Revenue for the quarter was 238.7 mEUR, corresponding to organic growth of 2.1% compared to the same period last year.
Growth was driven by the Professional and Service businesses, and all three regions – EMEA, Americas and APAC – delivered organic growth in the quarter, reflecting early progress from Nilfisk’s strategic and structural initiatives.

Gross margin for the quarter was 41.2% (42.4% in Q3 2024), impacted by elevated US tariffs and softer demand, partly offset by pricing and production optimization. EBITDA before special items amounted to 30.1 mEUR, corresponding to a margin of 12.6%.

Jon Sintorn, CEO of Nilfisk, comments:
“In Q3 2025, our Professional Business delivered solid growth across EMEA, the Americas, and APAC, and Service delivered another strong quarter. Despite ongoing external headwinds, including tariffs and softer end-user demand, we maintained a stable margin and delivered higher free cash flow. We remain fully focused on executing our transformation and building a more resilient and profitable Nilfisk for the long term. These improvements show that our 2025 strategic roadmap is gaining traction and that our structural decisions are strengthening our competitiveness.”

Performance by business segment
The Professional Business delivered organic growth of 3.5%, driven by strong demand for Floorcare and Vacuum cleaners across all regions. The Service Business continued its positive momentum with 5.0% organic growth, supported by particularly strong performance in EMEA and the Americas. The Specialty Business declined by 7.7%, primarily due to weaker demand in Germany and the US, while the Consumer Business declined by 13.0%, reflecting softer demand for high-pressure washers and vacuum cleaners across European markets.

Performance by region
The EMEA region achieved organic growth of 0.1%, marking the seventh consecutive quarter of growth, supported by a solid performance in the Service Business. Excluding the Consumer Business and Privat Label, EMEA delivered 2.8% organic growth. The Americas returned to growth with 4.3% organic growth, reflecting improved commercial execution and a recovery from last year’s temporary shipment delays linked to the SAP roll-out. APAC delivered strong organic growth of 7.9%, driven by robust Professional Business performance and several large orders across key markets.

Profitability and outlook
EBITDA before special items was 30.1 mEUR (12.6%), compared to 30.9 mEUR (12.8%) in Q3 2024. Free cash flow improved to 10.5 mEUR versus 7.4 mEUR last year.
Nilfisk narrows its 2025 full-year outlook for organic growth. Organic growth is now expected to be around 1% (previously 1–3%).

The EBITDA margin before special items is maintained at 13–14%, supported based on tariffs being offset with supply chain activities and pricing as well as continued structural cost reductions.
