The Annual General Meeting approved all proposed resolutions. These included, among other things, the distribution of a dividend of € 0.83 per dividend-bearing share for the 2025 fiscal year. This represents a 57 % increase over the previous year. The distribution amounts to approximately € 5.7 million and is in line with the Group's consistent dividend policy. On the Supervisory Board, the shareholders re-elected Peter Baumgartner as shareholder representative until the 2028 Annual General Meeting. They also elected Dr. Karine Brand to the Supervisory Board for a term ending at the 2030 Annual General Meeting. She has more than 30 years of international industry experience in thermal management as well as extensive expertise in the strategic leadership of globally active technology companies. Her market and technology knowledge in areas such as medical technology, analytics, electronics, data centres as well as refrigeration, air-conditioning and heating technology specifically strengthen the Supervisory Board's expertise. Ready for Growth: Thermal management as a key technology In their speeches, CEO Michael Finger and CFO Natascha Sander highlighted how technotrans is entering its next phase of growth following a successful transformation. The 2025 financial year marked the successful conclusion of the Future Ready 2025 strategy. With consolidated revenue of € 244.0 million and a significant improvement in the EBIT margin to 7.1 %, technotrans sustainably increased its earnings quality last year. EBIT rose by approximately 40 % to € 17.3 million. ROCE increased to 16.8 %, and free cash flow reached a record high of € 16.6 million. “Our financial results demonstrate that technotrans is growing profitably and with strong capital discipline,” said Natascha Sander.“The significantly improved profitability, reduced net debt, and solid equity ratio of 65.1 % give us the financial strength to consistently implement the next steps in our growth strategy.” Thermal management remains the key growth driver. technotrans benefits from global megatrends such as artificial intelligence, electrification, digitalization, decarbonization, and medical progress. Applications in liquid cooling for data centres, battery thermal management systems for rail vehicles and electric buses, and precision cooling solutions for Healthcare & Analytics are developing particularly dynamically. With its Ready for Growth strategy, technotrans is pursuing clear goals through 2030: Group revenue is set to rise to more than € 350 million, and the EBIT margin to 9 to 12 %. Growth is to be consistently value-adding, scalable, and cash-flow-oriented. To this end, technotrans is making targeted investments in capacity, product platforms, operational excellence, and digitalization - including the new plant in Sassenberg. Solid start to fiscal year 2026: Profitability further strengthened Despite a market environment that remains challenging, the technotrans Group has made a solid start to fiscal year 2026. In the first quarter, consolidated revenue of € 54.9 million was, as expected, below the prior-year level. At the same time, the EBIT margin increased to 7.0 % from 6.7 % in the prior year period. EBIT amounted to € 3.8 million. This marks the sixth consecutive quarter in which technotrans has achieved a stable EBIT margin of around 7 %. Positive signals came in particular from the growth markets: Energy Management benefited from demand for liquid cooling for data centres as well as battery thermal management systems for buses and trains. Healthcare & Analytics also continued on its growth trajectory. At the same time, the order backlog increased to € 84 million. The book-to-bill ratio of 1.1 indicates that technotrans secured more orders than it generated revenue in the first quarter. The Board of Management confirmed its forecast of achieving consolidated revenue of between € 240 million and € 260 million in fiscal year 2026, with an EBIT margin of between 6.5 % and 8.5 %. “Order intake is the future. The strong momentum in our growth markets, our robust profitability, and our strengthened balance sheet show that technotrans is on track,” emphasized Michael Finger.“For us, Ready for Growth means: translating technology into market opportunities, converting market opportunities into orders, scaling orders into profitable growth, and transforming profitable growth into sustainable value.” Further information: About technotrans SE:
