   wienerberger delivered solid results in Q3 2025 despite market headwinds 

     • Q1-3: Group revenues in total of €3.5 billion (2024: €3.4 billion)
     • Q1-3: Operating EBITDA of €584 million (2024: €602 million)
     • Q1-3: Earnings per share rise to €1.56 (2024: €0.42)
     • Q1-3: Profit after tax increased to €173 million (2024: €49 million)
     • Q3: Group revenues of around €1.2 billion and operating EBITDA of
       €202 million broadly in line with the prior-year
     • Full-year operating EBITDA expected to be in line with the prior-year
     • Launch of “Fit for Growth” program to further strengthen efficiency

   Vienna, November 13, 2025 – In the first nine months of the year,
   wienerberger delivered a resilient performance in a persistently
   challenging market environment. The company recorded revenues of €3.5
   billion and operating EBITDA of €584 million, broadly in line with the
   prior-year period (€3.4 billion and €602 million respectively). While the
   roofing and piping solutions business grew year-on-year, a significantly
   weaker-than-expected market in the new residential housing segment in all
   geographies and inflationary cost pressure impacted the performance of the
   group. Third-quarter revenues at the group level reached €1.2 billion,
   with an operating EBITDA of €202 million, demonstrating resilience in the
   current market environment in line with the prior-year.

   Heimo Scheuch, CEO of wienerberger, comments on the group’s performance:
   “In the face of persistent macroeconomic headwinds and ongoing volatility
   in key construction markets, we have once again proven the resilience of
   our business model. Our clear focus on cost discipline, operational
   excellence, and value-added solutions, as well as our strategy to increase
   renovation and infrastructure exposure, enabled us to maintain stable
   results. While market conditions – particularly in new residential housing
   segment – remained subdued across Europe and North America, we continue to
   implement proactive measures to safeguard our performance and prepare for
   future growth. As we move toward the year-end, we remain committed to our
   strategic course, and we are confident in our ability to create long-term
   value for all stakeholders.”

   Challenging market environment in Q3 2025
   The third quarter of 2025 was marked by continued weakness in the European
   construction sector, particularly in new residential housing markets.
   While the roofing renovation segment remained broadly stable,
   infrastructure investments – especially publicly funded ones within the EU
   – softened over the summer due to fiscal tightening. Outside the EU,
   however, infrastructure spending remained solid.

   Outside Europe, the US and especially Canadian new residential housing
   segments were under pressure, with an overall market decline of >10%.
   Contrary to expectations, the UK market also saw renewed weakness in Q3,
   with housing starts falling by 9% year-on-year.

   Launch of “Fit for Growth” program to strengthen efficiency and
   competitiveness
   Considering a weaker market environment and sustained economic
   uncertainty, wienerberger is taking proactive steps to further enhance its
   efficiency and performance. With “Fit for Growth”, the company has
   launched a comprehensive operational excellence program aimed at reviewing
   and optimizing processes across all levels of the organization – from the
   holding to operations. The initiative is expected to deliver savings in
   the range of €15 - 20 million on an annual basis, strengthening the
   company’s competitiveness and ensuring continued value creation even in a
   challenging market environment.

   wienerberger strengthens European presence through strategic acquisitions
   During the first nine months of the year, wienerberger continued to expand
   its footprint across Europe through targeted acquisitions that underpin
   its long-term growth strategy.

   In Ireland and the UK, the acquisition of MFP, a specialist in drainage,
   roofline, and cable ducting systems, further reinforced wienerberger’s
   position in the pipe segment. Building on the earlier acquisitions of Cork
   Plastics and FloPlast, the company is well placed to capture additional
   growth in the region’s infrastructure market.

   In France, wienerberger increased its stake in GSE Integration (GSEi) to
   100%, strengthening its leadership in integrated roof and solar framing
   solutions and advancing growth in the European renovation market. With the
   Terreal integration progressing faster than expected, these acquisitions
   further enhance wienerberger’s strategic positioning in key European
   growth markets.

   Regional market developments
   Western Europe overall showed solid activity in roofing and renovation.
   The new residential housing market, with the exception of the Netherlands,
   remains at a lower level, although there are some positive signs of
   recovery with increased permits and housing starts, particularly in
   Germany and France.

   In  the  UK and Ireland, inflationary pressure and delayed rate cuts
   continued to weigh on the construction sector, especially in the UK. In
   contrast, Ireland remains stable, supported by continued public investment
   and the upcoming National Development Plan 2026-2030.

   In Eastern Europe, renovation volumes stabilized, while infrastructure was
   most affected by reduced public funding due to budgetary constraints. The
   new residential housing market remained subdued, with the exception of
   Hungary, where public funding programs boosted housing starts.

   The new residential construction activity in North America,  particularly
   in Canada, weakened further in Q3. Brick volumes declined sharply due to
   rising interest rates, a slowing labor market, and persistent
   macroeconomic headwinds.

   Outlook
   wienerberger will further intensify its performance enhancement measures
   to mitigate the effects of lower market activity and inflationary cost
   pressures, particularly those resulting from higher energy and labor
   costs. In this environment, price increases are expected to be challenging
   to implement. Consequently, wienerberger anticipates largely flat price
   development across its markets in 2025.

   The extreme market volatility observed over the past three months across
   all end markets – most notably in the new residential housing segment –
   has resulted in a revised outlook for the remainder of 2025. For the
   current year, wienerberger expects its full-year operating EBITDA to be in
   line with the prior-year level. The anticipated interest rate cuts and
   their positive effects on the new build market have not materialized as
   expected, while unfavorable foreign exchange developments added further
   pressure to the market environment. In addition, the substantially lower
   activity rates in new residential housing markets lead to lower
   contribution to group results.

   wienerberger reaffirms its long-term strategy focused on sustainable
   growth, circularity, and innovation across its value-added building
   solutions. The company continues to see strong mid-term potential,
   supported by its ongoing strategic transformation, focus on cost
   efficiency, and targeted acquisitions. This provides wienerberger with a
   solid foundation for sustainable growth. While the recovery in the new
   residential segment has been delayed, it remains intact. Demand is
   expected to stay strong across North America, Ireland, the United Kingdom,
   and Continental Europe – in new build, renovation, and infrastructure
   markets alike.

   Key drivers for a positive mid-term development include further interest
   rate cuts, increasing public and private investment activity, an easing of
   global trade and economic tensions, and, above all, a stabilization of the
   geopolitical environment, particularly with regard to the war in Ukraine.

   With its comprehensive portfolio of sustainable building materials and
   infrastructure solutions, wienerberger is well positioned to make an
   important contribution to the reconstruction of Ukraine. With production
   sites in neighboring countries, the company is prepared to meet demand for
   bricks, roof tiles, paving products, and plastic pipes. Thanks to
   sufficient available capacity, wienerberger can swiftly scale up
   production and ensure immediate deliveries.
