In Q1 2026, NORMA Group’s consolidated sales revenue totaled EUR 208.6 million compared with the same period a year earlier (Q1 2025: EUR 221.2 million), representing a decline of 5.7%. This includes primarily negative exchange rate effects of -4.4% related to the US dollar and the Chinese renminbi. Adjusted for these currency effects, NORMA Group recorded a decline in sales of just 1.3% in the first three months of 2025.
This development at the Group level was mirrored in the Americas and EMEA regional segments. The decline in sales was most pronounced in the EMEA region in Q1 2026 due to continued weak demand from the European automotive industry. Negative currency effects were pronounced in the Americas region, where sales declined organically only slightly. The Asia-Pacific region posted positive organic growth thanks to good demand from China, but it was unable to offset the onerous currency effects. Both the Mobility & New Energy and Industry Applications business segments posted positive organic growth in the region.
