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. » Mais em 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. » Mais em de.investing.com

Leifheit posted a loss of €2.3 million in the first quarter, after a profit of €2.0 million in the year-earlier quarter. Revenue fell to €61.2 million, roughly four percent below the prior year. Higher logistics costs and increased advertising spending weighed on results, while the company is experiencing pronounced consumer restraint. The management board is sticking to its 2026 forecast and expects slight revenue growth and an operating result in line with the previous year, but sees significant uncertainties, for example due to the situation in the Middle East. » Mais em stern.de
