Lenzing Reports Positive Q1 2026 Net Result, Boosts Cash Flow

Lenzing AG recorded a net profit of EUR 24 million in Q1 2026, showing recovery after three negative quarters in 2025. The free cash flow surged to EUR 33.8 million from EUR 14.8 million the previous year, reflecting strategic cost management. Revenues dropped by 10.8% to EUR 615.7 million due to lower fiber and pulp sales.

The EBITDA totaled EUR 116.3 million, influenced by efficiency measures and one-time benefits, such as the profitable sale of surplus EU emission allowances. Challenges persist with volatile energy prices and geopolitical tensions impacting market conditions.

Lenzing continues its performance program to enhance its financial resilience and operational profitability, aligning with its strategic focus on high-margin segments and sustainable cost savings. Despite global economic uncertainties and a lowered IMF growth forecast, Lenzing remains committed to transforming its business model.
