AD-HOC ANNOUNCEMENT
Publication of inside information under article 17 MAR
Vienna, 17 February 2026
Impairment requirement in the ACS – Sugar segment weighs on EBIT of the
AGRANA Group in the 2025|26 financial year
Operating profit forecast above prior-year level
Due to the continuing difficult market environment in the ACS – Sugar
segment, a non-cash impairment loss is expected to be recognised in the
AGRANA Group as part of the indication-based impairment test of assets as
of the balance sheet date. The impairment is forecast to impact the assets
of the ACS – Sugar segment to an extent of between € 45 and € 55 million.
The final amount of the impairment loss will be determined in the course
of preparing AGRANA’s consolidated financial statements for the 2025|26
financial year (balance sheet date: 28 February 2026). The forecast
non-cash impairment will be reported under exceptional items and thus have
a negative impact on the previous guidance for EBIT^1. At Group level,
management had expected EBIT to increase significantly to a range of
around € 45 million to € 60 million for the 2025|26 financial year prior
to the impairment.
The impairment has no impact on operating profit^2, which is forecast to
be between around € 80 million and € 85 million in the 2025|26 financial
year, moderately above the previous year (2024|25: € 76.5 million). It
should be noted that the economic and financial impact of the current
geopolitical and economic situation on the future business performance of
the AGRANA Group remains difficult to assess.
The 2025|26 annual results and the 2025|26 annual report will be published
as scheduled on 12 May 2026.
