Thanks to the Group’s diversified business model, sound balance sheet and, not least, the structural transformation at both the holding company and segment levels through the NEXT LEVEL strategy, we consider AGRANA well-positioned for the future. Regarding the short-term outlook for the 2025|26 financial year, it should be noted that further impacts from the ongoing war in Ukraine are likely, along with a continuing overall intensification of the already high volatility in the markets both on the product and procurement side. In addition, the economic and financial impacts, and duration, of the turmoil in the global tariff landscape are difficult to forecast. We expect Group EBIT for the full year 2025|26 to be steady1.
We endeavour to offer AGRANA’s owners a reliable return even in difficult times and so, in line with our commitment to dividend continuity, we wish to pay you, our esteemed shareholders, a dividend for the 2024|25 financial year as well. The decision to propose a payout of € 0.70 per share sufficiently reflects our financial stability, including the free cash flow generated in 2024|25.
We would like to conclude by thanking our partners, customers, suppliers and all other stakeholders for the valued collaboration in the 2024|25 financial year. Our special thanks go to our employees for their efforts and commitment during these challenging and transforming times. It is only through team spirit and cohesion that constructive systemic change becomes possible. Together we will meet the challenges ahead and secure AGRANA’s successful future.
The Management Board of AGRANA Beteiligungs-AG
