Katjes International reports record revenue and earnings

• Group revenue increases to EUR 503.0 million (previous year: EUR 392.6
million)
• Operating profit (EBITDA) rises to EUR 98.8 million (previous year: EUR 44.8
million)
• Expansion of brand portfolio through the acquisition of Bogner as of September
1, 2025

Emmerich, April 2, 2026 – Katjes International published its consolidated
financial statements for 2025 today, reporting a very strong performance for the
financial year and significantly exceeding its guidance for revenue and EBITDA
margin. Group revenue increased to EUR 503.0 million (previous year: EUR 392.6
million; +28.1%). Growth was driven by both the positive performance of the
existing portfolio and targeted acquisitions, underscoring the scalability of
the business model as a European brand holding company.

EBITDA increased significantly to EUR 98.8 million (previous year: EUR 44.8
million). The EBITDA margin of just under 20% was well above the forecast range
of 9% to 10%.

With the acquisition of a 60% stake in Willy Bogner GmbH at the beginning of
September 2025, Katjes International strategically expanded its portfolio to
include another strong and internationally established brand. The transaction
was financed, inter alia, through an increase of the existing bond by EUR 70
million, which was three times oversubscribed, reflecting strong investor
demand.

Additional liquidity was generated through the sale of the 23% stake in CPK. The
transaction resulted in a cash inflow of more than EUR 80 million in the fourth
quarter as well as an extraordinary earnings contribution of approximately EUR
20 million. While Katjes International is generally focused on the long-term
development of majority shareholdings and typically does not dispose of them,
the sale of a minority stake confirms the active management of the portfolio and
the successful realization of value creation.

Equity increased to EUR 266.9 million, corresponding to an equity ratio of 33%.

Katjes International continues to pursue its growth strategy in 2026: in
February 2026, its subsidiary Future Snacks Ltd. acquired 100% of the British
brand Graze from Unilever. In addition, in March 2026, the acquisition of
approximately 27% in the iconic brand Missoni was agreed, with closing expected
in the second quarter of 2026.

For the financial year 2026, Katjes International expects group revenues of more
than EUR 650 million and an EBITDA margin in the range of 10% to 12%.
