Ringmetall SE (ISIN: DE000A3E5E55), a leading international specialist supplier in the packaging industry, held its Annual General Meeting in virtual form in Munich on June 16th. At the time of the vote, 75.94 percent of the company's share capital of EUR 29,069,040.00 was represented, up from 70.7 percent in the previous year.
Against the backdrop of a persistently challenging economic environment, the company increased its consolidated revenue by 7.3 percent to EUR 187.7 million in the 2025 financial year, mainly due to acquisitions made in the previous year and during the financial year. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) stood at EUR 23.0 million, 3.1 percent below the prior year's EUR 23.7 million, reflecting a one-off effect from the previous year, a weak US dollar, and subdued bag-in-box business.
Due to the overall solid development, the Annual General Meeting voted in favor of a dividend payment of EUR 0.10 per outstanding share, unchanged from the previous year. In addition to regular agenda items, shareholders approved the creation of new authorized capital for 2026 for cash and non-cash capital increases with the option of excluding subscription rights, while abolishing the existing authorized capitals from 2018 and 2021 and amending the Articles of Association accordingly.
Agenda items received high approval rates: Agenda item 2 (99.90 percent), item 3a (98.29 percent), item 3b (97.80 percent), item 4 (98.61 percent), item 5 (99.90 percent), item 6 (92.07 percent), and item 7 (95.23 percent).
"2025 was a year of significant strategic steps for us, especially in the Liner business unit, which we have significantly strengthened through several acquisitions," said Christoph Petri, CEO of Ringmetall SE. "We will continue on this path in 2026. Even though the market environment remains challenging, we remain confident about the further development."
