- Third-quarter revenue rose 8 percent to 1.3 billion euros, while operating EBITDA declined to 180 million euros.
- Wienerberger retained its 2026 operating EBITDA outlook of 640 million to 650 million euros.
- CEO Gerhard Hanke is leading a strategic review focused on savings, portfolio priorities and lower leverage.
Wienerberger retained its full-year operating EBITDA outlook on Thursday, November 12, after third-quarter revenue increased but profitability weakened. The figures were released by finanzen.at from an EQS corporate announcement.
Revenue grows as margins tighten
Wienerberger generated third-quarter revenue of 1.3 billion euros, up 8 percent from 1.2 billion euros a year earlier. Pricing contributed close to 6 percent, while acquisitions, primarily Italcer, added to sales.
Operating EBITDA fell to 180 million euros from 202 million euros in the comparable quarter. The company cited weak residential demand and higher energy, raw material and logistics costs. Renovation and infrastructure activities were more resilient but did not fully offset weaker new residential construction.
Company keeps full-year outlook
Management maintained its 2026 operating EBITDA guidance at 640 million to 650 million euros. Wienerberger is targeting net debt of 2.2 billion euros at the end of 2026, compared with 2.4 billion euros on September 30.
The strategic review has identified measures intended to generate 140 million euros of recurring annual operating EBITDA improvement in 2029, with benefits phased in from 2027. The company said implementation will begin immediately, while mergers and acquisitions are paused, capital expenditure is being limited and dividend policy is under review.
New CEO sets strategic priorities
On Wednesday, November 11, the supervisory board appointed Gerhard Hanke CEO with immediate effect. The company said Hanke had served as interim CEO since August and had previously held CFO and COO responsibilities.
