Wienerberger continues to grow in 2025

The Austrian multinational closed 2025 with revenues rising to €4.6 billion and operating EBITDA of €754 million.

In the financial year 2025, wienerberger once again demonstrated the strength of its business model in a challenging macroeconomic environment. Despite a sharp decline in new residential construction across most European and North American markets, the Group increased revenues year-on-year to €4.6 billion (+1% respect to €4.5 billion in 2024) and achieved its earnings outlook with an operating EBITDA of €754 million (-1% on €760 million in 2024) and a margin of 16.5%.

Earnings after tax doubled to €168 million (2024: €84 million), while earnings per share increased significantly from €0.72 in 2024 to €1.52 in 2025. The free cash flow reached the second-highest level in the company’s history at €474 million compared to €417 million in the previous year.

For 2026, wienerberger expects continued geopolitical instability and ongoing macroeconomic volatility, with no structural recovery in new residential construction and no broad market rebound anticipated. Against this backdrop, and excluding the impact of the acquisition of Italcer, the Group guides for a slight improvement in operating EBITDA to around €760 million in FY26. This result is affected by the increase in energy costs which, according to the Group’s forecasts, will have an impact of around €30 million. Assuming the consolidation of Italcer for eight months from closing, the projected operating EBITDA in 2026 would increase by €50 million, reaching €810 million.

With its more than 200 production sites in Europe and USA (General Shale), and 20,000 employees worldwide, wienerberger is the world’s largest producer of bricks and the market leader in clay roof tiles in Europe as well as concrete pavers in Eastern Europe. In pipe systems (ceramic and plastic pipes), the company is one of the leading suppliers in Europe and a leading supplier of facade products in North America.
