Drivers of weaker profit

Management cites a weaker financial result (loss of prior-year positive currency effects) and higher tax expense as main causes for the drop in net profit. Operationally, demand weakness in some categories and export softness (notably in the French sub-group early in the year) weighed on results despite pockets of growth.

Positive operational highlights

Outlook

For fiscal 2025/26 management expects slightly higher volumes and revenues and targets an operating result (EBIT) between EUR 30m and EUR 33m. The dividend proposal of EUR 0.60 keeps payout stable and aligns with the stated payout policy.
