flatexDEGIRO Announces Major Dividend Increase and Exceeds 2025 Financial Targets

flatexDEGIRO SE has announced a new capital allocation policy that includes a planned sevenfold increase in its annual dividend distribution, alongside preliminary financial results for 2025 that slightly exceeded previous guidance. Based on unaudited figures, revenues for fiscal year 2025 increased by approximately 17% to around €560 million, while net income rose by about 44% to approximately €160 million. These figures represent performance at or above the upper end of the company's earlier projections, which had been raised twice during the year.

The new capital allocation strategy establishes a framework for regular dividend distributions set at 20% of net income. For 2025, this would translate to a dividend of about €0.30 per share, compared to €0.04 per share in previous years. Based on the company's closing share price of €33.20 on February 17, 2026, this results in a dividend yield of just under 1%. The policy is expected to be implemented through a proposal at the Annual General Meeting scheduled for June 2, 2026. Further details about the company's performance and strategy are available at https://www.flatexdegiro.com.

Looking ahead to 2026, flatexDEGIRO anticipates further profitable growth, with revenues projected to increase by 5% to 10% and net income expected to grow by 5% to 15%. Both the flatex and DEGIRO brands are forecasted to achieve organic customer growth across all key markets. The company plans to expand recently introduced products and services, including crypto trading and securities lending, which are expected to drive higher revenues and net income. Additionally, flatexDEGIRO aims to significantly expand its savings plan offerings, enhance personal customer service, and launch competitive pension products in Germany in anticipation of expected pension reforms.

Oliver Behrens, CEO of flatexDEGIRO SE, stated that the expanded dividend policy represents a new chapter combining sustainable growth with reliable shareholder returns. He emphasized that the strong operating performance in 2025 demonstrates the effectiveness of the company's strategy, while ongoing investments in technology, user experience, and product expansion aim to solidify its position as Europe's leading platform for building wealth. Beyond dividend payments, the capital allocation policy prioritizes driving organic growth in existing and new product areas, with retained earnings enabling potential consolidation steps, growth acquisitions, and opportunistic share buybacks.
