Delignit AG Reports 4% Revenue Growth in Q1 2026, Confirms Full-Year Guidance
Delignit AG increased turnover by 4% to EUR 18.1 million in Q1 2026 despite a challenging market, confirming its full-year revenue target of around EUR 66 million and EBITDA margin of 7-8%.
Delignit AG (ISIN DE000A0MZ4B0), a leading manufacturer of ecological hardwood-based products and system solutions, has reported a 4.0% increase in turnover to EUR 18.1 million for the first three months of 2026, compared with EUR 17.4 million in the prior-year period, despite a challenging market environment. The EBITDA margin remained virtually stable at 6.4%, slightly down from 6.7% in the previous year.
The automotive sector, a key target market for the Delignit Group—particularly the light commercial vehicle segment—continued to face headwinds at the start of the 2026 financial year. However, the company is actively pursuing revenue diversification through the expansion of its Technological Applications division, initiated in the previous year, and intensified international activities, including in Italy and Asia.
Looking ahead, the Executive Board has confirmed its full-year forecast for the 2026 financial year, expecting revenue of around EUR 66 million with an EBITDA margin of 7 to 8%. This outlook is based on an overall stable development of key target markets, although the market environment remains characterized by uncertainties.
In addition, subject to approval at the Annual General Meeting scheduled for 18 June, the Company intends to propose an increased dividend of 8 euro cents per share for the 2025 financial year, up from 5 euro cents in the previous year.
