An exceptionally cold winter, prolonged low temperatures, and snow cover significantly limited the ability to carry out fieldwork, as clearly confirmed by data from the Central Statistical Office (GUS)<a href=\"#_ftn1\" id=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a>. Construction and installation output in the first month of this year fell by 12.8% year-over-year and by as much as 65.2% month-over-month compared to December 2025. Thus, it was one of the weakest Januaries in at least a decade and a result clearly below market expectations, which had forecast a decline of approximately 5%<a href=\"#_ftn2\" id=\"_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On a global scale, the economy in the first quarter of 2026 also remained under the influence of high uncertainty resulting from geopolitical tensions \u2013 particularly in connection with the conflict in the Middle East \u2013 and a volatile regulatory and trade environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; <em>Today, it is essential for companies to accept that turbulence in the global economy is no longer an exception or a temporary state, but a new paradigm and the standard for doing business. In this reality, competitive advantage is built by those organizations that can quickly adapt to change and resolutely pursue the goal of scaling their business, even in the most demanding environment<\/em> \u2013 says S\u0142awomir Majchrowski, CEO of the Selena Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Selena Group\u2019s key financial indicators for the first quarter of 2026 confirm that the company, despite unfavorable macroeconomic factors, has maintained a stable level and remains on an upward trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Selena Group\u2019s operating profit (EBIT) for the first three months of 2026 amounted to \u20ac7.8 million, representing a year-over-year increase of almost 16%. During the reporting period, the group also recorded an over 9% increase in net profit from continuing operations. Gross profit reached \u20ac6.5 million, while gross margin reached 36%, representing an increase of over 2 percentage points compared to the same period last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Start of the Year with Multidimensional Business Diversification<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the Selena Group, the fundamental tool for risk management in the challenging market conditions of the first three months of the year has consistently been\u2014and remains\u2014geographic and product diversification, as well as the active pursuit of competitive advantages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; <em>Through the growth of key financial indicators following the first quarter of 2026, the Selena Group demonstrates that a period of economic stagnation should not mean a state of permanent limbo for the company<\/em> \u2013 <strong>notes S\u0142awomir Majchrowski<\/strong>. <em>\u2013 For this reason, we regularly analyze the industry landscape and identify geographic markets and product niches that may gain significance \u2013 <\/em>adds <strong>the CEO of the Selena Group<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/selena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Slawomir-Majhrowski-CEO-08_2023-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"S\u0142awomir Majhrowski, Prezes Zarz\u0105du Grupy Selena\" class=\"wp-image-20002\" srcset=\"https:\/\/selena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Slawomir-Majhrowski-CEO-08_2023-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/selena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Slawomir-Majhrowski-CEO-08_2023-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/selena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Slawomir-Majhrowski-CEO-08_2023-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/selena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Slawomir-Majhrowski-CEO-08_2023-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/selena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Slawomir-Majhrowski-CEO-08_2023-145x97.jpg 145w, https:\/\/selena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Slawomir-Majhrowski-CEO-08_2023-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/selena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Slawomir-Majhrowski-CEO-08_2023-390x260.jpg 390w, https:\/\/selena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Slawomir-Majhrowski-CEO-08_2023-383x255.jpg 383w, https:\/\/selena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Slawomir-Majhrowski-CEO-08_2023-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/selena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Slawomir-Majhrowski-CEO-08_2023.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">S\u0142awomir Majhrowski, the CEO of the Selena Group.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, in the first quarter of 2026, the company remained active in both geographic and product diversification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An example of progress in geographic diversification and locating production closer to customers is the investment announced in January regarding the construction of a second dry mortar production plant in Kazakhstan. The choice of this location is no accident\u2014Kazakhstan is a country with a rapidly growing economy, serving as a natural hub for Central Asia for the Selena Group and providing a solid base for further expansion in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is worth noting that Asia is just one of the main directions for the Selena Group\u2019s international business expansion. Western Europe has remained equally important for years, with a particular focus on the Iberian Peninsula, which the company views as one of the Old Continent\u2019s most important economic centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this case, M&amp;A processes remain the main tool for the Selena Group\u2019s development, as exemplified by the recent major transaction involving the acquisition of a 66% stake in the Portuguese holding company Irm\u00e3os Guimar\u00e3es Martins, SGPS, S.A. (Grupo IGM)\u2014a leader in the production and distribution of high-quality sandwich panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; <em>The acquisition of the Portuguese company represents another step in the Selena Group\u2019s consistent efforts to strengthen its position and expand its portfolio with products that have promising growth potential and align with current trends in the construction market.
