EQS-Adhoc: Delignit AG extends lease agreement for Bellotti S.p.A.’s Rail and Marine business unit and raises revenue guidance for the 2026 financial year

Blomberg, 16 July 2026. Delignit AG (ISIN DE000A0MZ4B0), a leading manufacturer of ecological hardwood-based products and system solutions, has extended its existing lease agreement with Bellotti S.p.A. for the Rail and Marine business unit until 31 January 2027. Owing to the additional revenue contribution from the lease extension and, in parallel, the recent return to stronger momentum from the Delignit Group’s core business, the Executive Board is raising the revenue guidance for the 2026 financial year to €68 million (previously: €66 million). The profitability guidance remains unchanged and continues to anticipate a stable EBITDA margin of 7 to 8 %. This expectation is based on an overall stable trend in the key target markets, even though the market environment remains characterised by uncertainties.
As before, the lease agreement covers exclusively the Rail and Marine business units of the long-established Italian company Bellotti S.p.A. and has now been extended beyond the term originally scheduled to end on 31 July 2026, until 31 January 2027. The extension takes into account the ongoing restructuring proceedings under Italian law involving Bellotti S.p.A., which, according to current estimates, are expected to continue until autumn 2026. Delignit AG still intends to examine the conditions and possibilities for a permanent takeover of the Rail and Marine business unit in the course of the second half of 2026. No decision has yet been taken in this regard.
The half-yearly report is scheduled for publication on Thursday, 13 August 2026, on which date a digital earnings call will also be held. Registration will be available from the end of July on the company’s website under the Investor Relations section.
