EQS-Ad-hoc: HORNBACH Holding AG & Co. KGaA / Key word(s): Quarter Results HORNBACH Holding AG & Co. KGaA: Reduced earnings in Q3 2025/26 – Guidance for adjusted EBIT at previous year’s level still valid |
Bornheim (Palatinate), Germany, December 5, 2025
Based on preliminary figures, HORNBACH Holding AG & Co. KGaA (ISIN DE0006083405) expects to report weaker sales growth and a year-on-year reduction in earnings in Q3 2025/26 (September 1,
2025 to November 30, 2025).
Net sales for this period grew by 2.2% to EUR 1,538.7 million (Q3 2024/25: EUR 1,505.1 million) and undercut the company’s expectations, meaning that higher costs could not be fully offset by sales growth. As a result, adjusted EBIT decreased by 21.0% to EUR 27.3 million (Q3 2024/25: EUR 34.6 million).
The original guidance dated May 21, 2025 continues to apply. For the 2025/26 financial year, the Group still expects net sales at or slightly above* the previous year’s figure (EUR 6,200 million) and adjusted EBIT at** the level reported for the 2024/25 financial year (EUR 269.5 million). From a current perspective, adjusted EBIT in the upper half of the projected range is not excluded but is no longer the most likely scenario.
Guidance nomenclature:
* Sales: “At previous year's level” = -2% to +2% | “Slight” = +/- 2% to +/-6% | “Significant” = changes of = > +/-6%.
** Adj. EBIT: “At previous year's level” = -5% to +5% | “Slight” = +/- 5% to +/-12% | “Significant" = > +/-12%.
The preliminary figures for Q3/9M 2025/26 are shown in the table:
| €m | Q3 2025/26 | Q3 2024/25 | Change in % | 9M 2025/26 | 9M 2024/25 | Change in % |
| Net sales | 1,538.7 | 1,505.1 | +2.2 | 5,137.8 | 4,950.8 | +3.8 |
| Adjusted EBIT | 27.3 | 34.6 | (21.0) | 299.5 | 300.0 | (0.2) |
