   wienerberger delivers Q3 results in line with guidance and advances
   strategic review

     • Q3 2026 revenue +8% to €1.3 billion (Q3 2025: €1.2 billion), driven by
       pricing and acquisitions
     • Q3 2026 operating EBITDA €180 million (Q3 2025: €202 million)
     • FY2026 operating EBITDA guidance of €640–650 million reiterated
     • Net debt targeted at €2.2 billion by year-end 2026 (September 30,
       2026: €2.4 billion)
     • Strategic review ongoing: measures identified to deliver €140 million
       of recurring annual operating EBITDA uplift in 2029, phased benefits
       from 2027

   Vienna, November 12, 2026 — In the third quarter of 2026, wienerberger
   generated revenues of €1.3 billion (Q3 2025: €1.2 billion), an increase of
   around 8% year-on-year, supported by targeted price increases of close to
   6%, and contributions from acquisitions, primarily from Italcer. Operating
   EBITDA amounted to €180 million (Q3 2025: €202 million), reflecting weaker
   demand and higher energy, raw material and logistics costs.

   Residential new-build demand remained weak, particularly in the UK, the
   United States and Canada. Renovation and infrastructure activities
   developed more steadily but could not fully offset the decline in new
   residential construction. The seasonal recovery after the summer was
   weaker than expected, while cost inflation accelerated from late August.

   wienerberger reiterates its full-year 2026 operating EBITDA guidance of
   €640–650 million, as communicated on October 6, 2026.

   Gerhard Hanke, CEO wienerberger: “While we have met the targets we set on
   October 6, our financial results reflect a market that is under
   significant pressure, with weak residential demand and rising costs
   continuing to weigh on profitability. Our renovation and infrastructure
   businesses remain resilient throughout the year, although their solid
   performance cannot fully offset the ongoing weakness in new residential
   construction.

   Upon assuming the role of CEO, I initiated a strategic review to assess
   our direction and priorities, to ensure that wienerberger is positioned
   for long-term success. The review focuses on two areas: performance
   enhancement measures and a portfolio review. We have made good progress.
   The performance enhancement measures have largely been identified, and the
   portfolio review is advancing well.

   Our focus is clearly on reducing leverage, strengthening the balance
   sheet, and improving profitability and cash generation to enhance our
   financial resilience and strategic flexibility.”

   Strategic review

   The strategic review mainly focuses on two streams, performance
   enhancement and a structured portfolio review. The identification of
   performance enhancement measures has been largely completed. By the end of
   2028, recurring savings will be generated on an ongoing basis, resulting
   in an improvement of operating EBITDA of €140 million in 2029. These
   savings have been identified across the entire Group, including
   initiatives to optimize and bundle sourcing across all procurement levers,
   as well as efficiency and cost improvements in operations and SG&A.
   Implementation will begin immediately. All measures already initiated
   under the “Fit for Growth” program will continue as planned. The
   performance enhancement measures identified as part of the strategic
   review are expected to deliver additional earnings improvements beyond
   these existing initiatives.

   Reducing leverage is a key priority for the Group. While the portfolio and
   capital allocation review is under way, wienerberger has paused M&A, is
   limiting capital expenditure and is reviewing its dividend policy. The
   review builds on the existing direction towards renovation and
   infrastructure and includes selective disposals where they reduce
   complexity and create shareholder value.

   Next steps

   The company will provide further details on the strategic review together
   with its 2027 outlook on March 4, 2027, following its publication of
   wienerberger’s 2026 FY Results on February 17, 2027.
