08/25/2026 Arbonia holds its own in a challenging environment with 2.3 % organic growth – with considerably higher incoming orders and order volumes than in the previous year
Arbon 25 August 2026 – In the first half-year of 2026, Arbonia achieved an organic revenue growth of 2.3 % and continued to expand its market position in numerous European markets. Incoming orders and order volumes developed particularly well and were significantly above the previous year's level at all large production plants. At the same time, the market environment was characterised by increasing material prices, as well as currency effects. This performance underscores the resilience of demand, the successful progress of the Group’s geographical diversification efforts, and its strategic strength following the strategic focus on the doors business.
With the introduction of an integrated system landscape, Arbonia is creating the prerequisites for additional group synergies in purchasing, in cross-location manufacturing, as well as for the future use of data-based and AI-supported applications. The implementation of the SAP/ERP system at the German subsidiary Garant marks an important milestone on the way to an integrated European platform. The transformation was operationally more demanding than planned and had a one-off negative impact of approximately CHF 8.4 million on EBITDA compared to the prior-year period.
Against this background, Arbonia is adjusting its EBITDA guidance for the financial year 2026 but reaffirms all other guidance parameters for 2026 as well as its medium-term targets for 2029.
Financial figures for continuing operations for the First Half of 2026:
- Revenue: CHF 318.2 million (+3.6 %, organic +2.3 %), compared to CHF 307.2 million in the previous year
- EBITDA with one-time effects: CHF 23.8 million (previous year CHF 27.9 million)
- EBITDA without one-time effects1: CHF 23.8 million, 7.5 % margin (previous year CHF 26.1 million, 8.5 % margin)
- EBIT with one-time effects: CHF –4.5 million (previous year CHF 1.1 million)
- EBIT without one-time effects: CHF –4.5 million (previous year CHF –0.7 million)

10/16/2025 Arbonia acquires Portuguese market leader for doors Cicomol SA and German metal door frame manufacturer Rüthener Zargenbau GmbH (RZB)
Arbon, 16 October 2025 – Arbonia is further expanding its leading position in the European market with the acquisition of Portuguese manufacturer Cicomol SA.

08/26/2025 Arbonia half-year results for 2025 Arbonia succeeds in expanding margins in a challenging first half-year 2025 and confirms guidance for the full year 2025
Arbonia commenced financial year 2025 on a strong footing. Despite challenging market conditions, the company maintained its market position in the first half of the year thanks to a very successful first quarter, robust order intake and operational improvements.
Notably, Arbonia expects its operating performance to continue improving despite a challenging market environment: in the first half of 2025, it was able to increase its operating result by 27% compared to the second half of 2024.
Although one-off effects such as the power outage at Dimoldura in Spain, increased marketing costs relating to Arbonia's first in-house congress, ArboniaNext, and structural adjustments in connection with the sale of the Climate division negatively impacted the overall result, the Wood Solutions business reported a double-digit EBITDA margin. The Glass Solutions business encountered significant challenges stemming from market conditions and its product portfolio, and as a result, recorded below-average margins.
The aforementioned cost factors will cease to apply in the second half of 2025. Combined with revenue growth, increased earnings from newly won projects, the full impact of recent price increases and a higher number of working days, this is expected to lead to a significantly stronger second half of 2025. In particular, the project business and the cost-saving measures implemented give reason for optimism for the remainder of the year.
- Revenue: CHF 307.2 million and CHF 267.8 million in the previous year (organic -1.5%)
- EBITDA including one-time effects: CHF 27.9 million and CHF 47.4 million in the previous year
- Positive one-time effects¹: previous years sale of Zelgstrasse Arbon (CH) and at midyear 2025 sale of property Tubbergen (NL)
- EBITDA without one-time effects: CHF 26.1 million and CHF 21.1 million in the previous year
- EBITDA-margin without one-time effects: 8.5% compared with 7.9% in the previous year
- EBIT including one-time effects: CHF 1.1 million and CHF 25.2 million in the previous year
- EBIT without one-time effects: CHF -0.7 million and CHF -1.0 million in the previous year
- Group result: CHF 152.6 million (previous year CHF 41.0 million)
- Confirmation of 2025 guidance: sales growth 3–5% (basis CHF 604 million pro-forma 2024) and adjusted EBITDA ~CHF 60 million

03/03/2025 Annual results 2024 Increase in EBITDA margin despite difficult market in Germany
Arbon, 3 March 2025 – In Arbonia's largest European markets, the construction industry was not yet able to recover noticeably in 2024. Instead, uncertainty persisted and the second half of 2024 in particular was weaker than expected in Germany, an important market for Arbonia: Building permits continued to decline and financing costs remained at a high level for a long time, with consumers only feeling the effects of the ECB's cuts after a delay. In some markets, the general conditions such as interest, energy and material costs have improved somewhat, but this has not yet led to a noticeable recovery in most markets.
Nevertheless, Arbonia is cautiously optimistic about the 2025 financial year.
The closing of the sale of the Climate division took place on 26 February 2025. The following presentation of the annual figures therefore focuses on the continuing operations, i.e. on the former Doors division, thus the new Arbonia.
- Revenue growth of 10.2% to CHF 556.3 million (previous year CHF 504.6 million)
- Currency and acquisition-adjusted revenue growth of -5.4% (previous year -8.2%)
- EBITDA including one-time effects: +107.8% from CHF 31.9 million to CHF 66.3 million
- EBITDA margin including one-time effects: from 6.3% to 11.9%
- The one-time effects¹ amounted to a total of CHF 24.6 million net, primarily from the sale of the Zelgstrasse site (CH)
- EBITDA without one-time effects: +22.1% from CHF 34.1 million to CHF 41.7 million
- EBITDA margin without one-time effects: from 6.8% to 7.5%
- Guidance 2025: revenue growth of 3 - 5% and an adj. EBITDA of approx. CHF 60 million.
- Proposal by the Board of Directors for a distribution of CHF 5.83 per share at the Annual General Meeting in April 2025

08/22/2023 Arbonia First semester results 2023 - EBITDA margin at previous year's level despite difficult environment
- Revenue decline of 9.6% (organic 8.1%) to CHF 570.4 million from CHF 630.9 million in the previous year
- EBITDA: CHF 44.9 million from CHF 52.4 million in the previous year
- EBITDA margin: 7.9% (previous year: 8.3%)
- EBIT: CHF 6.2 million from CHF 17.8 million in the previous year
- Group result after taxes: CHF –2.0 million from CHF 11.7 million in the previous year
- Significant positive free cash flow expected for 2023
- Confirmation of mid-term targets for 2026 due to great demand for housing as well as energy upgrading of existing housing to reduce required CO2 emission
Arbon, 22 August 2023 – Arbonia’s core markets, especially Germany, Benelux, and Eastern Europe, suffered a considerable slump in building permits due to the high construction costs and interest rate hikes. At Arbonia Group, this decrease in construction activity led to sharply lower volumes for the products steel panel radiators, standard doors and shower enclosures. This is against the backdrop of a historically high demand for housing and the necessary energetic conversion of existing building stock to achieve the required reduction in CO2 emissions.
The first half of 2023 was characterised by great challenges, which not only affected the general economy but the building sector in particular and thus Arbonia. The first half of 2023, for example, was impacted by a pronounced reluctance in the ordering behaviour of wholesalers and the specialist retailers, who continued to reduce inventories or did not fill them up again with large orders but placed smaller shorter-term orders instead. New construction was burdened by the reluctance of builders, who started fewer construction projects or postponed them due to an uncertain regulatory environment and significantly increasing construction and financing costs at the same time. In renovation, increasing rents due to increasing interest rates and higher ancillary rental costs (energy) had a noticeable negative impact. This caused people to remain in their current homes for fear of further increasing rental costs and due to the low number of vacant flats, which led to fewer renovations being done. In addition, housing companies delayed planned renovations. On the other hand, the demand for affordable housing as well as the necessity of upgrading the energy efficiency of existing building stock remains high. This had a positive effect on Arbonia’s growth products but could not fully compensate for the negative volume effects from the general reluctance in the construction sector.
Arbonia’s revenue decreased by 9.6% in the first half of 2023 compared to the same period in the previous year, from CHF 630.9 million to CHF 570.4 million. Adjusted for currency and acquisition effects (organic), revenue decreased by 8.1%. EBITDA came to CHF 44.9 million (previous year: CHF 52.4 million), which means a reduction of 14.4%. The EBITDA margin decreased from 8.3% to 7.9%. Without one-time effects, EBITDA decreased by 13.6%, from CHF 52.4 million to CHF 45.3 million, which corresponds to a decrease in the EBITDA margin from 8.3% to 7.9%. EBIT came to CHF 6.2 million (previous year: CHF 17.8 million), which corresponds to a decline of 65.2%. Without one-time effects, a decrease of 63.0% resulted, from CHF 17.8 million in the previous year to CHF 6.6 million. The group result amounted to CHF –2.0 million compared to CHF 11.7 million in the previous year or without one-time effects to CHF –1.7 million (previous year: CHF 11.7 million). The negative net profit at the half year is the result of the lower operating profit, higher depreciation and amortisation as well as the higher financial result due to higher interest expenses and foreign exchange losses.
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to CHF 12.0 million in the reporting period (CHF –68.6 million in the previous year). This resulted in a free cash flow of CHF –27.8 million (CHF –142.9 million in the previous year). As of 30 June 2023, net debt amounted to CHF 241.4 million.
Shareholders' equity decreased to CHF 967.9 million (previous year CHF 1016.1 million). Consequently, the equity ratio also decreased from 66.1% in the previous year to a still solid 61.6%.
07/20/2023 Trading update – Slump in building permits due to construction cost increases and interest rate hikes
Arbon, 20 July 2023
- Decline in construction activity in Arbonia’s core markets led to sharply lower volumes for radiators, interior doors, and shower enclosures
- Suspension of guidance due to unpredictability of volumes in the second half of 2023
- The volume decreases in the first half of 2023, in conjunction with negative currency effects (-3.6%), led to an overall decrease in revenue of -10% compared to the same period last year to approximately CHF 570 million (HVAC: CHF 303 million; Doors: CHF 266 million)
- HVAC Division on EBITDA level above previous year with increased margin from 8.0% to 9.4%
- Doors Division on EBITDA level below previous year with decreased margin from 10.7% to 8.0% – in particular a one-time additional burden of energy costs had a negative impact here
- Significant positive free cash flow expected for 2023
- Closure of production plant and staff reductions of up to 600 employees until June 2024 will lead to a one-time charge of up to CHF 15 million in the 2023 financial year and consequently to annual net savings of CHF 10 – 12 million
- Confirmation of mid-term targets for 2026 due to great demand for housing as well as energy upgrading of existing housing to reduce required CO2 emissions
07/20/2023 Arbonia further improves competitiveness by consolidating design radiator production
Arbon, 20 July 2023 – The Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Division of Arbonia is further improving its competitiveness with the planned relocation of its design radiator manufacturing volume. As part of its strategy of being a best-in-class radiator supplier, the planned relocation of manufacturing and painting from Dilsen (BE) to the competence centre in Stříbro (CZ) will increase capacity utilisation and productivity as well as further centralise know-how. Arbonia expects one-off costs of around CHF 10 million to be incurred in the second half of 2023 due to the closure and relocation of production. In return, Arbonia expects annual savings of around CHF 4 million from the second half of 2024.
04/21/2023 General Meeting of Arbonia AG approves all motions
02/28/2023 Arbonia annual results 2022 and outlook 2023
Arbon, 28 February 2023 – The reporting year of Arbonia was characterised by considerable upheavals in both divisions, which increased significantly in the course of the year:
The 1st half of 2022 was still characterised by stable sales volumes and benefited from the previous year’s high order volumes, among other things. This was despite the fact that a considerable pressure on the margins was already noticeable at that time due to the inflation trend that had set in for all raw materials and energy. The price increases implemented with customers in the 2nd half of 2022 caused margins to improve significantly. As a result, it was possible to reduce the material ratio from 51.4% to 49.4%.
However, during the 2nd half of 2022, particularly in the 4th quarter, there was a proper slump in orders from wholesalers for stock items such as radiators and standard doors. Economic uncertainties led to significant destocking and a change in ordering behaviour among customers towards short-term ordering. The energy crisis, which persisted throughout the financial year, also burdened the 2nd half of the reporting year with an additional CHF 5.1 million compared to the previous year.
Furthermore, the geopolitical situation resulting from the war in Ukraine impacted the operating activities of both divisions due to the lost volumes and revenues in the affected markets in Eastern Europe.
Arbonia was able to increase revenues in the financial year 2022 by 1.3% to CHF 1'202.1 million; growth was 5.5% without the influence of currency and acquisition effects (organic). EBITDA without one-time effects1 fell from CHF 134.3 million to CHF 112.4 million; with one-time effects, EBITDA reached 108.3 million compared to CHF 124.7 million in the previous year. This corresponds to a reduction in the EBITDA margin (without one-time effects) from 11.3% in the previous year to 9.4%; with one-time effects, the EBITDA margin fell from 10.5% to 9.0%. As a result, EBIT without one-time effects also fell from CHF 67.0 million to CHF 41.4 million; with one-time effects, EBIT fell from CHF 53.3 million to CHF 37.0 million. This corresponds to a decrease in the EBIT margin without one-time effects from 5.6% to 3.4%; with one-time effects, the EBIT margin fell from 4.5% to 3.1%. The Group result with one-time effects (from continuing operations) fell as a result from CHF 27.5 million in the previous year to CHF 20.7 million. Without one-time effects, the Group result fell from CHF 41.1 million to CHF 23.9 million.

01/12/2023 Arbonia with challenging second half-year of 2022
Arbon, 12 January 2023 – The financial year 2022 was challenging due to increased material and logistics costs, material shortages, a dramatic rise in energy costs, increased interest rates, and the Swiss franc significantly appreciating. In general, this situation did not ease in the second half-year of 2022 due to factors such as energy costs continuing to rise.
The situation was made worse by a rapid destocking among all major customers in the fourth quarter of 2022. This significant and unexpected volume reduction, particularly affecting radiators, shower enclosures, and to some extent doors, resulted in the margin being negatively affected as a contrast to the strong performance that is normally seen in the construction industry during the second half-year. However, the growth businesses strategically built up in recent years (for heat pumps, ventilation units, underfloor heating and energy storage) performed in a positive manner, demonstrating high double digit volume growth in.
Despite achieving organic growth of slightly above 5% resulting in revenues of around CHF 1.2 billion, the EBITDA margin without one-time effects will be around 9.5%.*
08/23/2022 Arbonia with a challenging first half-year of 2022
Half-year results 2022 (reported)
- Revenue growth of 7.2% (organic 9.8%) to CHF 630.9 million
- Strong increase in materials ratio from 45.0% to 51.4%
- EBITDA: CHF 52.4 million after CHF 67.6 million in the previous year
- EBIT: CHF 17.8 million after CHF 34.9 million in the previous year
- Group result after tax: CHF 11.7 million after CHF 23.6 million in the previous year
- Increase in net working capital (NWC) of around CHF 118 million (previous year CHF 33 million)
- Arbonia expects a significantly stronger second half-year of 2022 compared to the first half-year of 2022 and also the second half-year of 2021.
Arbon, 23 August 2022 – Arbonia looks back at a challenging first half-year of 2022. The COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine led to considerable increases in raw material prices, sharply rising energy prices, as well as problems with supply chains, which all affected Arbonia as well. In the face of this political crisis and the associated change in thinking, Arbonia's strategy with modern products (heat pump, ventilation, underfloor heating, battery storage, etc.) for energy-efficient and self-sufficient buildings has proven to be all the more correct. In addition to their well-known economic advantages, these products accelerate the transition to buildings that are independent of fossil energy sources and electricity prices. The investments decided on and implemented in the past are also paying off by countering wage inflation and increased material prices with increases in productivity.
In the first half-year of 2022, Arbonia was able to increase its net revenue in Swiss francs by 7.2% compared to the same period in the previous year, from CHF 588.6 million to CHF 630.9 million. Growth when adjusted for currency and acquisition effects was 9.8%. During the same period, EBITDA decreased from CHF 67.6 million to CHF 52.4 million due to the massive increase in the materials ratio from 45.0% to 51.4% (material price increases of around CHF 68 million). Consequently, the EBITDA margin also decreased from 11.5% in the previous year to 8.3%. A negative effect on the absolute EBITDA resulted from the strength of the Swiss franc, among other factors, which appreciated by a high single-digit percentage against almost all currencies relevant to Arbonia, causing results achieved in foreign countries to be lower than budgeted when converted into Swiss francs. EBIT reached CHF 17.8 million (CHF 34.9 million in the previous year). The group result (after taxes) amounted to CHF 11.7 million and is below the previous year's value of CHF 23.6 million.
In the reporting period, the cash flow from operating activities amounted to CHF –68.6 million (CHF 51.6 million in the previous year). In addition to the low EBITDA contribution, this was above all due to the sharp rise in the NWC, which increased by around CHF 118 million in the first half-year. After the deduction of investments (capex) and including the premature buyback of the Corporate Center, a free cash flow of CHF –142.9 million resulted. As of 30 June 2022, net debt amounted to CHF 68.4 million. No one-time effects occurred in the first half-year of 2022.
The shareholders' equity increased to CHF 1016.1 million (previous year CHF 927.6 million). Consequently, the equity ratio also increased from 55.8% in the previous year to a very solid 66.1%.
03/01/2022 Arbonia with very positive annual results again for 2021
- Revenue growth of 11.6% when adjusted for currency and acquisition effects
- EBITDA without one-time effects: +17.4% from CHF 114.5 million to CHF 134.3 million1

- Group result from continuing operations without one-time effects: +46.2% from CHF 28.1 million to CHF 41.1 million1

- Increase in the equity ratio to 64.3% (previous year: 59.0%), shareholders' equity >1 billion.
- Proposal of a dividend payment of CHF 0.30 (+20%) for the 2021 financial year
Arbon, 1 March 2022 – A revenue growth of 11.6% when adjusted for currency and acquisition effects, or an increase of 14.2% in Swiss francs from CHF 1038.4 million to CHF 1186.2 million, resulted for the financial year 2021. Without one-time effects, Arbonia increased its EBITDA by 17.4% from CHF 114.5 million to CHF 134.3 million and thereby succeeded in increasing their EBITDA margin to 11.3% in a demanding environment. Arbonia increased EBIT without one-time effects by 28.6% from CHF 52.1 million to CHF 67.0 million. Arbonia was able to increase its Group result from continuing operations without one-time effects by 46.2% to CHF 41.1 million (previous year: CHF 28.1 million).
1One-time effects

Arbon, 24 August 2021 – Arbonia can look back on a very successful first half-year of 2021. This was driven by the continued good building construction activity due to still favourable conditions resulting from low interest rates, a housing shortage, and European-wide subsidy programmes for energy-efficient new construction and renovation. Arbonia additionally benefits from its further strengthened competitive position as a European building components supplier. The investments made in recent years in automation, digitisation, and vertical integration created the conditions for gaining market shares in Central European sales markets and for further increasing profitability, even during the COVID-19 pandemic and the following upturn.
The following key figures relate to the continuing operations (HVAC, Sanitary Equipment and Doors): Revenue increased compared to the previous year from CHF 492.5 million (CHF 529.1 million in the first half-year of 2019) to CHF 588.6 million, corresponding to a growth in Swiss francs of 19.5% (11.2% compared to the first half-year of 2019) and organic growth of 16.5% (14.5% compared to the first half-year of 2019). EBITDA increased to CHF 67.6 million compared to CHF 45.3 million in the previous year (+49.0%) and compared to CHF 44.6 million in the first half-year of 2019 (+51.5%). This corresponds to an EBITDA margin of 11.5% (9.2% in the previous year and 8.4% in the first half-year of 2019). EBIT increased by 134.7% from CHF 14.9 million in the previous year (and from CHF 15.6 million in the first half-year of 2019) to CHF 34.9 million in the first half-year of 2021. This represents an EBIT margin of 5.9% in the first half-year of 2021 (3.0% in the previous year and 2.9% in the first half-year of 2019). The group result after tax amounted to CHF 23.6 million compared to CHF 5.9 million in the same period last year (+299.7%).
Cash flow from operating activities including the discontinued windows operations increased by 145.8% from CHF 21.0 million in the previous year to CHF 51.6 million and free cash flow from CHF -14.4 million to CHF 6.7 million.
