HORNBACH Q2 2026/27 slides: sales rise 7.3%, HELLWEG deal expands footprint
Hornbach, the top-rated DIY retailer in Germany and Austria, reported a 7.3% increase in sales during the second quarter of fiscal year 2026/27, reaching €1,813.7 million. The company's strategic expansion through the acquisition of six former HELLWEG locations in Germany is driving this growth. Hornbach's stock rose 1.56% to $84.7, reflecting investor confidence.
Despite a slight contraction in gross margin to 34.6%, free cash flow surged 50.4% to €194.9 million. The acquisition of HELLWEG stores strengthens Hornbach's position in key metropolitan regions. The retailer also continued organic expansion with successful openings in Graz-Liebenau, Austria, and plans for a Beuningen Vloeren location in the Netherlands.
Customer satisfaction remains a key strength, with Hornbach ranking number one in overall customer satisfaction in both Germany and Austria.
