Geberit reported currency-adjusted net sales growth of 4.8% for 2025, reaching CHF 3.16 billion. The Swiss sanitary products maker benefited from strong volume and new product launches across most European markets, offsetting persistent weakness in China. Fourth-quarter performance was particularly strong, with sales up 6.4% on a currency-adjusted basis.

European demand drove the results, with Austria, Benelux, and Germany posting the strongest gains. The Middle East and Africa region also surged 24.8%. However, the Far East and Pacific region slipped 0.6% due to China's construction slowdown, though India provided a partial offset. The company's margins were pressured by currency headwinds and costs from closing a German ceramics plant.

Looking ahead, Geberit expects slight market growth in Europe for 2026 but no full recovery. The outlook outside Europe is mixed: continued declines in China contrast with stronger demand in India and the Gulf. The company also anticipates slightly higher material prices in the first quarter, testing its ability to maintain profitability.
