(AWP Alliance News) - Forbo Holding AG posted first-half 2026 net profit of CHF 30.8 million, down 7.8%, as EBIT slipped 2.3% to CHF 41.9 million. Net sales were broadly flat at CHF 545.7 million, down 0.2% in Swiss francs, while EBITDA edged down 1.6% to CHF 66.5 million and the EBITDA margin narrowed 0.2 percentage point to 12.2%.

Flooring Systems net sales fell 1.2% to CHF 370.4 million, while divisional EBIT dropped 10.6% to CHF 33.7 million, with the division citing a weak construction market and higher raw material, energy and transport costs. Movement Systems net sales rose 1.9% to CHF 175.4 million, while EBIT climbed 41.6% to CHF 12.6 million on a recovery led by logistics demand.

Forbo confirmed its 2026 guidance for slightly lower sales due to currency effects and slightly higher operating profit, assuming conditions do not deteriorate materially in the second half.
