Published on 10/04/2026 at 19:08 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Jost Werke (ISIN DE000JST4000) generated EUR 440.2 million in revenue in Q2 2026, an increase of 12.7 percent from the prior-year quarter. The next reporting date is November 12, 2026, when the company plans to publish its 9M 2026 and Q3 2026 interim report, according to JOST Werke.
Hyva integration lifts quarterly growth
In a report dated September 15, 2026, Finanznachrichten said adjusted EBIT rose 18.5 percent to EUR 43.9 million in Q2 2026. Adjusted net income reached EUR 15.9 million, while free cash flow was EUR 17.3 million.
The operating margin reached 10.0 percent, placing it at the lower end of management's 10 percent to 12 percent target corridor. The report attributed the improvement to organic growth and synergies from the Hyva integration, which expanded JOST Werke's hydraulics portfolio and agricultural-market presence.
Margins meet the target corridor
The operating figures show a stronger conversion of sales into earnings than the revenue line alone suggests. Adjusted EBIT increased by 18.5 percent against revenue growth of 12.7 percent, a 5.8 percentage point difference that points to operating leverage in the quarter.
Leverage remained a central counter-factor. Finanznachrichten reported a leverage ratio of 1.81x in Q2 2026, within the company's stated 1.0x to 2.0x target range. Further debt reduction and the realization of acquisition synergies remain important for the earnings profile.
