By Nina Kienle

Schneider Electric posted record full-year revenue and free cash flow, and said Chief Financial Officer Hilary Maxson would step down.

The French energy-management and automation group on Thursday said Maxson would step down on April 5, with current head of Investor Relations, Nathan Fast, taking on the role.

Schneider Electric's revenue for 2025 rose 8.9% on an organic basis to 40.15 billion euros, beating forecasts of 39.96 billion euros, according to consensus estimates provided by the company.

Net profit fell to 4.16 billion euros ($4.91 billion) from 4.27 billion euros the prior year. This missed analysts' forecasts of 4.35 billion euros, according to the same consensus.

Revenue for the energy-management business rose 10% organically to 33.13 billion euros. The figure beat analysts' estimated 33.03 billion euros, according to the same consensus.

Free cash flow rose 10% on a reported basis to 4.22 billion euros.

The company will propose a progressive dividend of 4.20 euros a share, up 8% on year, Schneider Electric said.

For 2026, the company targets adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, and amortization organic growth between 10% and 15%, driven by 7% to 10% organic revenue growth and an improvement in its organic adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, and amortization margin of between 0.5 and 0.8 percentage points, it said.
