Semperit AG Holding: Operating earnings in Q2 2026 significantly above the prior-year figure; full-year earnings forecast raised

Vienna, 14 July 2026, 10:58 CET – In the process of preparing Semperit AG Holding’s half-year financial report, it has become apparent that EBITDA for Q2 2026 will be significantly higher than in the same quarter of the previous year and in the first quarter 2026.

EBITDA (reported) for Q2 2026 is currently expected to be around EUR 40 million (Q2 2025: EUR 19.6 million, Q1 2026: EUR 26.8 million), while EBITDA for the first half of 2026 is expected to be around EUR 67 million (first half of 2025: EUR 30.7 million). In view of business performance to date, the earnings forecast for the full year has been raised. Operating EBITDA (excluding project costs of approximately EUR 5 million) is now expected to be approximately EUR 100 million (previous guidance: approximately EUR 95 million). However, significant uncertainties remain in connection with the war in the Middle East, particularly with regard to potential negative impacts on the costs of raw materials, global economic trends and demand in the relevant sales markets. 

The results for the first half of 2026 will be released on August 13, 2026.
