Wienerberger Q3 2026 Results Align with Guidance Amid Strategic Review

In Q3 2026, Wienerberger's revenue increased by 8% to €1.3 billion compared to the previous year, primarily driven by strategic pricing and acquisitions, particularly Italcer. Despite this growth, operating EBITDA declined to €180 million from €202 million in Q3 2025, impacted by weakening demand and increasing costs in energy and logistics.

Residential construction demand remains sluggish, especially in the UK, US, and Canada, while renovation and infrastructure sectors performed steadily but didn't fully compensate for the decline. Cost inflation has been rising since late August, impacting overall results.

CEO Gerhard Hanke reaffirmed the full-year operating EBITDA guidance of €640–650 million, emphasizing the initiation of a strategic review aimed at long-term growth. With measures identified to improve EBITDA by €140 million annually by 2029, Wienerberger focuses on reducing leverage, optimizing operations, and reassessing its portfolio.
