Geberit Reports Strong 2025 Financial Results

Geberit Group experienced a challenging 2025, yet managed to increase sales and volumes significantly in the European building sector. Despite adverse conditions, new products and market growth contributed positively. The operating margin slightly dipped due to costs from a plant closure, but investments in innovation continued unabated. This helped maintain Geberit's status as a leading sanitary products supplier. Net sales grew 2.5% to CHF 3,163 million, or 4.8% excluding currency effects.

Operating cashflow (EBITDA) reached CHF 931 million, a 2.0% increase, or 5.3% excluding currency adjustments. The EBITDA margin was slightly down from 29.6% to 29.4%. Net income held steady at CHF 598 million, marking an 18.9% return on sales. Excluding one-off costs, net income would have been CHF 617 million. Earnings per share rose 0.5% to CHF 18.15 due to share buybacks. Additionally, free cashflow increased by 7.4% to CHF 659 million.
