What happened?

Wienerberger reported Q126 earnings. Sales declined -7% YoY to EUR1,025m (-6% organic) while adjusted EBITDA

declined 25% YoY to EUR97m. FY26 guidance has been reiterated.

the volume pick up in March unable to offset some of that decline. Volumes appear weak across the board with the

particularly evident in North America where volumes declined -14% (-12% ceramics, -17% pipes), and Eastern Europe

where volumes declined -7% (-11% ceramics, 0% pipes).

Outlook and guidance: FY26 guidance has been reiterated – adjusted EBITDA to be EUR810 including Italcer
