Presentation
Operator
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to today’s conference call of Wienerberger’s Q1 2026 Results. I am Judith, your operator for today. [Operator Instructions] The conference is being recorded. [Operator Instructions] And with this, I hand over to Therese Jander.
Therese Jander
Senior Vice President of Investor Relations
Good morning, everyone, and thank you, Judith. Warm welcome to our Q1 results call. My name is Therese Jander, and I’m pleased to be hosting this call today from Vienna, our headquarters. And I’m joined here by Dagmar Steinert, our CFO. We will begin with a brief presentation of the key developments and our financials for the quarter, and then we will open the line for questions. So with that, I will hand over now to Steinert.
Dagmar Steinert
CFO & Member of the Managing Board
Yes. Thank you, Therese. Good morning, everyone, and a warm welcome from my side as well. Our CEO, Heimo Scheuch, is still recovering from an infection, and therefore, he is not participating today. So yes, let me start with the presentation and jump directly into it. And our first quarter is not a surprise at all. The soft start in the year is fully in line with our expectations, and it was driven by weather-related weakness, especially in January and February. Very important, we saw a clear recovery already in March and volumes picking up and our performance was back to prior year’s levels.
