Capital Markets Day: Phoenix Mecano focused on profitability and innovation

Phoenix Mecano is systematically implementing its strategy, with a focus on sustainably boosting profitability. At its second Capital Markets Day, the Group confirms its medium-term targets of an EBIT margin of 8–12% and an ROCE of over 15% by 2026. However, due to external challenges and the strategic streamlining of its portfolio, the desired annual growth rates of 6–10% will not be achieved by the end of 2026.

Kloten/Stein am Rhein, 11 December 2025 . In the current challenging market environment, Phoenix Mecano is centring its strategy on sustainably boosting profitability. The management and Board of Directors have decided to make profitability their top priority and confirm the ambitious targets of an earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) margin of 8–12% and a return on capital employed (ROCE) of over 15% by 2026. These objectives underscore their confidence in the strength and resilience of Phoenix Mecano's proven business model.

The challenging growth targets of 6–10% per annum by 2026 are unlikely to be achievable. The reasons for this are, firstly, the slowdown in growth recorded by the smart furniture business (DOT Group) in the current year. New customs regulations caused temporary disruptions to supply chains in the global furniture industry, and end customers in the key US market remain cautious. Despite a slight recovery, this has led to a decline in incoming orders and sales so far this year.

Secondly, the industrial divisions' core European markets have been experiencing a recessionary environment for over a year. The consistent focus on global, structurally growing niche markets only partially offset these declines in sales. In addition, Phoenix Mecano has optimised its industrial activities portfolio, making targeted divestments and concentrating its operating activities on areas offering sustained profitable growth.

For the coming year, Phoenix Mecano anticipates an economic recovery in its core European markets and, following the recent easing of the customs situation, positive momentum for the smart furniture business.
