Leifheit AG Announces Dividend Proposal and Financial Outlook for 2026

Leifheit Aktiengesellschaft, based in Nassau, Germany, has approved a dividend proposal for the financial year 2025 alongside its forecast for 2026. The proposed dividend is set at €1.20 per eligible share, consisting of a base dividend of €0.50 and a special dividend of €0.70. This reflects Leifheit's strategy to share 75% of net profits or free cash flow with shareholders, attributing the additional special dividend to the company's strong liquidity position.

For 2026, Leifheit anticipates slight turnover growth, maintaining earnings at the prior year's level. With a challenging global economic environment, exacerbated by Middle East tensions affecting costs, Leifheit plans to focus on marketing and innovation to bolster brand presence and foster growth. Cost reduction and efficiency measures are expected to fund these initiatives, although first-quarter EBIT may enter negative figures.
