Ströer reported stronger third-quarter revenue on Thursday, November 12, 2026, as digital advertising and Dialog offset pressure in classic outdoor advertising and DaaS & E-Commerce.

Digital formats lead the quarter
Digital Out of Home revenue grew 11.0 percent in the third quarter, while programmatic DOOH advanced 21.1 percent. Services increased 34.2 percent, but classic Out of Home declined 4.4 percent. The combined OoH Media segment nevertheless lifted revenue 3.6 percent to EUR 245 million.
The nine-month picture was stronger in the core outdoor business. OoH Media revenue rose 6.5 percent to EUR 737 million, with adjusted EBITDA up 5.7 percent to EUR 336 million. The figures underline the growing importance of digital inventory and automated campaign placement as the advertising market remains uneven.
Dialog offsets weaker businesses
Digital & Dialog Media delivered the strongest segment performance in the quarter. Revenue increased 15.7 percent to EUR 239 million, while adjusted EBITDA rose 19.1 percent to EUR 38 million. Dialog revenue climbed 30.4 percent to EUR 135 million, helping compensate for only slight growth in the Digital business.
DaaS & E-Commerce moved in the opposite direction. Revenue declined to EUR 74 million from EUR 85 million a year earlier, and adjusted EBITDA fell to EUR 6 million from EUR 10 million. Ströer attributed the pressure at Statista to the sale of its strategy and consulting unit and negative currency effects; subdued consumer demand weighed on Asam.
Outlook remains intact
Adjusted group EBITDA reached EUR 148 million in the third quarter, compared with EUR 147 million a year earlier. Adjusted consolidated net profit rose to EUR 35 million from EUR 34 million. After nine months, adjusted EBITDA increased 2 percent to EUR 421 million, while adjusted net income grew 5 percent to EUR 90 million.
Operating cash flow also improved, rising to EUR 258 million after nine months from EUR 243 million in the prior-year period. Chief Executive Udo Müller said Digital Out of Home remained the core growth driver, citing targeted network expansion and demand for programmatic campaigns. He also pointed to the strong Dialog business and said the company was confident about the fourth quarter.
Ströer expects business performance to remain positive in the final quarter and confirmed its full-year 2026 outlook. For investors, the key issue is whether digital momentum and Dialog can continue to offset traditional poster declines and weakness in the DaaS & E-Commerce portfolio.
