Business environment in 2026
Persistently high level of macroeconomic and global political uncertainty
Automotive
Solid project pipeline, but timing of contract awards difficult to predict
No dependence from current production volumes
Industrial Automation
Good prospects in medtech and consumer goods
Subdued demand from the automotive sector
Woodworking
No signals yet for a real furniture market recovery
Good prospects in the timber house business

Guidance 2026
The forecast is subject to uncertainty due to international conflicts
Actual 2025 | Targets 2026 | |
Incoming orders in € m | 3,894.8 | 3,800 - 4,200 |
Sales revenues in € m | 4,168.4 | 3,900 - 4,300 |
EBIT margin before extraordinary effects in % | 5.6 | 5.0 - 6.5 |
ROCE in % | 15.6 | 13 - 18 |
Free cash flow in € m | 161.8 | -150 - 0 |
The forecast provides that international conflicts, especially the war in the Middle East, will not further escalate and have only limited impact on the world economy.
Supporting factors for further margin improvements
− Earnings resilience and further potential in Woodworking
− Operating improvements expected in Industrial Automation
− Cost cutting: admin streamlining, LIB restructuring, lower OneDürrGroup expenses
− Please note: €10 m one-off expenses at Woodworking (ERP transition, factory ramp-up Poland)
