Half-year results show EGGER Group holds its own in a difficult environment

The EGGER Group closed the first half of the 2025/2026 financial year with consolidated revenues of EUR 2.15billion (+2.6% compared to the same period of the previous year). The ongoing weakness in consumer spending, weak construction activity in the core markets and global uncertainties characterised the general conditions. Thanks to its solid financial basis and consistent implementation of its long-term strategy, the family company says it was able to secure stability and continue to make far-reaching investments in its own plants.

CFO Thomas Leissing said: "Of course we would like to see a more dynamic development. However, given the duration and intensity of the economically challenging phase in which we have found ourselves for some time now, we are satisfied. For us, stability in no way means stagnation; on the contrary, we use it as a basis for targeted investments in the future, sustainability and innovation. We would like to thank our highly committed 12,000 employees worldwide, whose dedication and competence have made a significant contribution to this stable result."

In the first half of 2025/2026, the EGGER Group generated revenues of EUR 2,148.1million (+2.6% compared to the first half of 2024/2025) and pre-tax profits of EUR 293.3 million (-8.4% compared to the same period of the previous year). The markets in Eastern Europe and overseas developed positively, while efficiency and innovative strength were required in Western and Central Europe in order to counter the strong competition within weak markets.

The area of decorative products for furniture and interior design achieved unconsolidated revenues of EUR 1,907.8 million (+2.6% compared to the same period of the previous year). The slight increase in revenues was spread evenly across all regions and resulted primarily from slight volume and price increases. The product area for wood construction and flooring generated unconsolidated sales of EUR 365.1million (+4.0% compared to the same period of the previous year). Although this represents a slight increase in sales, demand in the flooring segment in particular is weak and the lack of new construction activity could only be partially offset by renovations.

EGGER says it is continuing to pursue its long-term investment strategy for capacity expansion and sustainability projects at its plants. In addition, the new EGGER Decorative Collection 26+ will be launched in February 2026. With more than 360 decor and texture combinations as well as decor, product and surface innovations and digital services, this update of the successful retail collection responds flexibly to current market trends and customer needs.

The company says the overall economic outlook remains challenging, even though the low point of the downturn appears to have passed. Looking ahead, it is convinced that it is in an ideal starting position for a future economic upturn.
