• Kion outlined in Frankfurt am Main a dedicated Financial Services segment launching January 1, 2027, initially covering approximately 70% of leasing business.
• IFRS 18 will replace EBIT with operating profit; reporting changes leave underlying business economics and profit before tax unchanged.
• Pro forma FY2025 adjusted operating profit falls to EUR 766 million from EUR 789 million adjusted EBIT; margin declines to 6.7% from 7%.
• Reported leverage rises to 2.1 from 1.4 under revised definitions, reflecting debt allocation changes and exclusion of leasing earnings.
• Industrial free cash flow replaces group free cash flow as the cash-generation KPI; Financial Services introduces return on equity as its core measure.
