AD-HOC ANNOUNCEMENT
Publication of inside information under article 17 MAR
Vienna, 10 September 2025
AGRANA now expects significant EBIT increase in 2025|26 financial year
EBIT decline in the second quarter of 2025|26 less sharp than expected
Group operating profit (EBIT)^1 of AGRANA-Beteiligungs-AG in the second
quarter of 2025|26 (1 June to 31 August 2025) was, at around € 22 million,
higher than anticipated (Q2 2024|25: € 24.3 million) – a very significant
decline in EBIT (by more than 50%) had originally been forecast.
In the first half of 2025|26 (1 March to 31 August 2025), AGRANA generated
an EBIT^1 of around € 28 million (H1 2024|25: € 56.6 million). Group
revenue amounted to around € 1,692 million (H1 2024|25: € 1,861.7
million).
To date, the AGRANA Group had expected stable EBIT^1 development for the
2025|26 financial year (EBIT 2024|25: € 40.5 million). However, as
earnings in the second quarter were much better than what had been
originally forecast due to the consistently positive development of
business in the Food & Beverage Solutions (FBS) segment, a significant
increase in EBIT^1 (between +10% and +50%) is now expected for the 2025|26
financial year. The outlook for the Agricultural Commodities &
Specialities business area (Starch segment and Sugar segment) remains
unfavourable.
When it comes to the forecast for the 2025|26 financial year, it is
generally important to remember that the economic and financial impact of
the current geopolitical and global economic situation on the future
business performance of the AGRANA Group remains very difficult to assess.
Further details relating to the development of business in the first half
of 2025|26 and the various segments will be published by the Group as
scheduled on 9 October 2025.
