Switzerland: These figures were published in the Swiss manufacturer’s annual report.
Last year, floods affected its sites in Valencia, Spain, and Dürnrohr, Austria. Aluminium profile supplier Constellium’s plant in the Swiss canton of Valais was also flooded. Around 50 orders were delayed by the disasters.
This resulted in the deferral of order revenues of around CHF 350 mln (€365.8 mln) to the 2025 and 2026 financial years. Supply chain disruptions and software problems delayed the deadlines for a major order for metro trains for Berlin. All this has weighed on the 2024 financials, with sales down 10% to CHF 3.3 bln (€3.4 bln) and profits down 1.5 times to CHF 55 mln (€57.4 mln). According to Stadler, around 500 units of various rolling stock were delivered to customers over the past year.
At the same time, the end of 2024 witnessed further increase in Stadler’s backlog of orders to CHF 29.2 bln (€30.5 bln), or +19.7% by 2023. The current backlog includes 360 orders, with sales expected to grow to more than CHF 5 bln (€5.2 bln) by 2026.
