Latest news: Sale of Commercial Online-Print business segment

CEWE divests Commercial Online-Print business segment





Rationale of the Transaction

Focus - Profitability - Value & Growth

Focus

With this transaction, CEWE is

strengthening its position as the leading provider of premium photofinishing products.

CEWE consistently focuses its capital and management resources on growing its core Photofinishing business-both organically and through additional acquisitions planned for the future.

Profitability

On a pro forma basis, the CEWE

Group's margin quality improves: Excluding commercial online printing, the Group's EBIT margin for 2025 would be approximately 11.2% instead of 10.2%.

Excluding the Commercial Online-Print segment, the Group's return on capital employed (ROCE) is expected to increase by 2 percentage points to 19.6% (instead of 17.6%) on a pro forma basis in 2025.

Value & Growth

The cash inflow from the transaction

is to be used in a value-oriented

manner.

A strategic priority is the further development of the FF business, particularly through investments in technology, efficiency, and brand strength, as well as through selective, value-enhancing acquisitions.

The continuation of the share buyback program and a reliable dividend payout remain assured.























  • All 544 employees will be taken over by the new owner, Cimpress.

  • Commercial Online-Print will become part of the global market leader Cimpress, thereby gaining the right owner in a consolidating market. With additional production volumes, Cimpress will be able to fully leverage the efficiency and scalability strengths of the technologically outstanding SAXOPRINT production site in Dresden.

The Best-Owner Principle for Commercial Online-Print Transaction details
  • The closing of the transaction is subject to the typical closing conditions, in particular regulatory and antitrust approvals, and is expected to take place during the second half of 2026.

  • The parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase

    price.

  • Upon completion of the transaction, CEWE Stiftung & Co. KGaA will receive a cash inflow that exceeds the current book value of the Commercial Online Printing division.

  • After accounting for the disposal of assets and liabilities allocated to this business segment, including goodwill, CEWE Stiftung & Co. KGaA expects to generate a gain from the sale of the discontinued business segment in the mid-double-digit million-euro range.

New Targets 2026 without Commercial Online-Print (COP)

1 The number of photos is the sum of the images with which CEWE photo products were designed and refers to all images that are used in value-added (CEWE PHOTOBOOK, calendars, wall art, greeting cards, etc.)

2 Outflows from investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, netted against inflows from the sale of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets; without acquisitions/company acquisitions

3 Without subsequent valuations of equity instruments

4 Based on the normalized group tax rate of the previous year

The ranges of these targets for 2026 reflect the uncertainties that currently arise, for example, from possible developments in demand behavior, from price increases/inflation on the cost of sales and cost side and their potential impact on CEWE's business performance.

EBIT for the Photofinishing segment reached €5.1 million in the first quarter (Q1 2025: €5.6 million), while still fully absorbing approximately €0.3 million in additional expenses resulting from the business model adjustment at DeinDesign, as well as the full impact of the increase in personnel costs from the tariff adjustment (€2.1 million), since this adjustment will not recur until the second half of 2026 and will accordingly increase personnel costs in the prior-year comparison base from that point onward. In addition, the result includes approximately €1.0 million in additional marketing expenses, the vast majority of which was "invested" in high-growth international markets.

The hardware retail business remains well positioned and records revenue of €6.4m, slightly below the prior year as planned (Q1 2025: €6.7m; -3.7%). By focusing on higher-margin photo hardware, CEWE Retail deliberately foregoes comparatively lower-margin sales.

» The Photofinishing business segment drives the increase in revenue (+€2.5m; +1.7%)

» Other capitalised own work includes self-manufactured CEWE photo stations

» Other operating income increases mainly due to higher income from recyclable residual materials generated in the production processes of the Photofinishing and Commercial Online-Print segments

» Other operating expenses increase mainly due to higher marketing expenses, higher shipping and logistics costs, and higher IT licence costs

» Depreciation and amortisation of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment increase in line with the rise in property, plant and equipment (mainly land and buildings as well as technical equipment)
