Airbus Announces Financial Results for the First Nine Months of 2025
Airbus SE has released its consolidated financial results for the first nine months of 2025, showing a 7% increase in revenue.
Financial Performance Overview
According to the press release issued by Airbus SE, the company recorded consolidated revenues of 47.4 billion euros for the first nine months of 2025, marking a 7% increase compared to the same period last year. The adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to 4.1 billion euros, up from 2.8 billion euros in 2024. The consolidated net income reached 2.6 billion euros, a 46% increase from the previous year. The free cash flow, before customer financing, stood at -914 million euros, reflecting an accumulation of inventory to support fourth-quarter deliveries.
2025 Outlook and Strategic Developments
Airbus maintains its forecasts for 2025, now incorporating the impact of current tariffs. The company aims to deliver about 820 commercial aircraft and achieve an adjusted EBIT of approximately 7.0 billion euros for the year. Positive discussions are ongoing regarding the A400M program, including an agreement with OCCAR to advance seven deliveries to France and Spain. Additionally, Airbus, Leonardo, and Thales have signed a memorandum of understanding to merge their space activities, potentially leading to the creation of a new European enterprise by 2027.
Operational Environment and Order Book
According to Airbus's press release, the financial results for the first nine months reflect a complex and dynamic operational environment, exacerbated by current trade tariffs. Airbus's order book includes 8,665 commercial aircraft as of the end of September 2025. The company anticipates that its A320 Family program will reach a production rate of 75 aircraft per month by 2027. Airbus is also continuing to expand its capacity to support this ramp-up, while making adjustments to the A220 and A330 to align production with current demand.
