The Claas Group generated sales of €4.9 billion for its 2025 financial year, which ended on September 30 (€5.0 billion in 2024).
Sales performance varied across the regions. While sales in Western Europe declined slightly, the Central Europe and Central Asia region recorded significant growth of 7.9%. In North and South America, strong sales growth in South America largely offset the decline in North America.
“In a challenging year for the agricultural machinery industry, we have performed well and further strengthened our position,” says CEO Jan-Hendrik Mohr. “We trust in our strategy, our innovative strength and, above all, our dedicated team.”
Despite ongoing political uncertainties and continued below-average commodity prices, Claas expects a slight recovery in the global agricultural machinery markets in 2026. However, the extent and speed of this recovery will vary from region to region.
Due to the reduction in inventories in the distribution channels and the expected slight market recovery, the company anticipates a moderate increase in sales for 2026.
However, this will be offset by additional costs for the expansion of sales structures, higher expenditure on R&D (€319.9 million in 2025), customs duties, and digitalization projects. As a result, a moderate decline in income before taxes is forecast. Claas consolidated net income for fiscal year 2025 was €230.3 million (€253.3 million in 2024).
