The basic information on the Group as presented in the 202 4 Group management report remains unchanged.
The global economy was characterized by eco nomic uncertainties, particularly geopolitical conflicts. The threat of tariffs stimulated global economic activity at the beginning of the year and led to advance deliveries to the United States. The trade agreements recently reached by a number of countries, including the EU, with the United States provide a framework for international trade and thus increase planning certainty. However, these agreements stipulate significantly higher tariff levels for most goods, which means further uncertainties for sales markets.
In the United States, the economy temporarily lost significant momentum.
The Chinese economy grew at a modest level due to the trade conflict with the United States and the associated economic slowdown.
The economy in the eurozone has also continued to slow down, with the German economy in particular being burdened by structural problems.
In the Bathroom&Wellness Division, the continued decline in residential construction in Europe, combined with a general reluctance to invest, even in renovations, had a significant impact on our business performance. This was particularly evident in Central and Western Europe. By contrast, construction activity improved in some markets in Southern and Northern Europe and in the Near-Middle-East region, which had a positive effect on our bathroom business. In Egypt, the construction industry declined significantly as a result of the devaluation of the Egyptian pound combined with high inflation.
Performance in the Dining&Lifestyle Division was impacted by the general reluctance of private consumers to spend, which was particularly noticeable in Europe.
Based on the first nine months of the 2025 financial year, the Management Board of Villeroy&Boch AG considers the Group's overall economic situation to be satisfactory.
We generated consolidated revenue (including licence income) of € 1,075.2 million in the first nine monthsof the 2025 financial year and were thus up € 67.4 million or 6.7 % higher than the previous year (€ 1,007.8 million) as a result of the acquisition. It should be noted that in the comparable prior-year period, revenue contributions from the acquired Ideal Standard companies were only included from 1 March 2024. In addition, the previous year included the revenue of Argent Australia Pty. Ltd., which w as deconsolidated on 31 December 2024.
As a result of the Ideal Standard acquisition and the associated increase in the internationalisa tion of the Villeroy&Boch Group, we achieved strong revenue growth of 10.6% year-on-year to € 92.1 million, particularly in EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa). We achieved this primarily in Western Europe (€ +29.9 million/+11.3 %) and Southern Europe (€ +26.8 million/+26.1 %). In Near -Middle-East/Africa, revenue growth amounted to € 5.7 million or +15.5 %.
In APAC (Asia -Pacific) and Americas, we recorded a revenue decrease of -17.4 %, which is primarily attributable to the loss of revenue from the deconsolidated company Argent Australia Pty. Ltd. and the economic downturn in the Chinese market.
At € 158.7 million, orders on hand as of September 30, 2025 were lower than orders on hand as at 31 December 2024 (€ 172.0 million).
Orders on hand in the Bathroom&Wellness Division totalled € 128.1 million compared to € 150.5 million on 31 December 2024.
Orders on hand in the Dining&Lifestyle Division totalled €30.6 million (31 December 2024: € 21.5 million) in particular due to the orders already placed by our business customers for the Christmas season.
In the first nine months of financial year 2025, we achieved an operating EBIT (earnings before interest and tax) of €65.1 million and were thus slightly above the previous year (€64.5 million) by 0.9 %.
Due to a significantly improved non -operating result compared with the previous year of €-24.5 million (previous year: € -41.1 million), Group EBIT at € 40.6 million was considerably above the previous year, which closed with € 23.4 million.
The non-operating result mainly contains special expenses in connection with the Ideal Standard integration and the planned closure of our wellness plant in Belgium. In the previous year, the one-off expense from the recognition of market values attributed to acquired inventories (€-22.3 million) as part of purchase price allocation, as well as transaction and integration costs (€-13.0 million).
The financial result of € -26.3 million was significantly higher year -on-year by € -11.0 million (previous year: € -15.3 million). The main drivers for this were the higher financing interest from the increased short -term financial liabilities, particularly in foreign currencies. In addition, it should be noted that the financial expenses of the Ideal Standard companieswere only included into the income statement for sevenmonths in the previous year.
Earnings before taxes (EBT) could be significantly increased and amounted to €14.3 million (previous year: € 8.1 million).
The Group's rolling return on net operating assets fell to 9. 8 % as at 30 September 2025 (31 December 2024: 11.2 %).
This was primarily due to the increase in rolling operating net assets, which is mainly reflected in the non-current assets.
The Bathroom&Wellness Division generated revenue of € 865.6 million in the first nine months of the 2025 financial year, 8.3 % up on the previous year (€ 799.5 million) due to acquisitions. It should also be noted that sales performance in Egypt was significantly impacted by negative currency effects amounting to € -6.9 million
In the same period of the previous year, the revenue contributions of the acquired Ideal Standard companies were included from 1 March 2024, and the revenue contributions of the Australian subsidiary, which was deconsolidated as of 31 December 2024, were still included.
Through the harmonisation of the product groups of Villeroy&Boch and Ideal Standard, the business areas were redefined. These are: sanitary ceramics and kitchen, fittings and shower systems, wellness, bathroom furniture and installation systems. For comparability purposes, the previous year's figures were adjusted accordingly.
We were able to achieve revenue growth in almost all business areas as a result of the acquisition, which was particularly evident in the fittings and shower systems business area (€ +37.9 million). We also achieved a significant increase in revenue in the sanitary ceramics and kitchen business area(€ +21.7 million). Our new products ALU+ and Antao, as well as the i.life and Architectura collections, also contributed to the revenuegrowth.
From a regional perspective, the revenue growth is particularly evident in our main region EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa), where we were able to achieve a revenue increase of 13.4% or
€ 93.6 million. In contrast, we had to accept a revenue decrease of -26.9 % in the APAC (Asia - Pacific) and Americas regions, which is particularly related to the economic downturn in China and the revenue from Argent Australia Pty. Ltd., which was still included in the previous year.
The Bathroom&Wellness Division generated an operating profit (EBIT ) of € 52.5 million (previous year: € 52.3 million) in the first nine months of the 2025 financial year, remaining at theprevious year's level.
The rolling operating return on net assets decreased despite the slightly improved operating result, particularly due to the increase in rolling operating net assets, to 9.5 % (10.2 % as at 31 December 2024).
The Dining&Lifestyle Division generated revenue of € 207.6 million in the first nine months of the 2025 financial year (previous year: € 206.2 million). This includes licence revenue of € 0.6 million (previous year: € 3.3 million). Revenue excluding licence revenue increased by 2.0 % to € 207.0 million.
In terms of our sales channels, the revenue performance with our stationary retail partners is particularly noteworthy, with revenue increasing by € 7.2 million or 11.0 %. In addition, we achieved a revenueincrease of € 2.3 million or 8.9 % in the project business for the hotel and restaurant sector, where we have focused strongly on the upmarket segment.
In our main region EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa), we had to accept a revenue decline of € - 1.4 million or -0.8 % . We were able to partially compensate for this through increased revenue in the APAC (Asia -Pacific) and Americas regions(€ +2.8 million or +7.0 % ).
The Dining&Lifestyle Division closed with an operating result (EBIT) of € 12.6 million, up 3.3 % on the previous year (previous year: € 12.2 million).
The rolling operating return on net assets increased primarily as a result of the increased rolling operating result to 3 6.6 % (32.1 % as at 31 December 2024).
As at 30 September2025, our equity decreased by € 19.9 million compared with the year -end 2024 to € 344.8 million. The change was mainly attributable to the achieved period result(€ +8.4 million), the currency-related decrease in revaluation reserves (€ -5.3 million) and the distribution of the 2024 dividend (€ -23.3 million).
The equity ratio (including non-controlling interests) consequently fell from 20.9% at the yearend 2024 to 19.9 % as at 30 September2025.
In the first nine months of 2025 financial year, we made investments in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment totalling € 27.1 million (previous year: € 31.0 million ). The Bathroom&Wellness Division accounted for € 20.5 million of this (previous year: €26.7 million) and the Dining&Lifestyle Division for € 6.6 million (previous year: €4.3 million).
In the Bathroom&Wellness Division, the investment focus was abroad, particularly at our production sites in Bulgaria, Thailand and Hungary.
In the Dining&Lifestyle Division, we invested primarily in the production plants in Merzig and Torgau as well as in the modernisation of our own retail stores.
The Group had obligations to acquire property, plant and equipment and intangible assets in the amount of € 21.8 million as at the end of the reporting period (previous year: €12.7 million). The increase compared with the previous year results from the order commitment in connection with the SAP S/4 HANA implementation project.
Taking into account our financial liabilities of € 490.1 million, the cash and bank balances of € 64.7 million resulted in net liquidity of € -425.4 million as at 30 September 2025 (31 December 2024: € -370.2 million).
The increase in liquidity requirements is due to the dividend payment and financing requirements for net operating assets.
At 3 0 September 2025, the Group had unutilised credit facilities totalling €328.3 million.
At the reporting date, our total equity and liabilities amounted to € 1,731.0 million compared to € 1,747.9 million at 31 December 2024, representing a decrease of €16.9 million.
It should be emphasised that, as a result of the sale of the Northern European business of the Gustavsberg and Vatette brands to the Oras Group, reclassifications were made from the long- and short-term assets and the long - and short-term liabilities into the balance sheet items separately provided for under IFRS. For further details, see the explanations in note 8 "Assets held for sale" and "Liabilities associated with assets held for sale" in the Group notes.
At 51.3 %, the share of total assets attributable to non-current assets was slightlybelow theprevious year (31 December 2024: 52.6 %).
Current assets decreased by €61.3 million compared to 31December 2024.
This is primarily attributable to the decrease in trade receivables (€-30.8 million) and cash and short-term deposits (€ -17.6 million). Current assets are also strongly affected by the reclassifications described above (see note 8 of the Group notes).
On the equity and liabilities side, the largest changes compared to the end of 2024 were in short-term liabilities (€ -19.2 million), particularly due to the reduction in trade payables (€ -33.2 million) and short -term liabilities (€ -14.9 million), which is primarily offset by an increase in short -term financial liabilities (€ +37.5 million). The decrease in long -term liabilities (€ -10.0 million) is mainly due to the
reduction in pension provisions (€ -6.2 million) and the long-term lease liabilities (€ -3.3 million). Both short-term and long-term liabilities are affected by the reclassifications described (see note 8 of the Group notes).
The risks and opportunities described in the 2024 Group management report remain unchanged overall.However, the overall economic and cyclical developments, also intensified by geopolitical challenges and US tariff policy, are becoming more important and are bringing sectorspecific risks more to the fore. We are closely monitoring these developments.
All risk areas continue to be reviewed on an ongoing, targeted basis. Thereis no evidenceof any individual risks that could endanger the continued existence of the Group at this time.
The market environment remains characterised by high uncertainty.
On 1 October 2025, we completed the sale of the Northern European business of the Gustavsberg and Vatette brands to the Finnish sanitary fittings manufacturer Oras Group. The Management Board of Villeroy&Boch AG has specified the forecast for the 2025 fina ncial year due to the economy in our core markets, which has not recovered to date. We expect an increase in Group revenue in the low single-digit percentage range, as well as an operating EBIT and a rolling operating return on net assets that will be slig htly below the previous year.T he forecasts for the investments in property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets remain unchanged at slightly below theprevious year's level .

For this reason, it should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2024. These can be downloaded from the Investor Relations section of the website at www.villeroyboch-group.com.
In the period under review, the accounting and consolidation methods described in the 2024 annual report were extended to include the accounting standards endorsed by the EU and effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 202 5.

The scope of consolidation of the Villeroy&Boch Group comprises a total of 9 1 companies as at 30 September2025 (31.12.2024: 92 companies).
To optimise the Group structure, Villeroy&Boch OOO, Russia, was liquidated on 6 May 2025 and Villeroy&Boch Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd., Singapore, on 5 June 2025. On 12 August 2025, 100 % of the shares in Villeroy&Boch Sweden AB were acquired.
Three companies continue to be treated as non-consolidated companies on account of their insignificant impact on the financial position and financial performance of the Villeroy&Boch Group.
The General Meeting of Shareholders on 9 May 2025 resolved the dividend of € 0.85 per ordinary share and € 0.90 per preference share as proposed by the Supervisory Board and the Management Board of Villeroy&Boch AG. The distribution corresponds to a dividend payment of €12.0 million (previous year: € 14.0 million) for the ordinary share capital and € 11.3 million (previous year: € 13.1 million) for the preference share capital. The dividend was paid on 14 May 2025. The Villeroy&Boch Group held 1,429,614 treasury preference shares (previous year: 1,555,820) as at the distribution date.

Property, plant and equipment in the amount of € 22.6 million was acquiredin the period under review (previous year: € 29.6 million).
The investment focus of the Bathroom&Wellness Division was abroad, particularly at the sites in Bulgaria, Thailand and Hungary.
The Dining&Lifestyle Division invested primarily in the modernisation of the production facilities in Merzig and Torgau. In addition, investments were madein modernising our own retail stores.
Depreciation amounts to € 29.7 million (previous year: € 27.6 million). As at the end of the reporting period, the Villeroy&Boch Group had obligations to acquire property, plant and equipment in the amount of € 7.8 million (31 December 2024: € 7.5 million).
Capitalized right-of-use assets increasedby € 1.4 million to € 75.9 million in the reporting period. This change is mainly due to additions of € 22.8 million (previous year: € 9.2 million) and, offsetting this, depreciationof € 18.8 million (previous year: € 18.4 million) and disposals at carrying amountsof € 1.0 million (previous year: €0.0 million). Expenses for short-term property leases totalled€ 3.3 million (previous year: € 1.9 million) and € 4.0 million (previous year: € 4.4 million) from variable rental payments for property leases.

| Cash equivalents | 1.1 | 29.5 |

Cash and cash equivalents of € 7.8 million were reclassified to "assets held for sale" (see note 8).

The pension provisions decreased overall by € 6.2 million, because the usual payments exceed the necessary additions. The non -current provisions for personnel have not changed in the reporting period. Current provisions for personnel decreased mainly due to the payment of variable remuneration for 2024. In addition, € 0.6 million in personnel provisions were reclassified to "liabilities associated with assets held for sale" (see note 8).
