Daimler Truck announced that adjusted earnings and revenue declined in the fourth quarter, impacted by weaker performance in key markets, despite an increase in order intake.
The German truck and bus manufacturer reported on Thursday that its adjusted earnings before interest and taxes fell 29% year over year to €780 million (US$902.3 million), while revenue dropped 11% to €12 billion.
Revenue in the North America truck unit decreased by 29%, while the Mercedes-Benz truck division saw a 1% decline in sales.
The group's truck and bus sales for 2025 totaled 422,510 units, down 8% compared to the previous year.
However, order intake rose 13% in the fourth quarter, driven by improvements in the Mercedes-Benz truck segment and a recovery in the North American market.
The company proposed maintaining its dividend at €1.90 per share.
For 2026, industrial business revenue is projected to be in the range of €42 billion to €46 billion (compared to €45.91 billion in 2025), with adjusted EBIT expected between €3.2 billion and €3.7 billion (last year: €3.78 billion).
