The HENSOLDT Group (“HENSOLDT”) once again successfully performed in a dynamic environment in the past financial year, meeting or exceeding guidance (see press release of 27.02.2025). The company thus continued its profitable growth trajectory and consolidated its position as one of the leading companies in the European defence electronics market. The recently published 2024 Annual Report provides an overview of this positive development and highlights the key success factors.
In its annual report, HENSOLDT also reviews the past year, places it in the context of the current geopolitical environment and looks ahead to future developments – for the company itself and beyond. The war in Ukraine, for example, is still not over, while crises in the Middle East and the growing threat to the West from China, among other things, need to be added. Consequently, modern, flexible, and adaptable deterrent capabilities that are operational at all times are essential. Demand for advanced electronic defence and security solutions such as those offered by HENSOLDT will therefore remain high.
In order to meet new challenges for the defence industry, HENSOLDT is continuing to pursue its “North Star” corporate strategy, which has already picked up significant momentum in the 2024 financial year. Major progress has been made in the provision of products and system solutions in significantly larger quantities while maintaining excellent quality. “North Star” will be the key to further sustainable growth for the company.
Oliver Dörre, CEO of HENSOLDT, says: “Our 2024 Annual Report shows that we can look back on an extremely positive financial year. We have met our ambitious targets and even exceeded them in key areas. Our outstanding products and solutions are the basis for this positive development. Looking ahead, it is clear that information, command and control as well as effect superiority of the armed forces will become even more important. This is where the concept of Software Defined Defence comes in – modular software solutions that can be quickly adapted and data-centric architectures that exploit the full potential of our sensors. We are excellently positioned in this area and will continue to develop HENSOLDT in this direction.”
