EQS-Adhoc: Jungheinrich AG: Preliminary figures for the first quarter of 2026: earnings significantly below prior year

Based on preliminary figures for the first quarter of 2026 revenue stood at €1,272 million (prior year: €1,305 million). Earnings before interest and income taxes (EBIT) declined very significantly to €56.5 million (prior year: €104.5 million). The EBIT margin fell accordingly to 4.4 percent (prior year: 8.0 percent). The main reasons for this were increased price pressure due to an intense competitive environment, negative capacity utilisation effects as well as the strike at the Lüneburg plant, which ended in February 2026. These factors overall resulted in a lower gross margin compared to the prior year’s period.

In addition, EBIT includes one-off effects from the deconsolidation of the Russian subsidiary sold in February 2026 amounting to €20 million and expenses for the transformation programme initiated in July 2025 amounting to €1 million. No one-off effects occurred in the prior year’s period.

Order intake stood at €1,535 million and is thus significantly above the previous year’s figure (€1,386 million). Among other things, this was due to pull-forward effects in the first quarter of 2026 resulting from price increases.

The forecast published for the current financial year on 27 March 2026 remains unchanged.

Jungheinrich AG’s interim statement as of 31 March 2026 will be published on 7 May 2026.
