Rational AG Reports 8% Growth in Q1 2026

Rational AG announced an 8% increase in sales revenues for the first quarter of 2026, amounting to 318 million euros. This growth is attributed to strong performance in North America and Europe. The company's iVario product line saw an 18% rise in sales. Adjusted for exchange rates, the group's organic growth stands at 11%.

The positive momentum continued in Germany with an 11% increase, while North America and Europe experienced 11% and 8% boosts, respectively. Exceptional demand in the United States contributed to North America's growth, although impacted by adverse currency effects.

Despite challenges, EBIT rose to 76 million euros, representing a margin of 23.9%. The company confirmed its forecast for mid- to high-single-digit sales growth and an EBIT margin between 25% and 26%, citing potential pressures from tariffs and rising costs.
