- Nine-month revenue rose 3.6% in Swiss francs to CHF 2,535 million and increased 5.7% after currency adjustments.
- EBITDA reached CHF 778 million, while the 30.7% margin stayed close to the prior-year level despite higher material and energy costs.
- Management retained its 2026 targets for 5% to 6% currency-adjusted sales growth and an EBITDA margin around the previous year's level.
Geberit reported strong growth for the first nine months of 2026 while leaving its full-year targets unchanged. The Swiss sanitary-technology group presented the figures on Tuesday, November 3, according to the Geberit company announcement carried by Financial Times.
Net sales rose 3.6% in Swiss francs to CHF 2,535 million. Adjusted for currency effects, growth reached 5.7%, supported by higher volumes, selling-price increases and demand across the group's product areas. Currency losses therefore remained a significant drag on the reported result even as operating activity strengthened.
Margins Hold Despite Higher Costs
EBITDA increased 3.3% to CHF 778 million, producing a margin of 30.7%. Geberit said the first three quarters were marked by higher direct material and energy prices, sales price increases and substantial currency losses. The margin was also supported by the comparison with one-time costs in the prior-year period.
Earnings per share rose 8.1% to CHF 16.23 in Swiss francs and 9.6% after currency adjustments. The figures show that profit growth outpaced reported revenue growth, although investors remain focused on whether pricing can continue to offset input-cost inflation.
Guidance Stays Unchanged
Management continues to expect currency-adjusted sales growth of 5% to 6% for 2026 and an EBITDA margin around the prior-year level. The company also expects capital expenditure of about CHF 200 million for the year. The outlook assumes no material change in the current market environment.
Geberit said the fourth quarter would face tougher comparisons after strong growth in the prior-year period. Direct material and energy costs are expected to remain elevated, while pricing effects are expected to strengthen later in the year. That combination leaves fourth-quarter volume trends and margin execution as the next key tests for the shares.
