Order intake rises 8.80 percent

According to Yahoo Finance on August 6, 2026, KSB increased first-half order intake by 8.80 percent, while sales revenue grew 0.40 percent. The comparison matters because the company is converting a larger order pipeline into only modest reported sales growth so far.

The same transcript put reported EBIT at EUR 98 million for the first half of fiscal year 2026. KSB also reported EUR 60 million of earnings after income tax and said second-quarter profitability reached EUR 64 million, making the quarter stronger than the first quarter.

Cost pressure tests margins

According to Yahoo Finance, KSB said material costs increased from 39 percent to more than 40 percent in H1 2026. Chinese competition, higher energy costs and logistics expenses added pressure, while management outlined structural cost reductions of EUR 30 million for fiscal year 2026.

The operating counterweight is a backlog of more than EUR 2 billion, according to Yahoo Finance. KSB said the backlog covers multiple years because of large energy projects, while its data-center business could generate EUR 100 million of order intake over the next three years.
