Wienerberger increased sales in the first half to €2.4 billion, but operating profit fell from €383 million to €256 million. The after‑tax result reported as exactly €0 is due to accounting rounding; the profit attributable to shareholders actually amounts to €361,517.36. 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. » More on 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. » More on de.investing.com
