Kingspan revenue up 8% driven largely by its data centre segment

Revenue at building materials manufacturer Kingspan increased by 8% during the first half of its current financial year, driven by a significant increase in data centre-focused business, the company has announced.

Between January and June, the company reported revenue of €4.89bn, with earnings before interest, tax depreciation, and amortisation of €626m, up 9%. It reported profit after tax of €352.6m compared to the €334.2m recorded during the first half of 2025.

Advnsys, a division of the company which produces infrastructure for data centres, saw revenue increase by 34%, to just over €1bn.

“By value, Advnsys order intake and backlog have both more than doubled compared to prior year. Even more impressively, intake in the data solutions side of the segment almost quadrupled,” the company said.

Last year, Kingspan announced plans to spin off Advnsys into its own separate company, but in January of this year it abandoned those plans.

Kingspan’s Insulated Building Envelopes sales were up by 2% to €3.84bn.

Kingspan chief executive Gene Murtagh said momentum “picked up considerably” during the second quarter and they expect this trend “will continue to accelerate in the second half”.

“Advnsys, our data infrastructure business is growing extremely well, whilst our Insulated Building Envelopes business, despite market headwinds, also delivered a very strong performance, with sales, profit and order intake all growing,” Mr Murtagh said.

“Overall we continue to trade well, with structural growth setting us apart from the general movements in end markets.” 

During the first half of the year, the company also invested €233.6m worldwide, with €155.9m being capital expenditure. A total of €77.7m of this was in bolt-on acquisitions.

Mr Murtagh added across the group its order backlog was “considerably higher than at the same point last year” and on that basis “we can reasonably expect to break through €10bn in full-year revenue for the first time”.

“We expect revenue growth will translate to full year trading profit of €1.125bn, an increase of approximately 18% on 2025”.

The company added the global trading environment remained mixed. However, it noted the tech sector continued to move forward “fully detached from the regular economy and normal building activity”.

The company said this is a “clear positive” for it in both its Insulated Building Envelopes and the Advnsys segments.
