Bordeaux-based industrial technology company Lectra has reported revenue of US $ 410.3 million for the first nine months of 2025, representing a 2% decline compared with the same period last year. The company noted, however, that recurring revenue increased by 2%, now accounting for 75% of total turnover.
The third quarter proved particularly difficult, with revenue falling by 8% on a reported basis and 4% on a like-for-like basis to US $ 130.3 million. Net profit for the quarter dropped by 29% to US $ 7.7 million.
For the January–September period, the company posted EBITDA before non-recurring items of US $ 67 million, down 8% on a like-for-like basis. Lectra attributed the decline to a challenging global business environment, with many clients delaying investment decisions amid trade tensions involving the United States, Mexico, China, and India.
In a statement, the company said that the ongoing need for businesses to diversify supply chains and production locations could, over the medium to long term, create new opportunities for Lectra. It noted that less than 10% of its revenue currently stems from European or Chinese exports of equipment, consumables, and parts to the US market.
Lectra, which employs around 3,000 people worldwide, generated US $ 564.3 million in revenue in 2024, up 10% from the previous year, alongside a 15% rise in EBITDA to US $ 97.5 million.
The financial year 2025 marks the conclusion of the company’s 2023–2025 strategic roadmap. The next phase, focused on advancing Industry 4.0 solutions, will be detailed in the 2026–2028 strategic roadmap, scheduled for presentation on 12th February 2026. In light of the current economic climate, Lectra stated that it intends to concentrate on consolidating its core strengths and operational fundamentals.
