The engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce Power Systems achieved record results in terms of sales, profit and return on sales in the financial year 2024.
Adjusted sales climbed by 11% to €5.05 billion, exceeding the €5 billion mark for the first time. At €662 million, adjusted operating profit was 40% higher than in the previous year. The return on sales improved to 13.1% (2023: 10.4%).
“These record figures are the result of our clear strategy with a focus on energy supply, government business, marine, battery storage and service. We have expanded our market share in MTU products and see further growth potential,” said Jörg Stratmann, CEO of Rolls-Royce Power Systems. With order intake amounting to €6 billion, the company is very confident for the current year 2025, he added.
Rolls-Royce will continue to invest
The MTU solutions for energy supply and for the government business recorded the highest order intake. The largest increase in sales was seen in the energy systems business, which rose by 25% overall, with emergency power systems for data centers even increasing by 46%. Continued demand for products for land and naval forces led to strong sales growth of 17% in the government business.
Rolls-Royce Power Systems has stated that it will continue to invest in the development of new products and the expansion of production capacities. This also includes the development of a new mtu engine platform, which will be ready for series production in the medium term. “With over 20% more power in the same installation space compared to a current model of the same size, we will set new standards in our industry,” says Stratmann.
