EQS-News: Delignit AG has made a positive start to the 2026 financial year and confirmed its guidance

Blomberg, 12 May 2026. Delignit AG (ISIN DE000A0MZ4B0), a leading manufacturer of ecological hardwood-based products and system solutions, increased its turnover by 4.0% to €18.1 million in the first three months of 2026 (previous year: €17.4 million) despite a market environment that remained challenging. At 6.4%, the EBITDA margin remained virtually stable at the previous year’s level (previous year: 6.7%).

In the automotive sector, a key target market for the Delignit Group, particularly in the light commercial vehicle segment, the environment remained challenging at the start of the 2026 financial year. With the expansion of the Technological Applications division initiated in the previous year and intensified international activities, including in Italy and Asia, the Delignit Group is consistently pursuing its strategic objective of revenue diversification.

Subject to the approval of the Annual General Meeting to be held on 18 June, the Company intends to propose an increased dividend of 8 euro cents per share for the 2025 financial year compared with the previous year (previous year: 5 euro cents).

For the 2026 financial year, the Executive Board confirms its forecast and continues to expect revenue of around €66 million with an EBITDA margin of 7 to 8%. This expectation is based on an overall stable development of the key target markets, even though the market environment remains characterised by uncertainties.
