ROCA Industry reports profit from the first quarter: EBITDA up 138.4% and revenue higher by 25.5%

Bucharest, May 29, 2026 – ROCA Industry, Romania’s first industrial holding specialized in construction materials, reported consolidated revenue of RON 168.0 million in the first three months of 2026, according to its Q1 2026 report, marking a 25.5% increase compared to Q1 2025, despite an economic environment that continues to put pressure on the market.

During the reporting period, consolidated EBITDA reached RON 16.7 million, corresponding to a 10.0% EBITDA margin, up from RON 7.0 million in Q1 2025, when the margin stood at 5.2%. The 138.4% increase compared to Q1 2025, including the impact of ROCA Industry itself (a holding structure without its own operational activity), reflects the positive contribution of all manufacturing companies within the group. Portfolio companies reported EBITDA margins ranging from 6.5% for DIAL to 20.1% for VELTADOORS.

In Q1 2026, the company recorded a consolidated net profit of RON 0.6 million, achieving a positive result already in the first three months of the year despite the seasonality specific to this period, compared to a net loss of RON 6.2 million in Q1 2025.

An additional highlight of the company’s performance is that all portfolio companies generated positive EBITDA. At the same time, the exceptional performance of Electroplast and BICO Industries should be emphasized. In the case of BICO Industries, the results reflect a gradual recovery in operational activity, driven by the phased implementation of the reorganization program and the realignment of operations between production centers.

ROCA Industry continued to strengthen its position in the construction materials sector amid a market environment still marked by volatility and macroeconomic pressures. The evolution in Q1 2026 reflects both the positive operational dynamics across the entire group and the effectiveness of operational measures and investment projects implemented recently. This performance highlights the holding’s ability to generate sustainable growth and improve profitability indicators even in a challenging economic environment.

“The results of the first quarter confirm that the direction we have chosen is the right one. We exceeded revenue by 25.5% compared to Q1 2025, while EBITDA increased by 138.4%, in a context where macroeconomic pressure is felt across the entire industry. We do not operate in a vacuum: we know the rest of the year comes with real uncertainties, both locally and internationally. That is precisely why what matters to us is not only the performance of one quarter, but the fact that we have built an organization capable of delivering even when conditions are not favorable,” said Ionuț Bindea, CEO ROCA Industry.

How ROCA Industry’s Portfolio Performed in Q1 2026

Electroplast, the leader in the railway cable segment, delivered strong performance in Q1 2026, with revenue increasing by 52.8% compared to Q1 2025, reaching RON 69.7 million. EBITDA reached RON 5.3 million, with a 7.6% margin. The performance was supported by efficient management of metal price volatility, commercial discipline, and rapid adaptation of production and product mix to market requirements. The company continued deliveries for infrastructure projects financed through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) and the Transport Program, while also consolidating production processes related to equipment commissioned in 2025, supporting the expansion of its product portfolio.

In the first three months of 2026, BICO Industries, one of Europe’s leading producers of technical mesh and fabrics, reported revenue of RON 42.4 million, up 24.2% compared to the same period in 2025. EBITDA reached RON 6.2 million, representing a 14.6% margin. In Q1 2026, BICO continued its operational reorganization program focused on efficiency and digitalization, including the relocation of certain activities and modernization of facilities in the Republic of Moldova. Commercially, the sales mix consisted of 72% exports and 28% domestic market sales, against a backdrop of evident stagnation in domestic demand.

EVOLOR, one of the largest producers in Romania’s paints and coatings industry, recorded a 12.6% increase in revenue in Q1 2026, reaching RON 18.5 million. EBITDA was 41.4% above the Q1 2025 level, reaching RON 1.2 million, with a 6.6% margin. A significant development was recorded in the export channel, where sales increased compared to Q1 2025, confirming the company’s expansion potential in foreign markets.

In Q1 2026, VELTADOORS, the largest Romanian manufacturer of doors for residential construction, achieved revenue of RON 21.1 million, representing a 6.2% increase compared to the same period in 2025. EBITDA amounted to RON 4.2 million, up 6.8% versus Q1 2025, with a margin of 20.1%. Commercially, the company advanced through the expansion of its distribution network and is now present in the top two DIY retail chains in Greece. VELTADOORS products will be listed in 17 new stores, while discussions are at an advanced stage for an additional 7 locations, strengthening the company’s presence in external markets and enhancing regional brand visibility.

DIAL, one of Romania’s largest producers of fencing panels and wire mesh, reported revenue of RON 16.3 million and EBITDA of RON 1.1 million, with a 6.5% margin. DIAL doubled its export sales compared to Q1 2025 and secured additional listings in Modern Trade retail networks. The company proactively managed the impact of CBAM by building strategic inventories, partially offsetting the effects of unfavorable weather conditions.

ROCA Industry directly owns a portfolio of five significant players in the construction sector: BICO Industries (the first and largest domestic producer of fiberglass mesh and the only local producer of fiberglass reinforcement products), EVOLOR (one of the largest players in the paints and coatings industry), DIAL (producer of wire-based products), ELECTROPLAST (one of the most important electrical cable manufacturers), and VELTADOORS (the largest Romanian manufacturer of residential construction doors, formed through the merger of ECO EURO DOORS and WORKSHOP DOORS).
