(SeaPRwire) – Amsterdam, 21 April 2026. Cabka N.V. (referred to as “Cabka” or the “Company” alongside its subsidiaries), a firm specializing in converting difficult-to-recycle plastic waste into advanced Reusable Transport Packaging (RTP), and listed on Euronext Amsterdam, has released its trading update for the initial quarter of 2026.
In the first quarter of 2026, sales totaled €47.3 million, marking a 7% rise from Q1 2025 (€44.1 million). The consistent implementation of our strategic plan, coupled with rigorous cost control, led to a notable enhancement in profitability year-over-year.
Cabka’s European Portfolio division experienced a favorable trend in Q1, with revenues climbing 10% year-on-year. Conversely, US Portfolio revenues decreased by 18%, which was anticipated. The enhanced US sales team is actively developing its pipeline, anticipating improved performance throughout the year.
The Pooling & Customized Solutions segment in Europe largely held steady, experiencing a marginal 1% year-on-year decrease. This was due to robust underlying performance being balanced against a strong comparative period from the previous year.
European Contract Manufacturing saw substantial growth, increasing by 32% year-on-year. In the US, the strategic pivot towards Contract Manufacturing persisted, aiming for greater capacity utilization. Initiatives introduced in the second half of 2025 made their first full quarterly contribution, aiding in utilization improvements at the St. Louis plant.
The ECO segment maintained stability year-on-year, showing a 1% increase, as elevated product sales compensated for reduced recycling fees, driven by ongoing demand for environmentally friendly construction and road safety products.
Alexander Masharov, CEO, stated: “The first quarter of 2026 represents a strong beginning to the year, demonstrating a distinct enhancement in both sales and profitability, which underscores the consistent implementation of our strategy. Order volumes across all segments showed positive development, offering clear prospects for the next quarter.
We reaffirm our outlook for 2026, anticipating increased revenues and an improved EBITDA margin compared to 2025. Our focus remains on rigorous execution and generating cash amidst the unpredictable geopolitical landscape.”
