Cinkarna Celje (SI0031103805) reported a 28 percent decline in first-half 2026 net profit to EUR 8.8 million, while revenue fell 6 percent to EUR 104.5 million. According to Cinkarna Celje on September 2, 2026, weaker titanium dioxide prices and higher strategic raw-material costs weighed on the first-half result.

Three results dates define the picture

On April 15, 2026, Cinkarna Celje's fiscal year 2025 figures showed revenue of EUR 198.8 million and net profit of EUR 19.47 million, down 0.74 percent and 15.67 percent respectively from the prior year, according to Delnicar. On May 20, 2026, the company published resolutions that included a gross dividend of EUR 1.80 per share, according to its investor information page.

The September 2, 2026 report is the latest of the three milestones. Revenue reached EUR 104.5 million in the first half, EBITDA fell 20 percent to EUR 18.2 million and net profit dropped 28 percent to EUR 8.8 million, according to Na borzi.

What does the profit decline mean?

The earnings mix points to pressure on both pricing and input costs. A 6 percent revenue decline combined with a 28 percent net-profit decline means profitability contracted faster than sales during the first half of 2026, making titanium dioxide pricing the key operating variable in the latest report.

For context, the first-half EBITDA decline of 20 percent was smaller than the net-profit decline of 28 percent. That gap indicates that the pressure reached the bottom line more sharply than operating earnings, although the reported figures do not establish a separate cause beyond the pricing and raw-material factors identified in the coverage.

November brings the next checkpoints

Cinkarna Celje's investor calendar lists November 11, 2026 for publication of the 2026 third-quarter report and the financial calendar for 2027. The company also lists a CEE Investment Opportunities event in Ljubljana for November 26, 2026, according to Cinkarna Celje.

Cinkarna Celje shares trade under ticker CICG on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange, and the company is included in the SBITOP index. The next report will show whether the first-half pressure on revenue, EBITDA and net profit continued into the third quarter.
