AUSTRIA – Despite a persistently difficult global context marked by economic slowdown, weak construction demand, and geopolitical uncertainty, Egger posted solid results in the 2024/2025 financial year.

The Austrian wood-based materials manufacturer reported group-wide sales of EUR 4.13 billion and an EBITDA of EUR 541.3 million, up 9.7% year-on-year. The EBITDA margin improved to 13.1% from 11.9%, and the equity ratio remained strong at 42.8%.

Egger produced 10.8 million m³ of wood-based materials and timber, a slight increase from the previous year. While demand weakened in core Western and Central European markets, Eastern Europe and Asia showed positive momentum. The Decorative Products segment grew by 0.5% (EUR 3.65 billion), and Building Products remained stable (+0.1%).

Key investments include over EUR 200 million in expanding the Markt Bibart plant in Germany, nearing completion of its first phase. Egger continues to invest in sustainability, including new recycling facilities and renewable energy projects, with 71% of energy now sourced from renewables. The group aims for Net Zero by 2050.

Looking ahead, Egger is cautiously optimistic, focusing on maximizing capacity and enhancing delivery performance to offer best-in-class customer service. “We are ideally positioned for a market recovery,” stated Group Management, highlighting the commitment of nearly 12,000 employees worldwide.
