Springer Nature projects 2025 revenue in the range of €1.89 billion to €1.94 billion, fueled by reaching 50% of primary research articles published as open access and backed by €177 million invested in technology and AI, while net debt has been reduced to 2.5 times EBITDA (Reuters)
In the first half of 2025, underlying revenue climbed 6% to €926 million and adjusted operating profit jumped 10% to €241 million. This strong performance led to upgraded full-year guidance of €1.93–€1.96 billion in revenue and €540–€560 million in adjusted operating profit (Reuters)
CEO Frank Vrancken Peeters highlighted the achievement of publishing 50% of primary research output as open access and reaffirmed the goal of hitting 75% within the next three years, underlining Springer Nature’s leadership in the transition to open access (Reuters)
Despite efforts to cut debt, Springer Nature's net debt stands at 2.5 times EBITDA, which is above its target range of 1.5–2.0 and may constrain future strategic investments (Reuters)
Springer Nature’s move to open access—where publishing fees are paid by authors or their funders—creates exposure to risks from research funding cuts and increasing pressure to waive article processing charges, which could weigh on future revenue growth (Reuters)
Shares in Springer Nature are down roughly 25% year-to-date, showing that investor confidence remains weak, even as the company upgrades its guidance and improves operations (Reuters)
