Sonova Achieves Robust Growth in FY 2025/26 Amidst Strategic Shifts

Sonova Holding AG, a leader in hearing solutions, reported strong fiscal year 2025/26 results, aligning with their guidance. Group sales reached CHF 3,605.9 million, marking a 5.9% increase in local currencies but a slight 0.2% decline in Swiss francs. The company's wholesale and retail sectors drove a significant 7.5% growth in local currencies, enabling Sonova to surpass the market's performance.

The normalized EBITA rose 17.3% in local currencies to CHF 811.2 million. However, adverse exchange rates affected results in Swiss francs, leading to a 3.7% increase. The reported EBITA was CHF 724.2 million, reflecting a 7.7% rise in local currencies. For 2026/27, Sonova anticipates sales growth of 5-8% and core EBIT growth of 7-10%.

The Board proposes a CHF 4.70 dividend per share, the highest in its history. Strategic shifts include divesting the Consumer Hearing division and implementing a regional operating model, aligning with a robust product pipeline and planned launches in hearing aids and cochlear implants.
