Delignit AG (ISIN DE000A0MZ4B0), a leading manufacturer of ecological hardwood-based products and system solutions, reported a 4.0% increase in turnover to EUR 18.1 million for the first three months of 2026, compared to EUR 17.4 million in the same period last year. The company achieved this growth despite a persistently challenging market environment, with the EBITDA margin remaining nearly stable at 6.4% versus 6.7% in the prior year.
In the automotive sector, a key target market for the Delignit Group, particularly in the light commercial vehicle segment, conditions remained difficult at the start of the 2026 financial year. However, the company is actively pursuing revenue diversification through the expansion of its Technological Applications division, initiated last year, and intensified international activities in regions such as Italy and Asia.
Subject to approval at the Annual General Meeting on June 18, the company intends to propose an increased dividend of 8 euro cents per share for the 2025 financial year, up from 5 euro cents in the previous year. For the 2026 financial year, the Executive Board confirms its forecast of revenue around EUR 66 million with an EBITDA margin of 7 to 8%. This outlook is based on an overall stable development of key target markets, though uncertainties persist.
