Annual Report as of 31 December 2022



Rheinmetall is on track for success: all-time earnings high, record order backlog

Fiscal year 2022

  • Consolidated sales grow by 13% to €6,410 million
  • Operating result (EBIT before special items) increases by 27% to a new record figure of €754 million
  • Group’s operating margin increases to 11.8%, after 10.5% in the previous year
  • Another all-time high in the Rheinmetall order backlog of €26.6 billion
  • Proposed dividend increases to €4.30 per share, after €3.30 in the previous year

Outlook for 2023: Strong sales growth with stable high margins

  • Rheinmetall forecasts sales and earnings growth to continue in fiscal 2023
  • Consolidated sales currently expected to grow to between €7.4 billion and €7.6 billion
  • Group’s operating margin expected to be approximately 12%

The Rheinmetall Group continued on its profitable growth trajectory and closed fiscal 2022 with record figures once again. A new high was reached in the operating result (EBIT before special items). The technology group’s order backlog also set a new record, driven by high-volume major orders from military customers, the fact that international automotive manufacturers are awarding more contracts again, and the growing business in industries outside of the automotive sector as a result of the successful transformation.

Armin Papperger, Chief Executive Officer of Rheinmetall AG, comments: “Rheinmetall is taking responsibility in a changing world. In terms of business, we remain on a very good trajectory. Our evolution into an integrated technology group continues to pay off: We have generated a record result of €754 million. We are very proud of this achievement, which is based on growth and profitability in our five divisions. We have also set ourselves ambitious targets for sustainable, profitable growth in the future. This applies not only to our security business, but also to our civilian activities. The share of sales attributable to alternative drive technologies continues to grow, and we are well on track to handle the transformation away from the combustion engine. We will leverage new growth potential, such as in industrial applications or hydrogen.”
