AD-HOC ANNOUNCEMENT

Publication of inside information under article 17 MAR

  

Vienna, 15 April 2026

 

Dividend proposal of € 0.35 per share for the 2025|26 financial year

Initial guidance for the new financial year 2026|27

 

The Management Board of AGRANA Beteiligungs-AG has today decided – subject
to approval from the Supervisory Board – to propose a dividend payout in
the amount of € 0.35 per share at the Annual General Meeting for the
2025|26 financial year (dividend for 2024|25: € 0.70 per share). Based on
the closing price at the end of the financial year, this represents a
dividend yield of 3.0%. The Supervisory Board meeting is planned for 11
May 2026 and the Annual General Meeting scheduled to take place on 3 July
2026.

AGRANA remains committed to a predictable, reliable and transparent
dividend policy that is geared to continuity. Dividends are consequently
based not only on financial results but also on the Group’s cash flow and
debt situation, while simultaneously maintaining a solid balance sheet
structure.

Based on provisional figures (unaudited), AGRANA generated operating
profit before exceptional items and results of equity-accounted joint
ventures in its 2025|26 financial year (1 March 2025 to 28 February 2026)
in an amount of € 81.2 million (prior year: € 76.5 million). Exceptional
items amounted to € -74.1 million (prior year: € -36.4 million) and
include non-cash impairments of assets in the ACS – Sugar segment with a
volume of € 46.0 million. EBIT amounted to € 3.2 million (prior year: €
40.5 million). Consolidated revenue amounted to € 3,237.3 million (prior
year: € 3,514.0 million).

The Management Board regards the provisional forecast for the 2026|27
financial year to be sufficiently reliable in order to provide initial
guidance. For the 2026|27 financial year (1 March 2026 to 28 February
2027), AGRANA forecasts EBIT which is expected to be very significantly
(more than 50%) higher than in the prior year and within a range of € 70
to 90 million. A slight increase (1% to 5%) in consolidated revenue is
forecast.

The EBIT in the first quarter of the 2026|27 financial year is expected to
be an amount very significantly higher than in the prior-year period (Q1
2025|26: € 5.7 million).

The escalation at the end of February 2026 of the conflict in the Middle
East, in addition to the ongoing war in Ukraine, is leading to a further
intensification of the already high volatility in AGRANA’s target markets
and to further price increases in its procurement markets. The resulting
business and financial impacts and the duration of this additional
temporary exceptional situation are as difficult to forecast as those of
the global tariff-policy-related disruptions.

The outlook is based on the assumption that the war in the Middle East is
temporary and remains regionally limited, that the physical supplies of
energy and raw materials are ensured and that the Group’s target markets
and procurement markets do not experience drastic disruptions in the
course of the 2026|27 financial year. AGRANA also expects and assumes that
possible significant purchase price increases, particularly for raw
materials and energy, can be passed on in new customer contracts.

The publication of the Annual Report 2025|26 and all details relating to
the annual results for 2025|26 and the outlook for 2026|27 will take place
as scheduled on 12 May 2026.
