- The company’s steel division, Steel Europe, faced a €90 million impairment and a 5% sales decline as it undergoes restructuring and job cuts totaling 11,000 positions.

- Thyssenkrupp anticipates returning to profitability for the full year with earnings expected to fall within a range of 100 to 500 million euros, while cautioning that the remainder of 2025 will remain affected by global economic challenges and ongoing pressures.
