Berentzen-Gruppe Aktiengesellschaft (ISIN: DE0005201602), listed on the Regulated Market (General Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, published its annual report for the 2025 fiscal year. In it, the group confirms its preliminary financial results, which were announced on February 11, 2026.
“We continued to operate profitably in the 2025 fiscal year. We are pleased that, based on consolidated EBIT of €8.5 million, we were able to achieve a very good consolidated net income of €2.4 million,” said Oliver Schwegmann, CEO of the Berentzen Group. Against this backdrop, the Executive Board, together with the Supervisory Board, will propose the payment of a dividend of €0.11 per share at the Annual General Meeting on May 7, 2026. In addition, the Group once again succeeded in generating positive free cash flow. This amounted to €5.1 million in fiscal year 2025. “Both key figures—consolidated net income and free cash flow—are significantly higher than in the previous year. They clearly demonstrate that the Berentzen Group remains successful and resilient even in challenging times,” explains Schwegmann, adding: “We see many products within our broad portfolio that have shown positive growth momentum. These include, for example, our Berentzen Minis, our premium private-label concepts, the new Citrocasa XPro appliances, and the Mio Mio can, which was successfully launched last year.”
Outlook for Fiscal Year 2026
With the 2025 Annual Report, the Berentzen Group also announced its forecast for the current fiscal year 2026. Accordingly, the Group expects consolidated revenue to range between €163.0 million and €173.0 million. Consolidated EBIT is expected to be between €7.0 million and €9.0 million, and consolidated EBITDA between €16.1 million and €18.1 million. “The 2026 fiscal year will be of crucial importance for the Berentzen Group’s strategic direction within our new corporate strategy, BERENTZEN EVOLVE 2030, and in this sense will also mark a transitional year of transformation,” said Schwegmann. The first milestones of the new strategy, which was unveiled last November, have already been achieved. “Last week, we announced our entry into the dynamically growing market for functional beverages with the acquisition of the Juma brand. In addition, we launched the first limited edition of Mio Mio in early March, as well as a sugar-free version of our popular Mio Mio Mate Ginger in bottles and cans. We have also taken important steps toward the further internationalization of our business activities. We will soon be presenting our Puschkin brand in a completely new light, thereby restoring the necessary relevance for the target audience,” says Schwegmann, concluding: “By further developing our portfolio, modernizing our brands, and expanding our national and international presence, we are laying the foundation for the next phase of our company’s history.”
