Wienerberger AG ( (WBRBF) ) has released its Q4 earnings. Here is a breakdown of the information Wienerberger AG presented to its investors.
Wienerberger AG, a leading provider of building materials and infrastructure solutions, operates primarily in the construction sector, offering innovative products for sustainable building and infrastructure. In its latest earnings report, Wienerberger AG reported a 7% increase in revenues to €4,512.7 million, despite facing a challenging market environment. However, the company’s profitability metrics showed declines, with operating EBITDA down by 6% to €760 million and profit after tax dropping significantly by 76% to €79.8 million. The company attributed these declines to increased financing costs and restructuring expenses. Despite these challenges, Wienerberger AG achieved a robust free cash flow of €416.9 million, a 62% increase from the previous year, driven by disciplined cost management and operational efficiency. The company also made significant investments in strategic acquisitions and sustainability initiatives, including the integration of Terreal and the opening of a CO₂-neutral brick plant in Austria. Looking ahead, Wienerberger AG remains focused on expanding its operating EBITDA margin and achieving sustainable growth through innovation and strategic investments, with a target of generating €800 million in operating EBITDA in 2025.
