Wienerberger

Wienerberger revises its forecast for the current year to an operating result before depreciation of €640–650 million due to a weak construction cycle and a less pronounced seasonal effect. In July the forecast had already been lowered from over €800 million to around €700 million. For the third quarter the company expects revenue of about €1.2–1.3 billion and a result of roughly €170–180 million, missing market expectations. The share fell by about 2.6% after the announcement, and the price has almost halved since the start of the year. After the resignation of Heimo Scheuch, Gerhard Hanke is leading the company on an interim basis. » Mere på faz.net

Wienerberger increased sales in the first half to €2.4 billion, but operating profit fell from €383 million to €256 million.

Group CEO Heimo Scheuch resigned for health reasons, and Gerhard Hanke is interim CEO. Net debt rose 47% to €2.4 billion, a U.S. settlement for Pipelife hit results by €47 million, and management expects EBITDA of around €700 million. » Mere på kurier.at

Wienerberger reports a 13% revenue increase in Q2 to EUR 1.4bn (7% organic, 6% acquisitions), while operating EBITDA was weighed down by weak housing markets, higher input costs and low capacity utilization (Q2 operating EBITDA EUR 230m; H1 EUR 326m, organically −15%). Management raised prices by around 5% through the end of June and expects operating EBITDA of about EUR 700m for 2026, while net debt is forecast to rise to roughly 2.8x by year-end. Wienerberger stresses its strategic reorientation toward renovation and infrastructure (~60% of sales) and prioritizes cash‑flow management, working‑capital reduction and strict capex control. » Mere på de.investing.com
