Zumtobel Group AG: AD HOC: DEVIATION FROM DIVIDEND POLICY – NO DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION FOR THE 2025/26 FINANCIAL YEAR

Dornbirn (pta037/01.07.2026/18:45 UTC+2)

At its meeting today, the Management Board of Zumtobel Group AG resolved to propose to the Annual General Meeting that no dividend be distributed to shareholders for the 2025/26 financial year. The Company is therefore deviating from its previous dividend policy.

Business performance
In the 2025/26 financial year, Group revenue decreased by 5.2% to EUR 1,040.4 million (2024/25: EUR 1,097.2 million). Adjusted Group EBIT declined from EUR 46.9 million to EUR 42.4 million in 2025/26, with an adjusted EBIT margin of 4.1% (2024/25: 4.3%). After taking account of special effects, Group EBIT fell to EUR 23.1 million (2024/25: EUR 33.0 million), corresponding to an EBIT margin of 2.2% (2024/25: 3.0%). Profit before tax amounted to EUR 10.7 million in the reporting period (2024/25: EUR 16.1 million).

Impact of income taxes
Net profit was significantly affected by considerably higher income taxes compared with the previous year, amounting to EUR –9.7 million (2024/25: EUR –0.6 million). These are primarily attributable to impairments of deferred tax assets in the USA, the United Kingdom and Austria, supplemented by one-off effects. Overall, these factors resulted in a net profit of around EUR 1 million (2024/25: EUR 15.5 million).

Decision of the Management Board
Against the background of this result, the Management Board decided to recommend to the Supervisory Board that no dividend be distributed for the 2025/26 financial year.

The Management Board expects a return to the established dividend policy in the coming financial year.
