VERBIO Exhibits Strong Financial Recovery in FY25/26

VERBIO Vereinigte BioEnergie AG has reported a significant financial turnaround for FY25/26. The company's Q4 EBITDA reached €88.2 million compared to a loss of €8.2 million in the previous year. The Bioethanol/Biomethane division was instrumental, contributing €55 million in EBITDA, mainly due to favorable European ethanol spreads and increased GHG quota prices. Biodiesel EBITDA also rose by 58% year-on-year.

Looking ahead, VERBIO forecasts an EBITDA between €210–250 million for FY26/27, a projected growth of 8–29%. The company anticipates growth driven by higher US production and increased biomethane volumes, although a minor decline in Biodiesel earnings and lower European ethanol spreads may offset gains.

VERBIO's return to dividend payments highlights strong cash flow recovery, with operating cash flow at €165 million and free cash flow at €78 million in FY25/26. Net financial debt has decreased significantly, enabling a proposed dividend reinstatement of €0.20 per share. Future growth potential is also supported by projects like the US Section 45Z tax credits and CO₂ capture facility expansions.
