Wienerberger AG Earnings Call Transcripts
Fiscal Year 2026

Q1 saw a 7% revenue decline and lower EBITDA due to severe weather, but volumes recovered in March and April. Full-year guidance is maintained, with cost inflation expected to rise and mitigation through price increases and cost discipline.
Fiscal Year 2025
-
2025 saw stable profitability and strong cash flow despite market declines and cost inflation, with profit after tax nearly doubling and net debt reduced. 2026 guidance targets EUR 810 million EBITDA, including Italcer, amid flat markets and a one-off EUR 30 million energy cost.

Cost inflation, especially in energy and labor, was managed through pricing discipline and efficiency programs.
