1 Detailed information concerning the calculation methods of individual performance indicators can be found in the full version of the Annual Report. 2 EBITDA represents operating profit before: exceptional items, results of equity-accounted joint ventures, and operating depreciation and amortisation. 3 Investment represents purchases of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, excluding goodwill. 4 Profit or loss before tax, divided by revenue. 5 Operating profit before exceptional items and results of equity-accounted joint ventures, divided by capital employed. 6 Since FY 2024|25, as a result of reporting in accordance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), which differ from the reporting requirements of the previous years, some of the non-financial metrics are based on new calculation parameters, thus limiting their comparability with the previous years’ values. 7 Average number of full-time equivalents in the financial year. 8 In line with the ESRS, the injury rate has been calculated as the lost time injury rate (LTIR) since FY 2024|25. 9 Scope 2, market-based 10 Dividend proposal to the Annual General Meeting. 11 Based on the closing share price at the balance sheet date. 12 Non-current assets excluding deferred tax assets and the item “other assets”. 13 Ratio of net debt to total equity.
In the 2025|26 financial year, revenue of the AGRANA Group was € 3,237.3 million, down moderately from the previous year, with the decrease due largely to lower volume and prices in the ACS – Sugar segment.
Operating profit (EBIT) in 2025|26 was € 3.2 million, a very significant decrease from the year-ago level of € 40.5 million. The decline, which occurred despite an improved operating performance, resulted from higher negative net exceptional items, due primarily to impairment charges and redundancy plan benefit expenses in the ACS – Sugar segment. Details on this are presented in the ACS – Sugar segment report and the Notes. In the Food & Beverage Solutions (FBS) segment, an improved performance in the formulation (i.e., food) business drove an increase in EBIT to € 103.3 million from the previous year’s already high € 99.7 million. Weaker margins on ethanol and on saccharification products led to a significant reduction in the ACS – Starch segment’s EBIT to € 23.5 million (previous year: € 31.9 million). The ACS – Sugar segment, despite a persistently challenging environment, achieved an improvement in the earnings metric “operating loss before exceptional items and results of equity-accounted joint ventures”, although the amount remained clearly negative. Net exceptional items amounted to an expense of € 71.3 million, related mainly to impairment charges on property, plant and equipment, and led to an EBIT loss of € 106.6 million in the ACS – Sugar segment (previous year: loss of € 75.4 million). Details on the share of results of equity-accounted joint ventures, which affect EBIT results in the ACS – Starch and ACS – Sugar segments, can be found in the respective two segment reports and the Notes. In the 2025|26 financial year, the reporting area “Holding Co. & Other” postedrevenue of € 36.6 million (previous year: € 30.4 million) and an EBIT loss of € 17.0 million (previous year: loss of € 15.7 million).
In 2025|26, AGRANA invested a total of € 102.9 million, or € 10.7 million less than in the year before. Purchases of property, plant and equipment and intangibles were thus below operating depreciation and amortisation, with the following distribution by business segment:
