Südzucker announces preliminary figures for fiscal year 2025/26

Südzucker AG generated group revenues of EUR 8.4 billion in financial year 2025/26 (1 March 2025 to 28 February 2026) based on preliminary figures (latest forecast: between EUR 8.3 and 8.7 billion; 2024/25: EUR 9.7 billion). In the same period, group EBITDA amounted to EUR 535 million (latest forecast: between EUR 470 and 570 million; 2024/25: EUR 723 million) and operating profit totaled EUR 163 million (latest forecast: between EUR 100 and 200 million; 2024/25: EUR 350 million). The decline in earnings is primarily attributable to the challenging market environment in the sugar segment. The extraordinary impairment losses announced on 17 February 2026 amounted to EUR 470 million. 

Forecast for the current 2026/27 financial year confirmed
In addition, Südzucker confirms its forecast for the current financial year 2026/27 (1 March 2026 to 28 February 2027) and continues to expect group revenues to be slightly below the 2025/26 level, while projecting group EBITDA in a range between EUR 480 million and EUR 680 million, with the midpoint expected to be moderately above the previous year 2025/26. 

When considering this forecast for the 2026/27 fiscal year, it is important to note that the economic and financial impact of the ongoing tense geopolitical and global economic situation on Südzucker Group's future business performance is difficult to assess. 

The annual report 2025/26, including a detailed forecast for the financial year 2026/27, will be published on 21 May 2026.
