Rational AG Reports Strong Performance in First Half of 2025

Rational AG has reported a successful first half of 2025, with sales revenues reaching 311 million euros in Q2 and 606 million euros for the six-month period. Growth was particularly strong in North America and Europe, with revenues up 11% and 9%, respectively. The EBIT margin stood at 26.1% in Q2, slightly below last year's numbers, yet reflecting stable procurement costs and improved productivity.

Sales in various regions showed mixed results, with Asia experiencing a 16% decline. Nevertheless, the market potential remains substantial, driven by strong demand for Rational’s products, especially in North America. The company has expanded its workforce to nearly 2,800 employees to support growth in sales and product development.

Rational has confirmed a mid-single-digit growth outlook for 2025, though EBIT margin expectations are tempered by US import tariffs and exchange rate challenges. Despite these hurdles, the company maintains optimism, citing high customer satisfaction and market presence.
