From January to April 2025 the Hilti Group increased sales in local currencies by 1.4% compared to the same period last year. The appreciation of the Swiss franc in the reporting period led to a negative currency effect of 1.6 percentage points on sales, resulting in a decrease of 0.2% to CHF 2.099 billion.
European business remained stable overall. However, sales dropped by 2.7% in local currencies due to discontinued operations in Russia and Belarus. In the Americas, the Hilti Group increased sales by 9.1% in local currencies, with growth in both North and Latin America. The Asia/Pacific region grew by 0.1% in local currencies while the Middle East / Africa region grew by 10.1% in local currencies amid a positive market environment.
The Hilti Group expects comparable low single-digit sales growth in local currencies for the full year 2025.
