LEIFHEIT posted a €2.4 million loss in the first half of 2026 after a €1.0 million profit a year earlier. Revenue fell 5.8% to €116.3 million, weighed down by a difficult market environment and weak non-food consumer spending. For the full year the company expects a slight decline in revenue from €232.6 million and an operating result around zero. The shares fell temporarily to €13.15. » More on finanzen.net

Leifheit decides on the FOCUS performance program to sustainably improve profitability and efficiency, including up to 70 group-wide job cuts, a new organizational structure and digitalization. The program is expected to save about EUR 7.5 million annually from 2028; implementation will incur one-off costs of up to EUR 9.6 million, approximately EUR 5.4 million in 2026. Leifheit reports preliminary H1‑2026 revenue of EUR 116.3 million (H1‑2025: EUR 123.4 million) and an EBIT of EUR -2.7 million. Against the backdrop of declining markets, the executive board adjusts the 2026 forecast: group revenue expected to be slightly below last year, group EBIT now EUR 0 million (previously EUR 10.0 million); EBIT before special items is estimated at EUR 5.4 million and free cash flow at EUR 0 million. » More on de.investing.com
