Giesecke+Devrient (G+D) recorded a turnover of 3.2 billion euros in its fiscal year 2025, which implies a growth of 1% compared to the turnover of the previous year. For its part, the German multinational obtained a record order intake of 3.6 billion euros during the year, with a growth of 8%, reinforcing its positioning in the field of SecurityTech.
This growth, the company points out, demonstrates the strength of the market demand for reliable SecurityTech solutions and the company’s prominent position in its three business segments: Digital Security, Financial Platforms and Monetary Technology.
For its part, adjusted EBIT reached a new high of 211 million euros, with a year-on-year increase of 13%. Additionally, the company achieved free cash flow of €119 million, providing additional headroom for future investments in innovation and development within the SecurityTech sector.
Together, these indicators reflect G+D’s strong operational performance and profitability and reaffirm its position as a global leader in SecurityTech for critical infrastructure. The company plays a key role in the expansion of this type of infrastructure and has solid growth prospects in a market where SecurityTech is essential for technological and social stability.
Investments in key technologies
G+D is making targeted investments in the next generation of SecurityTech technologies, including post-quantum cryptography, cybersecurity, AI-powered security architectures and highly secure identity solutions. Additionally, the company has expanded its global development base and accelerated the transfer of innovative AI technologies into market-ready products with a new artificial intelligence hub in Canada, strengthening its SecurityTech ecosystem.
In 2025, G+D has also expanded its portfolio in high-growth areas and reinforced its long-term transformation strategy with two merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions, aligned with its vision of leadership in SecurityTech. With the purchase of Xtec Inc., an American company specialized in digital identity and access management, G+D strategically reinforces its positioning in SecurityTech solutions for the United States public sector.
The second operation involves the integration of the digital business of Payments & Banking Services of the German Bank-Verlag, an infrastructure that processes one in four card and online payments in Germany. The effects of these operations will be fully reflected in the 2026 financial statements and contribute to the evolution of G+D as an integral partner in SecurityTech for the digitalization of the financial industry.
Large global projects
During the past year, the company has consolidated its leadership in SecurityTech through its participation in large international projects. For example, G+D is the highest ranked contractor in the European Central Bank (ECB) framework agreement for offline payments of the future digital euro and plays an active role in the development of digital currencies in Europe, a key area within the SecurityTech ecosystem.
Additionally, and in collaboration with AWS, G+D is setting new standards for the secure deployment of eSIM connectivity globally, demonstrating the importance of SecurityTech solutions in critical digital infrastructures. At the same time, agreements with new clients in the automotive sector confirm the growing relevance of secure digital ecosystems, driven by SecurityTech, in the field of mobility.
In 2025, G+D has also expanded its portfolio in high-growth areas and reinforced its long-term transformation strategy
According to G+D Group CEO Ralf Wintergerst, “SecurityTech forms the indispensable foundation of modern societies, and G+D sets global standards in this area.” Record order intake and profitability, as well as pioneering projects with customers in critical areas, highlight the company’s current performance and future relevance in the SecurityTech market.
“G+D invests with determination, transforms with a clear vision and brings innovations such as post-quantum cryptography and artificial intelligence to real applications quickly, reliably and safely,” adds Wintergerst, who believes that it is precisely this combination of technology and strategy that consolidates the company as a reliable partner in the field of SecurityTech for governments, companies and citizens in an increasingly digitalized world.
