Wolftank Group achieves profitable growth in Q1 2026: Sales up 46% and
EBIT almost quadrupled
• Sales increase to EUR 37.6m (Q1 2025: EUR 25.7m)
• EBITDA rises to EUR 3.5m, EBITDA margin 9.3% (Q1 2025: 8.2%)
• EBIT nearly quadrupled to EUR 2.2m, EBIT margin 5.9% (Q1 2025: 2.3%)
• Profit after tax up to EUR 1.0m
Wolftank Group AG (ISIN: AT0000A25NJ6), a leading provider of
environmental technologies and emission-free infrastructure solutions, has
started the 2026 financial year with a significant jump in earnings.
Operational business proved resilient even against the backdrop of a
challenging geopolitical environment. In the first quarter of 2026,
consolidated sales increased by nearly half to EUR 37.6m (Q1 2025: EUR
25.7m). Earnings improved even more significantly: Earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) rose by 70% to
EUR 3.5m (Q1 2025: EUR 2.1m), and the EBITDA margin improved to 9.3% (Q1
2025: 8.2%). Operating profit (EBIT) increased to EUR 2.2m (Q1 2025: EUR
0.6m), and the EBIT margin rose to 5.9% (Q1 2025: 2.3%). Profit before tax
amounted to EUR 1.8m (Q1 2025: EUR 0.2m), and profit after tax rose to EUR
1.0m (Q1 2025: EUR 0.10m). Order intake in the first three months totaled
EUR 26.8m, and the order backlog stood at EUR 124.5m as of 31 March 2026
(31 December 2025: EUR 175m). The decline in the order backlog primarily
reflects the scheduled completion of several major projects. At the same
time, the Group continues to have high visibility for the coming quarters.
The results reflect the consistent implementation of efficiency measures
and process optimizations. In addition, high-margin projects are improving
earnings quality. “The focus on profitability, operational excellence, and
high-quality contracts is clearly paying off. The significant improvement
in earnings is the result of hard work across all areas of the Group,
consistent efficiency measures, and disciplined project execution. At the
same time, we are working through our large order backlog on schedule and
profitably, laying the foundation for sustainable growth,” says Simon
Reckla, CEO of Wolftank Group.
Segments
In the Environmental Services segment, the focus remained on profitable
and efficient project execution. Strong demand for environmental and
remediation solutions drove sales up to EUR 29.2m (Q1 2025: EUR 22.6m).
EBITDA rose to EUR 2.5m (Q1 2025: EUR 1.5m). The business segment’s
performance confirms the strategic direction, with a clear focus on order
quality rather than pure volume growth.
In 2026, the focus in the Hydrogen & Renewable Energy segment is on the
successful completion and handover of ongoing major projects. In
particular, the hydrogen infrastructure projects funded by Italy’s PNRR
program are entering important implementation phases. The successful
execution of these ongoing projects strengthens the Group’s market
position in the European hydrogen infrastructure sector and creates an
important reference base for future tenders and international growth
opportunities. Sales in Q1 rose to EUR 8.4m, up from EUR 3.1m in Q1 2025.
EBITDA increased to EUR 1.0m (Q1 2025: EUR 0.6m).
Strategic initiatives lay the foundation for future growth
In line with the GreenLead 2030 strategy, Wolftank Group is driving the
development of new business areas. The focus remains on expanding existing
expertise into adjacent technologies, services, customer segments, and
geographic markets. Following the strategic cooperation agreement with
High Impact Technology LLC concluded in May, initial use cases and pilot
projects in the defense and critical infrastructure sectors are being
explored and prepared, with the aim to leverage additional business
potential.
Further strategic partnerships are currently being evaluated, for example
in the field of battery recycling, to strengthen the Group’s positioning
as a technology and know-how partner along the recycling value chain.
Innovations in the service business are designed to further improve
efficiency, safety, and scalability. For example, a newly developed
automated tank-cleaning robot is currently being patented and is scheduled
for deployment in operational pilot applications in 2026.
Outlook
Geopolitical uncertainties and their global impact on the oil and gas
markets are creating increasing cost pressure due to rising energy prices
as well as higher procurement and logistics costs. The Group is closely
monitoring this development and expects potential impacts on project costs
in the coming quarters. Nevertheless, Wolftank Group is maintaining its
previously announced guidance for 2026, which forecasts an EBITDA margin
of 6-7% on sales of EUR 135 million. This outlook is supported by the high
quality of projects, long-term customer relationships, and rigorous cost
control. The margin development achieved in the first quarter confirms the
effectiveness of the efficiency measures implemented, although
profitability may normalize seasonally over the course of the year due to
geopolitical crises and the project mix.
“The first quarter reflects the consistent alignment of our organization
toward profitable growth. At the same time, we are making targeted
investments in new business areas and technologies to lay the foundation
for Wolftank Group’s next growth phase. Despite a challenging geopolitical
environment, we see the company well positioned for 2026,” concludes CEO
Simon Reckla.
