PARIS: Racing Force Group (RFG.MI) reported a sharp acceleration in third-quarter 2025 revenue growth on Tuesday, driven by robust demand for its driver equipment and new helmet models, prompting the motorsport safety specialist to reaffirm its positive outlook.
The Italy-based company, which develops and markets safety components for motorsports, said consolidated revenues for the third quarter rose 19.9% to 15.9 million euros ($16.9 million), compared to 13.2 million euros in the same period last year. On a constant currency basis, the growth was 21.3%.
For the first nine months of the year, revenues reached 55.2 million euros, an increase of 8.6% from the previous year.
“The strong acceleration in sales during the third quarter is in line with our expectations and reflects the record level of order intake recorded since the beginning of the year,” Chief Financial Officer Roberto Ferroggiaro said in a statement.
The company cited its OMP-branded racing suits and Bell helmets, which meet the latest FIA safety standards, as the primary growth drivers. Sales in the Driver’s Equipment segment surged 21.9% in the third quarter.
This performance helped offset a 9.7% decline in Car Parts revenue over the nine-month period, which the group attributed to a temporary, months-long shift in delivery schedules for some major car manufacturers, though it noted all related programs have been recently confirmed.
Geographically, the EMEA region remained the group’s strongest market, with sales up 10.5% in the first nine months. The Americas saw a 7.0% increase, while the Asia Pacific region showed a strong rebound in the third quarter with sales up 29.5%, recovering from a softer first half.
Looking ahead, the company expects its diversification program to contribute to future growth, with the first deliveries of helmets for the Dutch police forces scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter.
Racing Force Group is listed on the Euronext Growth markets in Milan and Paris.
