## Summary

KION Group's revenue for the first nine months of fiscal year 2026 rose 3.9% to €8.522 billion, while adjusted EBIT increased 9.9% to €632.5 million, driven mainly by the smart automation solutions business, whose revenue grew 16.9% to €2.519 billion and whose adjusted EBIT jumped 36.6% to €172.2 million. Order intake for the industrial trucks and services business fell short of expectations, bringing total group order intake down to €8.445 billion, and the company therefore lowered its fiscal year 2026 outlook.
