Montana Aerospace with a strong start to the year – profit and revenue significantly increased in the first quarter
The Austrian aerospace and energy supplier Montana Aerospace is defying the weak market conditions among major customers such as Airbus and Boeing and reports a strong increase in revenue, profit, and EBITDA for the first quarter of 2025. The energy segment in particular is benefiting from the high demand for high-voltage infrastructure.
The internationally active aerospace and energy supplier Montana Aerospace, a company owned by Austrian industrialist Michael Tojner, recorded strong growth in the first quarter of 2025.
Despite challenging conditions in the aviation industry—especially due to weak order volumes from major customers such as Airbus and Boeing—the company succeeded in significantly increasing both revenue and profit.
Is the aviation industry headed for a crash?
According to the publicly listed company headquartered in Switzerland, net profit nearly doubled compared to the same quarter of the previous year—from approximately EUR 2.7 million to EUR 5.3 million. Revenue rose by 15.1 percent in the first quarter to EUR 408.8 million, a clear indicator of the company’s solid operational performance. Particularly noteworthy is the adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), which increased by 31 percent to EUR 48.8 million.
“Despite a weak market situation among major customers such as Airbus and Boeing, the company succeeded in efficiently utilizing its capacities through new orders and market share gains in the Aerostructures segment.”
Strong growth in the Aerostructures and Energy divisions
The Aerostructures segment, which includes structural components for aircraft, impressed with new customer orders and gains in market share. The company’s strategic focus on expanding production capacity and tapping into new market segments is clearly paying off.
The Energy division—another key business area for Montana Aerospace—also recorded strong demand, particularly in the high-voltage infrastructure segment. Revenue in this area also increased by about 15 percent. Both divisions—Aerostructures and Energy—achieved above-average growth in EBITDA, highlighting the efficiency and profitability of the business.
Significant improvement in operating profit (EBIT):
It rose from EUR 14.1 million in the first quarter of 2024 to EUR 23.6 million. The EBITDA margin also increased to 11.9 percent, up from 10.5 percent in the same period last year.
There was a slight burden in the financial segment: “The financial result deteriorated to -EUR 17.8 million, impacted by negative currency effects.”
