Brenntag SE Proposes Dividend of EUR 1.90 Per Share for FY 2025

Brenntag SE's Board of Management and Supervisory Board plan to propose a dividend of EUR 1.90 per share for the fiscal year 2025 at the upcoming AGM. This figure slightly falls below the consensus expectation of EUR 1.95. However, it exceeds the company's standard policy payout ratio of 35-50% of consolidated profit after tax.

The Board justifies this decision considering non-cash impairments and other special items totaling EUR 248 million. Preliminary results reveal a profit after tax of EUR 265 million for FY 2025. Key financial metrics, such as an Operating EBITA of EUR 929 million and a free cash flow increase of 5.4%, reaching EUR 941 million, support this proposal.

The official Annual Report will be released on March 12, 2026. Brenntag has noted that various factors might affect future financial outcomes, as outlined in their reports.
