Manitou has reported quarter one 2026 sales revenues of €648 million, which is up 8% year on year and 10.2% on a like-for-like basis. The revenue increase is said to be driven by European markets and rentals customers.

Order intake for the first quarter reached €631m v €574m during the first quarter of 2025, an overall increase of 9.9% year on year. This took the groups Q1 order book on equipment to €1.21m v €1.16m in quarter one 2025.

The groups expectation is that 2026 fiscal year revenue will be up by around 5% compared to 2025 while it also expects a recurring operating profit of around 5% of revenues. The outlook reflects higher customs duties, unfavourable trends in raw material prices and exchange rate fluctuations.

“The group achieved a very good first quarter with revenues of 648 million euros, up 8.0% and 10.2% on a like-for-like basis. The excellent momentum observed is driven by our European markets, particularly with rental companies,” said Michel Denis, president and CEO.
