Wienerberger Reports Growth and Dividend Increase Amid Challenging Year

In 2024, Wienerberger achieved its third-best year, highlighting the strength of its strategy and operational performance despite a challenging construction market. The company reported total revenues of €4.5 billion, marking a 6% increase. Operating EBITDA stood at €760 million, representing a 6% decline due to market pressures. Wienerberger generated free cash flow close to €420 million, a substantial 62% rise. The proposed dividend is €0.95 per share, up by 5.6%.

Wienerberger's resilience was evident in its diversified portfolio. The roof sector benefited from high renovation demand, further boosted by the integration of Terreal. Strategic acquisitions like Slatek OY and Tekken AS expanded the company's offerings, securing long-term growth. The North American facade market faced challenges, while the pipe business thrived. Wienerberger continued to invest in innovation and sustainability, launching initiatives like Wioniq for smart water management.
