Company announcement No. 07/2026
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER JÖRG BRINKMANN QUOTE
"The early months of 2026 were challenging, with prolonged winter weather impacting construction activity, customer demand and plant utilisation. Since March, however, we have seen a clear recovery in activity levels and improving momentum across the business. We continue to monitor geopolitical developments, particularly regarding energy markets. Our strong local sourcing position and hedging strategy limit negative exposure. Poland and the UK continue to perform according to expectations, while in Germany we continue to work on strengthening the business region by region. Looking ahead, we remain confident for the rest of the year, supported by our focus on operational improvements."
