Semperit AG Holding raises earnings forecast for full year 2026

Vienna, 12 October 2026, 13:43 CET – As part of the preparation of Semperit AG Holding’s interim report for Q1–3 2026, it is becoming apparent that EBITDA for Q3 2026 will exceed expectations. Against this backdrop, the Semperit Executive Board decided today to raise its forecast for operating EBITDA (excluding project costs of approximately EUR 5 million) for the full year 2026 to approximately EUR 115 million (previous forecast: approximately EUR 100 million). At the same time, visibility for the final weeks of the financial year remains limited due to the continued short-term ordering behavior of many customers.

EBITDA (reported) for Q3 2026 is currently expected to be approximately EUR 27 million (Q3 2025: EUR 21.3 million), while EBITDA (reported) for Q1–Q3 2026 will be approximately EUR 94 million (Q1–Q3 2025: EUR 52.0 million).

The planned sale of non-core assets and liabilities resp. the resulting classification as “held for sale” will result in a one-time, non-cash impairment loss of an estimated EUR 8 million in the third quarter of 2026, which will weigh on EBIT. 

The results for the first three quarters of 2026 will be published on November 12, 2026.
