HORNBACH Group Sees Continued Growth Despite Market Challenges

HORNBACH Holding AG & Co. KGaA reported a 3.8% increase in net sales for the 2025/26 financial year, reaching EUR 6,433.9 million. This growth aligns with the company's guidance, driven by a 4.0% sales increase at HORNBACH Baumarkt, which accounts for 95% of group sales. Expansion efforts, including the opening of four new stores, bolstered market presence in Europe.

Despite increased costs, the group's adjusted EBIT remained nearly stable at EUR 264.7 million. However, the fourth quarter saw a decline in adjusted EBIT to EUR -34.8 million, reflecting economic uncertainties.

CEO Albrecht Hornbach emphasized the importance of a robust business model in volatile markets. HORNBACH plans to expand further, targeting Serbia, while enhancing its product offerings to maintain market leadership.
