EGGER Group maintains stability in the face of volatile market conditions

The latest figures from EGGER show it is holding its own in a challenging market environment. While the group’s 2025/2026 financial year was marked by a weak construction market, cautious consumer spending and geopolitical uncertainty, it recorded revenue of €4.26billion and pre-tax profits of €541.8million. At the same time, the family business says it consistently invested in its future, including the €200m expansion of the Markt Bibart plant and the commissioning of the new power plant in St Johann in Tirol.

Thomas Leissing, CFO EGGER Group, said at the annual press conference at the company's HQ in St Johann: “The 2025/2026 financial year was shaped by widely differing market signals. After initial positive signs in some markets, hopes of overall economic stabilisation were significantly dampened by the geopolitical tensions of spring 2026. In an environment marked by uncertainty and a high degree of volatility, we were able to achieve stable performance. This is thanks to our reliable partnerships and the hard work and commitment of our approximately 12,000 employees worldwide. Our stability gives us the flexibility we need to consistently pursue long-term goals and strategic projects.”

In the 2025/2026 financial year, EGGER generated group-wide revenue of €4,264.7m (+3.4% compared to the previous year). Pre-tax profits amounted to €541.8m (+0.1% compared to the previous year) and the EBITDA margin was 12.7% (previous year: 13.1%). The equity ratio remains at a high level at 41.6%.

Despite challenging conditions, EGGER has continued with its long-term investment strategy. In the 2025/2026 financial year, the group invested a total of €450.1m (previous year: €435m). The focus was on the further development of its industrial base, upgrading capacity, automation, future-oriented energy supply and the circular economy. 

“Volatility has long since ceased to be just a short-term, exceptional phenomenon. Developments in the cost of wood and, in particular, the sharp increase in the cost of our chemical raw materials as a result of the Iran conflict show just how quickly conditions can change. This is why we are systematically strengthening the foundations of our business with high-performance production infrastructure, efficient processes, more wood from the circular economy and targeted investment in our plants,” said Hannes Mitterweissacher, chief technology officer EGGER Group.

In an important milestone, the new power plant at the company's HQ in Tirol generated electricity for the first time in May 2026 and will in future make a significant contribution to the plant’s supply of renewable energy, while also supplying the regional district heating network. Decarbonising the energy supply for the company’s own plants is a major part of its climate strategy, with the goal of reaching Net Zero by 2050.
