The global supplier of production technology for woodworking reported declining orders, lower sales, and a lower operating profit for the first quarter. Business continued to be hampered by weak demand from the furniture industry.<\/p>\n<p>Order intake in the first three months of 2026 amounted to \u20ac370 million, approximately seven percent below the previous year's figure of \u20ac397 million.<\/p>\n<p>\"We continue to feel the effects of the reluctance to invest among customers in the furniture sector,\" commented CEO Dr. Daniel Schmitt. \"Investments are being postponed further and further. It is currently impossible to predict when this investment backlog will be resolved.\"<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, the business with automated production technology for wooden houses developed steadily. The order backlog remained almost at the previous year's level of \u20ac801 million.<\/p>\n<p>Sales fell by around nine percent in the first quarter to \u20ac310 million, compared to \u20ac341 million in the same period last year. Homag cites lower order intake as a result of the trade disputes in the second and third quarters of 2025 as one of the reasons.<\/p>\n<p>Operating profit (EBIT before special items) also declined \u2013 from \u20ac12.9 million to \u20ac9.5 million. According to the company, in addition to the lower revenue level, planned one-off expenses for an IT system migration and higher expenditures for research and development had an impact.<\/p>\n<p>Homag remains optimistic for the coming quarters and expects improvements in sales and earnings compared to the start of the year. The number of employees decreased to 6,712 as of March 31, 2026, down from 6,979 a year earlier.<\/p>\n<p>The Homag Group is majority-owned by the D\u00fcrr Group and is one of the world's leading providers of integrated solutions for the woodworking industry and trades.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":98744,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"Default","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5204],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-98743","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 -
