Forbo Reports 2025 Half-Year Results with Stable Flooring Systems

Forbo Holding AG, based in Baar, Switzerland, announced its half-year financial results for 2025. The group reported net sales of CHF 546.9 million, a decline of 1.5% in local currencies. This decrease was attributed to economic headwinds, lower asset utilization, and inflation-driven cost increases.

Despite these challenges, the Flooring Systems division remained stable, supported by innovations and logistics improvements. However, Movement Systems underperformed, prompting strategic pricing and marketing adjustments, particularly in the food and logistics sectors. A new production line in Japan aims to bolster competitiveness.

Operating profit fell to CHF 42.9 million, a significant drop from CHF 61.8 million the previous year. The company retains a solid balance sheet, with a net cash position of CHF 34.2 million. Looking ahead, Forbo expects a slight sales decline but aims for profit improvement in the latter half of the year.
