KWS SAAT AG Reports Strong Year and Foundation for Growth
KWS SAAT AG concludes the fiscal year 2024/2025 with a mixed financial performance. Net sales decreased by 3% to €1.63 billion, affected by reduced acreage for key crops such as sugarbeet and corn. However, the company maintained an EBITDA margin of 21.1% due to rigorous cost management, with earnings per share increasing by 13.1% to €4.80.
The company continued its reliable dividend policy, proposing an increase to €1.30 per share, maintaining a payout ratio within the targeted range. KWS made significant strides in solidifying its market position and in securing over 500 new variety approvals worldwide.
Looking ahead, KWS forecasts a return to organic net sales growth of around 3% for fiscal year 2026/2027, assuming agricultural markets recover. The company aims for an EBITDA margin between 19% and 20%, aligning with medium-term objectives.
