Rohde & Schwarz technology group closes fiscal year successfully in dynamic market environment Rohde & Schwarz has closed the 2023/2024 fiscal year successfully in a market environment that remains highly dynamic. The company again achieved year-on-year increases in both revenue and incoming orders. With its three divisions Test & Measurement, Technology Systems and Networks & Cybersecurity, the group addressed the current challenges. The extensive product portfolio supports customers in maintaining their technological and digital sovereignty.
Rohde & Schwarz Headquarter in Munich
The 2023/2024 fiscal year (July to June) was characterized by divergent and dynamic market developments. With its focus on connectivity and security, the technology group proved to be well positioned in relevant growth markets. Revenue increased by 5.3 percent to EUR 2.93 billion, while incoming orders exceeded expectations with a 22.77 percent increase to EUR 3.87 billion. The operating result was positive. Thanks to a healthy sales pipeline, Rohde & Schwarz has started the new fiscal year with optimism.
Major investments ensure that the group maintains its leading market position. It invests between 15 and 20 percent of its revenue in research and development every year, emphasizing its innovation leadership in the technology sector. The number of employees worldwide increased to over 14,400 as of June 30, 2024. Further investments in the groups own centers of competence and production plants ensure customer proximity, flexibility and reliable supply capability. Especially given the challenging economic and geopolitical situation, investments in the groups vertical integration ensure the necessary resilience against external influences.
Technical expertise in test and measurement for customers in diverse markets
In a challenging market environment, the test and measurement business was generally stable thanks to its diversified product portfolio. In the wireless communications segment, demand was down compared to the preceding years. However, research and development customers demonstrated their continued reliance on the groups test and measurement equipment to drive forward trending future technologies. These include the next mobile communications generations Beyond 5G and 6G, artificial intelligence and the integration of sensor technology and communications. Increased demand for test and measurement equipment for research into quantum technologies also had a positive impact on incoming orders.
Broad portfolio supports automotive customers in technology transition
As a leading global supplier of test and measurement equipment, Rohde & Schwarz provides well-engineered test and measurement solutions for the automotive industry and its technological transition. This includes radar sensors for environmental sensing, which play an important role in the ongoing development of driver assistance systems. Rohde & Schwarz test systems for radar sensors cover test and measurement requirements from development and production to functional testing during maintenance. Within the vehicle, connectivity ensures the smooth interaction of all devices and services. Although sluggish investment activity on the part of OEMs and their suppliers affected business over the past fiscal year, the group is well positioned for the future with its broad product portfolio.
Innovative solutions for future-proof critical infrastructures
Rohde & Schwarz is playing a key role in shaping the future of aviation safety. As air traffic recovers to pre-pandemic levels, investments in communications technology are also increasing. The group has benefitted substantially from this positive trend. In the past fiscal year, for example, Rohde & Schwarz successfully put three nationwide communications systems into operation in the USA, New Zealand and the UK.
In the security scanner segment, Rohde & Schwarz built considerably on its status as an innovation leader and demand increased in markets around the world. The group sees further market potential - especially in the European and North American markets, where its scanners are already well established.
Rohde & Schwarz successfully maintained its position in the broadcast & media segment. The group reinforced its leading position in the supply of equipment for transmitter networks with the market launch of highly energy-efficient TV transmitters. This also makes it possible to use such new technologies as Next Gen TV and 5G Broadcast today. Leading radio broadcasters worldwide rely on broadcast & media solutions from Rohde & Schwarz.
Aerospace & defense market demands advanced solutions
In the aerospace & defense market, demand was strong for test solutions for radar and satellite applications. For the increasing interlinking of the traditional satellite business with terrestrial mobile communications, Rohde & Schwarz offers a broad portfolio owing to its expertise in both areas. With strong demand in Europe and North America, incoming orders exceeded expectations.
Trust in Rohde & Schwarz as a reliable security partner drives growth
The Technology Systems Division closed the fiscal year with above-average growth. Against the backdrop of geopolitical tensions and armed conflicts, security is a major concern in politics and society. Another major factor behind the extraordinary performance of the division is the German procurement program Digitalization of Land Based Operations (D-LBO), in which the supply of the German armed forces with state-of-the-art radiocommunications plays a central role.
In the avionics field, Rohde & Schwarz has established itself as one of several industry partners of the European defense project Future Combat Air System. The group is participating in the project with its communications solutions and is a development partner of the AI based softw
