Geberit Lifts Sales and Cash Flow Despite Construction Slowdown and One-Off Costs

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Geberit AG ( (CH:GEBN) ) just unveiled an update.

Geberit reported a resilient performance in a demanding financial year marked by weakness in the European construction sector, lifting net sales 2.5% to CHF 3.16 billion, or 4.8% in local currencies. Growth was driven by strong uptake of newly introduced products, broad-based market gains and continued investment in its innovation pipeline and major projects.

Operating profitability remained solid, with EBITDA up 2.0% to CHF 931 million and the margin only slightly lower at 29.4% due to a one-off plant-closure charge, while free cash flow rose 7.4% to CHF 659 million. Net income was stable at CHF 598 million, but would have increased to CHF 617 million without the one-off cost, and earnings per share benefited from an ongoing share buyback, underscoring Geberit’s ability to generate cash and maintain margins despite sector headwinds.

The most recent analyst rating on (CH:GEBN) stock is a Hold with a CHF635.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Geberit AG stock, see the CH:GEBN Stock Forecast page.
