Free cash flow (excl. acquisitions) DKK 1,413m. CAPEX DKK 1,007m (~6–6.4% of revenue). Share buy‑backs of DKK 550m executed in 2025; proposed ordinary dividend DKK 16.0 per share. Dividend payout ratio ~51%.

Segment & strategic progress
Northern Europe remains the core market (largest share of revenue). Western Europe and International showed positive developments. Continued focus on operational efficiencies, SAP S/4HANA rollouts and integration actions (e.g., consolidation in Norway) to support margins and ROIC.
Sustainability and operational efficiency (financial relevance)
Operational efficiency and sustainability contributed to margin expansion: scope 1–3 (SBTi, market‑based) emissions down to 465 mkgCO2e (~‑10% YoY), CSD revenue with no/low sugar increased to 68%, water usage declined ~4%, and lost‑time incident frequency improved materially. The company reiterates a 2030 supply‑chain CO2 reduction ambition (‑60%) which is expected to reduce future cost and reputational risks.
