Delignit AG, a leading manufacturer of ecological hardwood-based products and system solutions, announced a 4.0% increase in turnover to EUR 18.1 million for the first three months of 2026, compared to EUR 17.4 million in the same period last year. The company maintained an EBITDA margin of 6.4%, nearly stable from the prior year's 6.7%, despite a persistently challenging market environment.
The automotive sector, particularly the light commercial vehicle segment, remained difficult at the start of the year. However, Delignit is pursuing revenue diversification through the expansion of its Technological Applications division, initiated in the previous year, and intensified international activities in Italy and Asia.
Subject to approval at the Annual General Meeting on June 18, the company intends to propose an increased dividend of 8 euro cents per share for the 2025 financial year, up from 5 euro cents the previous year.
For the full 2026 financial year, the Executive Board confirms its forecast of revenue around EUR 66 million with an EBITDA margin of 7 to 8%. This outlook is based on stable development in key target markets, though uncertainties remain.
Delignit develops and sells ecological materials and system solutions from renewable raw materials. It is the global market leader in load compartment protection and load securing systems for light commercial vehicles. The company also serves other sectors, such as rail vehicle groups, and its materials are used in luggage compartment floors, motorhome interiors, and special floors for production and logistics halls. Made from European hardwood, Delignit materials are CO2-neutral throughout their life cycle, supporting customers' environmental sustainability goals.
