Key Figures 2023

The financial year was characterized by an inflationary market environment and strained supply chains. At the same time, investments were made in the expansion of production and the digital future of the space business. ...

Due to substantial company divestments in 2023 and 2022 (including RUAG Ammotec), the key figures can only be compared to a limited extent. However, they reflect the continuous progress of the divestment strategy adopted jointly with the owner, the Swiss Confederation. The number of employees fell accordingly from 2,963 to 1,989 worldwide. Net sales, 96% of which came from civil activities, fell to CHF 620 million (previous year CHF 945 million) and EBIT to CHF 28 million (CHF 178 million). Adjusted for divestment and foreign currency effects, sales increased by CHF 62 million compared to the previous year.
