Villeroy & Boch Maintains Forecast Amid Market Challenges
Villeroy & Boch AG announced its half-year results, navigating a complex geopolitical landscape. The company managed €635.8 million in revenue for the first half of 2026, reflecting a 12.4% decrease from the previous year, primarily due to divestments and geopolitical tensions. Despite challenges, the order book rose to €199.9 million, and the company reaffirmed its full-year forecast.
The Bathroom & Wellness Division saw a 15.1% revenue decline, influenced by restructuring and weaker construction activity. However, selected markets like Italy and Hungary showed growth. Meanwhile, the Dining & Lifestyle Division maintained stable revenues (€130.0 million) with e-commerce growing by 16.1%.
Looking ahead, Villeroy & Boch anticipates ongoing volatility but remains committed to its €75 million EBIT forecast for 2026. The company continues cautious planning to mitigate potential impacts from geopolitical tensions.
