Delignit AG reports significant revenue growth in the first nine months of 2026 and confirms its guidance

Blomberg, November 12, 2026. Delignit AG (ISIN DE000A0MZ4B0), a leading manufacturer of ecological, hardwood-based products and system solutions, continued its growth trajectory in the first nine months of 2026 amid a market environment that remained challenging. Consolidated revenue rose by 13.7% to €54.4 million, compared with €47.8 million in the same period of the previous year. In the third quarter of 2026 alone, consolidated revenue increased by 18.0% to €16.6 million (previous year: €14.1 million).

The “Technological Applications” target market remained the key growth driver for the fiscal year. Revenue increased by 89.0% to €11.2 million (previous year: €5.9 million). In addition to growth in the core business, Delignit Technologies Italia S.r.l., which focuses on rail and marine, contributed to this growth. In the Automotive target market, revenue rose by 3.1% to €43.2 million (previous year: €41.9 million).

Cumulative EBITDA for the first nine months was €3.0 million, on par with the prior year, indicating stable performance. The EBITDA margin relative to total revenue was 5.4%, compared to 6.3% in the prior year. In the third quarter, EBITDA amounted to €0.4 million (previous year: €0.9 million). Scheduled summer shutdowns at major OEM customers, as well as the planned installation of a new veneer production machine, temporarily impacted profitability in the third quarter. In addition to the impact of noticeable increases in material costs due to higher procurement prices, relative EBITDA profitability was diluted, as expected, by the additional inorganic revenue contributions during the ramp-up year of Delignit Technologies Italia S.r.l.

The significant revenue growth in the first nine months provides a solid foundation for further business development. Even with an EBITDA margin slightly lower than in the prior year, the Executive Board therefore believes it is on track to achieve the revenue and profitability targets for the full year. However, given the volatility, particularly in the commercial vehicle industry markets, it remains cautious in its revenue planning. The Executive Board thus confirms the forecast for fiscal year 2026 and continues to expect consolidated revenue of €68 million with an EBITDA margin of 7% to 8%.
