NORMA Group Plans Shareholder Payout and Meeting Changes Following Business Unit Sale

NORMA Group SE has announced plans to return up to EUR 260 million from the sale of its Water Management unit to shareholders. The company's management, with supervisory approval, will utilize existing authorization to acquire treasury shares. Details will be shared once finalized. Additionally, a proposal for a capital reduction via share redemption will be made at the Annual General Meeting, originally scheduled for May 21, 2026. This meeting might be postponed if preparations are not completed on time.

The company also noted a EUR 102 million impairment for investments in the EMEA region, stemming from revised revenue forecasts for 2028-2030. Despite this, NORMA Group confirms its 2025 forecasts for sales and margin remain unchanged. The impairment adjustment does not affect the operating EBIT in the consolidated financial statements or the planned capital return to shareholders.
