Nordex continued its revival with a sharp increase in second quarter profits and an upbeat outlook for the rest of the year.

The German wind turbine maker – which like other European OEMs is recovering from a run of loss-making quarters through 2023 and ’24 – saw Q2 earnings spike 64% to €108.2m ($126.8m) before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation, higher than a consensus of analysts’ forecasts.

Nordex barely scraped a net profit in the same quarter last year but this time the figure was €31m.

The company had already revealed its orders almost doubled to 2.3GW in the quarter led by demand in its home German market and helped by its strong position in Turkey.

CEO Jose Luis Blanco said: “I am confident for the remainder of the year. So far, our order intake momentum remains strong, reflecting consistent customer demand and confirming our solid competitive position in our markets.”

Blanco confirmed Nordex’s previous guidance for the full year.

The average selling price of its turbines remained broadly level at €0.97m/MW in the quarter.

Sales in the projects segment that covers wind turbines came around €1.7bn in the second quarter while the service business registered €207m.

While sales so far this year have been dominated by Europe, Nordex is making a significant move in the US market, bucking the trend of gloom over the wind market's prospects there by reopening a plant in Iowa that has been shuttered since 2013.
