Revenue model

1. Engineering Services (Automotive & Industrial): Project-based engineering and development services for automotive OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, and industrial companies covering the full product lifecycle from concept to production validation. Revenue declined 13% to EUR 714m in FY 2025 due to challenging automotive market conditions, delayed project awards, and reduced call-offs from major OEMs.
2. Accredited Testing and Validation Services: Testing services across 17 categories at six accredited laboratory locations, accessible via the EDAG Mobility and Industry Shop e-commerce platform. Includes NVH, EMC, emissions, battery cell testing, ADAS, and environmental simulation.
3. Industrial Metaverse and Digital Transformation Consulting: Consulting and implementation services around the metys Industrial Metaverse platform, AI Factory approach, and digital twin deployments targeting defense and mechanical engineering sectors, representing an emerging revenue stream.
