About HORNBACH Holding AG & Co. KGaA

HORNBACH Holding AG & Co. KGaA is a German specialized home-improvement and building-materials retailer with a strong position in DIY, renovation, gardening, and construction-related products. Listed on Xetra/Frankfurt (DAX/MDAX/SDAX) in Germany, the group is best understood as a project-oriented retailer: it serves private customers undertaking large renovation jobs as well as trade-oriented buyers, combining large-format stores, wide assortments, substantial stock levels, and advisory services. The company is one of the most established names in the European DIY sector and operates as an independent family-controlled group.([cache.pressmailing.net](https://cache.pressmailing.net/content/cf3cd8a2-b1d3-4683-82d5-894c39afd7cd/20250521_CN_FY2024-25_DE_final.pdf)) The HORNBACH story dates back to 1877, when the Hornbach family built a trading business that later evolved into a pan-European retail group. The company’s headquarters are in Bornheim, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, giving it a clear German base while supporting a broader European operating footprint. HORNBACH’s structure is centered on three main business units: HORNBACH Baumarkt, HORNBACH Immobilien, and HORNBACH Baustoff Union. This setup allows the group to cover core DIY retail, site and property ownership/management, and building-material distribution.([cache.pressmailing.net](https://cache.pressmailing.net/content/cf3cd8a2-b1d3-4683-82d5-894c39afd7cd/20250521_CN_FY2024-25_DE_final.pdf)) Operationally, HORNBACH Baumarkt is the main profit engine. It runs large DIY and garden centers and complements them with e-commerce. The proposition is built around a very broad product range, extensive in-store availability, competitive pricing, and specialist advice for complex projects such as structural work, roofing, interior finishing, facades, civil engineering materials, and garden/landscaping applications. HORNBACH Baustoff Union provides a more professional angle, supplying construction materials to contractors and trade customers. The group’s geographic footprint spans multiple European markets, with Germany remaining its anchor market and a meaningful presence across the continent.([pers.hornbach.nl](https://pers.hornbach.nl/hornbach-zet-groei-door-in-eerste-helft-boekjaar-2025-26/?utm_source=openai)) From a competitive standpoint, HORNBACH has long differentiated itself through a project-store concept, strong service quality, and a reputation for reliability in large-ticket home improvement spending. Recent corporate developments underline that strategy. For fiscal 2024/25, the group reported sales of EUR 6.2 billion and adjusted EBIT of EUR 269.5 million, and proposed a stable dividend of EUR 2.40 per share. For 2025/26, management expects sales at or slightly above the prior year and adjusted EBIT around the prior-year level, despite wage inflation and a still-mixed consumer environment. The company also continued expanding its store base in 2025/26, reinforcing its market position in Germany and across Europe.([cache.pressmailing.net](https://cache.pressmailing.net/content/cf3cd8a2-b1d3-4683-82d5-894c39afd7cd/20250521_CN_FY2024-25_DE_final.pdf))
