EQS-Adhoc: Verbio SE: Preliminary EBITDA for FY 2025/2026 exceeds forecast

Preliminary EBITDA for FY 2025/2026 exceeds forecast

Leipzig, August 3, 2026 – Based on preliminary financial figures that have not yet been audited by the independent auditor, the Management Board expects earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) for the financial year 2025/2026 to amount to approximately EUR 192 million. The preliminary EBITDA therefore exceeds the Management Board's previous guidance range of EUR 160 million to EUR 180 million. This positive development is primarily attributable to the improved CO2 efficiency of Verbio's biofuels and higher-than-expected selling prices.

Net debt amounted to approximately EUR 92 million as of June 30, 2026 and was therefore below the expected maximum level of EUR 140 million.

The financial results for the financial year 2025/2026 will be published in the Annual Report for the year ended June 30, 2026 on September 24, 2026.
