Interim reports

On 12 May 2026, A.S. Création published its interim report as at 31 March 2026:

Against the backdrop of a market environment that remained challenging, A.S. Création Tapeten AG recorded a 7.1% decline in turnover to €29.4 million in the first quarter of 2026 (previous year: €31.6 million). Geopolitical uncertainties, a weak construction sector and subdued consumer sentiment had a particularly negative impact.

Despite the decline in revenue, A.S. Création achieved an operating profit of €1.4 million in the first quarter of 2026, in line with the previous year. This was largely due to the improvement in the gross profit margin to 55.5%. At the same time, efficiency measures and cost discipline had a positive impact, enabling both other operating expenses and staff costs to be reduced. Profit after tax stood at €0.7 million (previous year: €0.8 million). Currency effects had no material impact on the result.

Against the backdrop of the first-quarter results, the Management Board confirms its full-year forecast, even though the market environment remains challenging. For the 2026 financial year, revenue of between €95 million and €110 million and an adjusted operating profit in the range of €-1.5 million to €3.0 million are expected.
