Geberit reported continued sales growth for the first nine months of 2026 on Tuesday, November 3, while leaving its full-year targets unchanged. The Swiss sanitary-technology group said volume growth and price increases offset currency losses and higher material and energy costs.

Sales growth remains broad-based

Net sales rose 3.6 percent in Swiss francs to CHF 2.535 billion, while currency-adjusted growth reached 5.7 percent. Third-quarter sales increased 5.3 percent to CHF 824 million, with all three product areas contributing to the quarter's performance.

The results release, republished by MarketScreener, said growth was driven primarily by higher volumes, with positive pricing also helping. Currency-adjusted sales increased across Europe, while demand remained mixed outside the region.

Margins hold under cost pressure

EBITDA rose 3.3 percent to CHF 778 million, producing a 30.7 percent margin. Net income increased 7.1 percent to CHF 529 million, and earnings per share advanced 8.1 percent to CHF 16.23. Free cash flow declined 2.8 percent to CHF 449 million as investment spending increased.

Management continues to expect currency-adjusted sales growth of 5 to 6 percent in 2026 and an EBITDA margin around the prior-year level. The company also expects a weaker comparison in the fourth quarter, while seasonal effects typically weigh on the margin late in the year.
