Wienerberger:  In the first quarter of 2019, Austrian based international bricks and a clay roof producer Wienerberger increased its revenues at Group level by 15% to Euro 776.8 mn. Wienerberger took advantage of strong demand and favorable weather conditions that permitted an early start of the construction season. The company also benefited from the effect of price adjustments implemented in the course of 2018 in anticipation of rising cost inflation. Adjusted EBITDA rose steeply by 89% to Euro 109.0 mn (compared to Euro  57.7 mn in the first quarter of 2018). Fast Forward 2020, Wienerberger’s performance optimization program, contributed Euro 15 mn to the improvement in earnings. The company’s net profit increased to Euro 26.8 mn as compared to a loss of Euro 19.6 mn due to seasonal reasons booked in the first quarter of 2018.
Wienerberger: weekly performance: 4.87%

Austrian Post: Austrian Post’s Group revenue in the first quarter of the current financial year amounted to Euro 492.5 mn, comprising a slight increase of 0.4% year-on-year. On the basis of the solid revenue development combined with strict cost discipline, Group EBIT rose by 1.3% year-on-year to Euro 57.4 mn. The traditional letter mail business is anticipated to experience volume declines of about 5% annually as a consequence of electronic substitution. In contrast, good growth rates are expected in the Austrian parcel business in 2019, driven by the expansion of e-commerce.
Österreichische Post: weekly performance: -1.70%

Uniqa: CEE insurance group Uniqa made a positive start to 2019 with earnings before taxes of Euro 42.3 mn in the first quarter. The previous year’s figure – adjusted for one-time gains on disposal of Euro 47.4 mn from the sale of the interest in Casinos Austria Aktiengesellschaft – was Euro 23.7 mn. Total premiums written by the Uniqa Group (including the savings portion of unit- and index-linked life insurance) went down slightly by 0.4 per cent to Euro 1,530.0 mn in the first quarter of 2019. Uniqa is still intending to increase the annual distribution per share again in the coming year as part of a progressive dividend policy.
Uniqa: weekly performance: -1.03%
