Wienerberger Adjusts Full-Year Guidance Amid Challenging Market Conditions

Wienerberger AG reports persistently weak demand and increased inflation-driven costs in its latest trading update. The company faces challenging market conditions, particularly in the UK and North American regions. Residential new-build activity remains under pressure, overshadowing more stable renovation and infrastructure sectors.

Projected Q3 revenue is approximately €1.2-1.3 billion, with an operating EBITDA of €170-180 million. Full-year guidance for operating EBITDA has been adjusted to €640-650 million. Wienerberger is enhancing cost optimization measures to improve profitability and reduce leverage.

Interim CEO Gerhard Hanke acknowledges the difficult environment but expresses confidence in the company's long-term potential. Strategic reviews and initiatives are underway to strengthen resilience and competitiveness. The first nine months' results will be published on November 12, 2026, alongside updates on strategic measures.
