Geberit Achieves Solid Start to 2025 Despite Challenges

Geberit Group reported strong performance in Q1 2025, navigating a challenging environment effectively. Net sales rose by 4.9% to CHF 878 million, with a currency-adjusted increase of 5.3%. The company's operating cash flow reached CHF 277 million, marking an EBITDA margin of 31.5%. This margin shows a 130 basis points decline due to one-off costs from a plant closure.

Earnings per share decreased by 0.7% to CHF 5.69. However, excluding the exceptional costs, they would have seen a growth of 5.6%. The first quarter's performance highlights Geberit's resilience and ability to sustain high operating margins amidst external pressures.
