Villeroy & Boch Posts Satisfactory Q1 Results Amid Challenges

Amid structural changes and geopolitical tensions, Villeroy & Boch Group reported satisfactory results for Q1 2026. The group generated €318.7 million in revenue, a 13.7% decrease from €369.1 million the previous year. The decline stems from divesting northern European operations and unfavorable currency impacts, with an adjusted revenue drop of 8.3%.

The group's order book grew by €47.3 million, reaching €197.7 million, while operating EBIT was €17.2 million. Despite challenges, the Dining & Lifestyle division remained stable, with notable growth in e-commerce, particularly in Germany.

Conversely, the Bathroom & Wellness division faced a 16.1% revenue decline, attributed to geopolitical factors and economic slowdowns. The company maintains its full-year forecast but anticipates operating EBIT at the lower end of the €75-85 million range.
