Munich, July 3, 2026 – The Annual General Meeting of Mutares SE & Co. KGaA (ISIN: DE000A2NB650) today approved the distribution of a dividend of EUR 2.00 per share for the fiscal year 2025. In addition, the Annual General Meeting granted discharge to the general partner, Mutares Management SE, the Supervisory Board and the Shareholders’ Committee for the fiscal year 2025 by a clear majority. All other resolutions proposed by the Management were approved by the shareholders by a large majority.
Johannes Laumann (CIO) and Mark Friedrich (CFO) led through the Annual General Meeting. Their presentation focused on the report for the fiscal year 2025, the successfully implemented capital increase, the exceptional momentum on both the buy and sell sides, the accelerated international expansion, and the development of new growth platforms for future value creation.
Largest exit pipeline in the Company’s history opens significant potential for value realization
The high level of maturity of the Mutares portfolio forms the basis for an exceptionally extensive realization of value in the fiscal year 2026. With the completed sales or partial sales of Kalzip, WIJ Special Media, inTime Group, Relobus, Peugeot Motocycles, Terranor and the Benelux business of F.lli Ferrari, Mutares has already completed many exits.
The most significant exit to date in the fiscal year 2026 is the signed sale of the NEM Energy Group, a global specialist in heat transfer technologies, to Hyundai Heavy Industries Power Systems (HPS), a global energy plant manufacturer. The transaction is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2026. Following a carve-out from Siemens Energy in December 2022, NEM Energy was developed into an independent and profitable platform in less than four years. Furthermore, Mutares has received an irrevocable offer from Reed Capital to acquire Walor Precision Turning, a leading supplier of high-precision turned metal components for passive safety systems in the automotive industry, which operates within the FerrAl United Group. The transaction is also expected to be completed in the third quarter, subject to the approval of employee representatives and other customary closing conditions. Thanks to the extensive expansion of its portfolio in recent years, Mutares now has a very large exit pipeline.
Forecast and medium-term targets confirmed
The Management Board confirmed the forecast for the fiscal year 2026, with expected Group revenues of between EUR 7.9 billion and EUR 9.1 billion, and a net income for Mutares Holding of between EUR 165 million and EUR 200 million. The medium-term growth targets announced for the fiscal year 2030 – at least 25% per year for Group revenues and the Holding net income – were also reaffirmed.
Johannes Laumann, CIO of Mutares: “With the successful completion of the capital increase, the largest exit pipeline in our Company’s history and the establishment of the new Chemicals & Materials segment, we have laid the foundations to usher in the next phase of growth for Mutares. At the same time, we have numerous concrete opportunities to realize value within our portfolio and consider ourselves excellently positioned to achieve our ambitious targets for the current fiscal year 2026 and beyond.”
