Bechtle shows international growth in third quarter.

Bechtle AG’s business development remained under pressure in the third quarter against an ongoing tough economic backdrop. Regionally, the picture varies with the Bechtle Group’s most important markets—Germany and France—continuing to be dominated by uncertainty and a reluctance to invest, particularly in the B2B segment.

In other European countries, however, Bechtle enjoyed considerable organic growth. Overall, business volume was slightly below the previous year at -1.1 per cent, but revenue went up 2.2 per cent to €1,511.3 m. At €78.6 m, earnings before taxes (EBT) were significantly below the previous year’s €93.9 m. The EBT margin also declined from a very good 6.3 per cent to 5.2 per cent. On 30 September 2024, Bechtle employed 15,608 staff, which is 768 people more year-on-year.
