- Revenue increased, but weaker residential demand and higher costs reduced operating EBITDA.
- Management is pursuing efficiency measures, portfolio changes and lower leverage.
- Renovation and infrastructure activity remained more resilient than new residential construction.
Wienerberger reported third-quarter results on Thursday, November 12, 2026, confirming its full-year outlook while profitability came under pressure. The company said in its Q3 results release that revenue rose 8% year over year to 1.3 billion euros, while operating EBITDA fell to 180 million euros from 202 million euros.
Price increases of close to 6% and contributions from acquisitions, primarily Italcer, supported sales. Weaker residential new-build demand, especially in the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada, together with higher energy, raw-material and logistics costs, weighed on earnings.
Guidance stays intact despite weaker margins
wienerberger reiterated its 2026 operating EBITDA guidance of 640 million to 650 million euros. Management said renovation and infrastructure activity remained steadier, but did not fully offset the weakness in new residential construction.
Wienerberger stock traded at 16.40 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 17:47 CET on Thursday, November 12, 2026. That compares with the 16.95-euro Wiener Boerse quote cited in the previous report, a decline of 3.24% between the two observations.
Cost program adds a new investor focus
The strategic review has largely identified performance measures intended to create recurring annual operating EBITDA improvement of 140 million euros in 2029, with benefits phased in from 2027. The initiatives include procurement, operating efficiency and selling, general and administrative cost improvements.
The group has paused mergers and acquisitions, limited capital expenditure and is reviewing its dividend policy while it works to reduce leverage. It targets year-end net debt of 2.2 billion euros, compared with 2.4 billion euros at September 30.
