Bietigheim-Bissingen, May 22, 2026 - At today's annual general meeting, the shareholders of Dürr AG approved a dividend of €0.80 per share for the 2025 fiscal year. This represents an increase of around 14% compared to the previous year. All other proposed resolutions on the agenda were also approved.
The resolution to pay a dividend of €0.80 per share (2024: €0.70 per share) results in a total payout of €55.4 million. The payout reflects the improvement in operating earnings in the 2025 fiscal year, in which the Dürr Group was able to increase its EBIT margin before extraordinary effects from 4.6% to 5.6%. The payout, however, does not reflect the book profit of €227.4 million from the sale of the environmental technology business, which was completed at the end of October 2025. This extraordinary income was used to reduce net financial debt and thereby strengthen the balance sheet.
Dr. Jochen Weyrauch, CEO of Dürr AG, commented: "We achieved a significant increase in operating earnings in a challenging market environment, which underscores the Dürr Group's earnings resilience. Recent cost reductions and efficiency gains also contributed to this result. We want our shareholders to participate in this success."
Despite the volatile economic conditions, the CEO believes that the Dürr Group is well positioned for the future: "We provide technologies and products that help our customers become independent of fossil fuels and high energy prices. At the same time, the Group has a strong balance sheet, around 18,000 outstanding employees, and is systematically improving its competitiveness. All of this puts us in an excellent position to shape the coming years successfully and create value for our customers and shareholders."
At the time the resolutions were adopted at the annual general meeting, approximately 72% of the company's registered share capital was represented. In addition to the broad approval of the dividend proposal, all other agenda items were also adopted by a large majority at the annual general meeting. These included the ratification of the acts of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board, the appointment of the auditor, and the approval of the remuneration report.
At the conclusion of this year's annual general meeting, employee representatives Carmen Hettich-Günther, Astrid Ziegler, and Hayo Raich stepped down from the Supervisory Board of Dürr AG. Supervisory Board Chairman Gerhard Federer thanked them for their many years of service. Simona Braun and Axel Riedl were newly appointed to the Supervisory Board.
