Ringmetall SE (ISIN: DE000A3E5E55), a leading international specialist supplier in the packaging industry, held its Annual General Meeting virtually in Munich on June 16th. The meeting saw high approval rates for all agenda items, with 75.94 percent of the company's share capital of EUR 29,069,040.00 represented, up from 70.7 percent in the previous year.
Despite a persistently challenging economic environment, the company reported a 7.3 percent increase in consolidated revenue to EUR 187.7 million for the 2025 financial year, driven primarily by acquisitions made in the previous year and during the financial year. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) reached EUR 23.0 million, a 3.1 percent decrease from EUR 23.7 million in the prior year, reflecting a one-off effect from the previous year, a weak US dollar, and subdued bag-in-box business.
Given the overall solid development, the Annual General Meeting approved a dividend payment of EUR 0.10 per outstanding share, unchanged from the previous year. The meeting also voted on the creation of new authorized capital in 2026 for cash and non-cash capital increases, with the option to exclude subscription rights. Concurrently, the existing authorized capitals for 2018 and 2021 were abolished, and the Articles of Association were amended accordingly.
Detailed voting results showed high approval percentages: Agenda item 2 (appropriation of retained profit) received 99.90 percent approval; Agenda item 3a (discharge of Management Board) 98.29 percent; Agenda item 3b (discharge of Supervisory Board) 97.80 percent; Agenda item 4 (election of auditor) 98.61 percent; Agenda item 5 (approval of remuneration report) 99.90 percent; Agenda item 6 (creation of new authorized capital) 92.07 percent; and Agenda item 7 (amendment of Articles of Association) 95.23 percent.
Christoph Petri, CEO of Ringmetall SE, commented, "2025 was a year of significant strategic steps for us, especially in the Liner business unit, which we have significantly strengthened through several acquisitions. We will continue on this path in 2026. Even though the market environment remains challenging, we remain confident about the further development."
