French electrical equipment maker Schneider Electric confirmed its 2025 outlook after reporting second-quarter revenue growth, buoyed by continued strong demand for its data centre offering.

Revenues were up 8.3% organically to 10.01 billion euros ($11.43 billion). That compared with estimates of 9.99 billion and 7.5% organic growth in a company-compiled consensus. Revenues at its energy management business rose 10% organically.

The company confirmed its implied 2025 adjusted earnings before interest, taxes and amortisation (EBITA) margin of between around 18.7% and 19%, compared with an estimate of 18.8%.

The guidance included the impact of trade tariffs enacted or announced to-date, the company said.

Asked about the U.S. tariffs CFO Hilary Maxson told reporters the company now saw an additional cost in a range of “couple of hundred million plus/minus”.

It had estimated the impact at “several hundred million” in the first quarter, Maxson said, adding the company would look to hike prices to offset that.

“So, for us, we would say it’s not highly material, something that certainly we’ll look to take pricing actions on over the next quarters,” Maxson said.

The company makes 83% of its products sold in North America, which is its biggest market accounting for 38% of its second-quarter revenue, locally in the region, Maxson added.

The group, which has been benefiting from a shift toward electrification and heavy investment in data centres, said that the overall environment in data centre segment continued to be very strong, with sales growing double-digit in the quarter.

It added that it saw good traction for its cooling offers, including for liquid cooling at its recently acquired U.S. company Motivair.

Schneider noted that demand at its non-residential segment remains strong, but its “relatively smaller” residential buildings segment continued to see a decline in demand.
