V-ZUG Faces Lower Results But Maintains Dividend

V-ZUG Holding AG announced a challenging financial year for 2025, with a 4.1% decline in net sales to CHF 567.4 million, influenced by a difficult market environment and reduced volumes in both Swiss and international project businesses. Despite these results, the Board of Directors proposed maintaining the dividend at CHF 0.90 per share, highlighting the company's solid financial position with a 77.1% equity ratio.

Operating income dropped significantly, with EBIT falling to CHF 11.6 million, a substantial decrease from the previous year's CHF 25.3 million. Meanwhile, net income also declined sharply to CHF 6.8 million. Despite this, V-ZUG has implemented strategic initiatives such as "Simplify" and "Grow" to streamline operations and bolster market presence.

Operational developments include the commissioning of the "Zephyr Ost" vertical factory and site expansion in Rotkreuz, aimed at enhancing productivity and efficiency. Personnel changes in the upper management aim to steer the company back to profitable growth, focusing on international market expansion.
