Rheinmetall to sell civil business, takes 350 million euro impairment
Published by Global Banking and Finance Review
Posted on December 18, 2025
Dec 17 (Reuters) – German defense manufacturer Rheinmetall said on Wednesday it has initiated the sale of its civil business activities and will classify them as discontinued operations with immediate effect.
The company said the sale, which includes its Power Systems division, is part of a strategy to focus the group’s activities on its core military operations.
Rheinmetall added it will book a non-cash impairment charge of about 350 million euros ($411.08 million) due to discontinued operations.
The impairment loss has no impact on the liquidity or earnings of the group’s continuing operations, the company said in the statement.
Rheinmetall also updated its forecast for the full year. It expects sales growth of between 30% and 35%, up from its previous estimate of a 25% to 30% growth issued in November.
It now sees an operating margin of 18.5% to 19.0%, compared with 15.5% previously.
The sale is expected to be signed in the first quarter of 2026, after negotiations with two bidders.
In May, Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger said the company had been contacted by potential buyers of its civilian businesses and was in talks with them.
