Fuchs, the world’s largest independent lubricant company, has revised its results outlook, blaming weak demand from key customer sectors, influenced by tariff discussions involving the US, low industrial output in Europe and persistent geopolitical tensions.

Based on preliminary figures published on its website, Fuchs Group expects sales of €1.8 billion and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of €209 million for the first half of 2025, compared with €1,764 million in sales and €218 million in EBIT in the same period of 2024.

Second quarter 2025 EBIT is projected at €101 million, below the €111 million reported in the same period of 2024 and under the market consensus of €112 million, the company said.

For the full year 2025, Fuchs forecasts sales and EBIT at the previous year’s levels, with 2024 results at €3.56 billion in sales and €434 million in EBIT. The revised outlook is below the prior forecast of approximately €3.7 billion in sales and €460 million in EBIT. Market consensus for 2025 estimates €3,660 million in sales and €459 million in EBIT.
