Preliminary figures from paragon for 2025 show a strong increase in earnings despite a decline in revenue

Delbrück, July 23, 2026 – paragon [ISIN DE0005558696] announces preliminary figures for the year 2025. Although revenue declined to €110.9 million last year, EBITDA increased by €0.6 million to €14.9 million thanks to cost discipline and the measures implemented. This corresponds to an EBITDA margin of 13.4% (previous year: 10.4%). Consolidated net income is now positive. The East Westphalian automotive supplier aims to maintain revenue at the €110 to €115 million level in the current year and achieve an EBITDA margin of 13%. New orders will not make a noticeable contribution to revenue until 2027/2028. Final figures will be published once the auditors have completed their review.
