The Uniper Annual General Meeting approved the resolutions on the agenda items by a large majority. Among other things, the actions of the Management Board and Supervisory Board were formally approved, and the 2025 remuneration report was adopted. The voting results will soon be available on Uniper's website at Annual General Meeting 2026 | Uniper Financial targets for 2025 achieved despite geopolitical uncertainties In the 2025 financial year, Uniper met its financial targets despite geopolitical uncertainties, generating Adjusted EBITDA of €1,097 million and Adjusted Net Income of €544 million. As expected, both key figures were significantly below the exceptionally strong results of the previous year. In 2024, Adjusted EBITDA amounted to €2,612 million and Adjusted Net Income to €1,653 million. Resumption of dividend payments: Uniper to pay a dividend of €0.72 per share for the 2025 financial year In recent years, Uniper has made significant progress on its path back to capital market readiness. Key achievements include risk reduction, balance sheet restructuring, and the restoration of a strong financial foundation. In light of this progress and the amendment to the German Energy Security Act (EnSiG) in December 2025, the Management Board and Supervisory Board proposed a dividend distribution of €300 million-equivalent to €0.72 per share-to the Annual General Meeting. The Annual General Meeting approved this proposal. All shareholders will benefit from this-particularly the Federal Republic of Germany as the main shareholder. Supervisory Board election: Annual General Meeting confirms Armin von Falkenhayn as member of the Supervisory Board The Annual General Meeting elected Armin von Falkenhayn to the Supervisory Board. Following the departure of Dr. Marcus Schenck from the Supervisory Board at the end of 2025, Uniper was able to appoint Armin von Falkenhayn as his successor. He has already been a member of the Supervisory Board since the end of February by court appointment and has now been formally confirmed in this role by the Annual General Meeting. Operating business currently demonstrates stability even amid high price volatility With a strong first quarter of 2026, Uniper has laid a solid foundation for the remainder of the year and for achieving its earnings guidance. For the 2026 financial year, Uniper expects Adjusted EBITDA in the range of €1.0 billion to €1.3 billion and Adjusted Net Income between €350 million and €600 million. Uniper is now more resilient to extreme market movements. As a result of consistent risk-reduction measures, its operating business is currently proving stable even amid high price volatility in energy markets following the conflict in the Middle East. Uniper CEO Michael Lewis: "Since 2023, we have consistently laid the groundwork to restore Uniper's capital market viability. The €300 million dividend payout to all shareholders marks an important step in further strengthening Uniper's attractiveness in the capital markets. I welcome the fact that the German Federal Ministry of Finance has initiated the reprivatisation process for Uniper. Our diversified gas and LNG procurement portfolio strengthens security of supply, particularly in the current tense geopolitical environment. We are confident of achieving our earnings guidance for 2026." About Uniper Düsseldorf-based Uniper is a European energy company with global reach.
