wienerberger Q1 2025: Strong results driven by innovation and resilience

• Year-on-year revenues up by 15% to € 1.1 billion
• Operating EBITDA improved by 13% to € 130 million
• Proven resilience: Robust results despite geopolitical and market
volatility
• Clear growth momentum: High demand in infrastructure and renovation;
double-digit growth in Eastern Europe

Vienna, May 20, 2025 – wienerberger has made a solid start to the 2025
financial year: Despite ongoing global macroeconomic challenges across
markets, the company achieved strong results in the first quarter of 2025.
With a diversified portfolio and strong local footprints, wienerberger
offset some weaknesses in residential construction by meeting rising
demand in renovation and infrastructure, especially in European key
markets. Thanks to this strategy, year-on-year-revenue rose by 15% to €
1.1 billion, while operating EBITDA increased by 13% to € 130 million.

In addition to operational strength, wienerberger also delivered strong
capital market signals: In Q1, the company repurchased more than 1.1
million shares, equivalent to around 2% of its share capital – underlining
its commitment to shareholder value, while maintaining a solid liquidity
reserve of € 1 billion.

Heimo Scheuch, CEO wienerberger, says: “The first quarter clearly
demonstrates that we are strongly positioned to deliver value even in
volatile environments. In the face of ongoing geopolitical tensions,
persistent trade disruptions, and elevated long-term interest rates
affecting housing markets worldwide, we again demonstrated the strength
and resilience of our diversified business model. We will continue this
successful path with full commitment by increasing our activities in
growth markets such as renovation and infrastructure and remain focused on
sustainable growth.”

wienerberger is well-positioned for further growth

wienerberger is experiencing strong demand for its infrastructure
solutions in water and energy supply, fueled by a growing need for
renovation across Europe. In Eastern Europe, clay block sales have already
seen double-digit growth due to increased new construction activity. This
momentum could be further strengthened by potential peace talks in
Ukraine, which may mark the beginning of reconstruction efforts in the
near future.

Since wienerberger’s business model is not directly affected by tariffs or
disruptions in global supply chains, the company is set to fully benefit
from expected market recoveries and decreasing long-term interest rates.
Thanks to strategic steps such as the integration of last year’s
acquisition Terreal – contributing € 11 million to operating EBITDA and
making wienerberger the first European pitched-roof expert – and the
launch of WIONIQ, a new platform for smart infrastructure solutions in
water and energy management, wienerberger is well-positioned for further
sustainable growth.
