Dormakaba Posts 4% Organic Sales Growth in Q1, Reaffirms Full-Year Outlook

Dormakaba Holding AG (DOKA) reported a 4.0% increase in organic sales for the first quarter of its 2026/27 fiscal year, supported by a mix of higher volumes and pricing adjustments. The security and access solutions provider reaffirmed its full-year financial guidance in its initial quarterly trading update.

First-Quarter Performance

According to the company's report, total net sales reached CHF 702.9 million. The organic growth was composed of a 1.3% increase in volume and a 2.7% contribution from pricing measures.

Performance varied across its business segments. The Access Solutions division recorded strong volume growth, while the Key & Wall Solutions division's growth was primarily driven by price increases implemented to offset inflation in raw material costs.

Net merger and acquisition activity, including three bolt-on acquisitions, contributed 0.2% to sales, as the impact of acquisitions was largely offset by divestments. Favorable foreign exchange effects provided an additional 1.1% lift, bringing total reported net sales growth to 5.2%.
