises. “We will not resolve and implement the measures that have been taken to fully implement the reversal,” emphasizes the CEO of the fiber giant from Upper Austria with Rohit Aggarwal.
Costs for raw materials, energy and logistics remain high
The Lenzing AG environment is still difficult. The company still announces the company that the restoration of global textile markets is still happening slowly and very unevenly. The amounts sold rise, but the prices remain low and there are still high raw material, energy and logistics costs.
The turnover of Lenzing AG increased from 2025 to 690.2 million euros in the first quarter. Turnover is working hard to win new customers for the most important fiber types and also for success in smaller markets. Aggarwal nevertheless inhibits expectations for the coming months: “The uncertainty of the markets has been further worsened by an increasingly aggressive customs policy.”
