Deutsche Börse Group Achieves Record Results in Financial Year 2025

Deutsche Börse Group has just published its preliminary financial results for 2025. Please scroll down for the link to the entire report.

Overview of the results:

• Highest net revenue, EBITDA, net income, and earnings per share in the company's history – annual forecast fully met despite cyclical headwinds.
• Due to strong operational growth, net revenue without treasury result, an important indicator for the Group, rose by 9 percent to €5.2 billion in financial year 2025, as expected.
• Operating costs, in contrast, rose by only 3 percent thanks to effective cost management.
• EBITDA without treasury result rose disproportionately by 14 percent to €2.7 billion.
• The Executive Board is proposing a 5 percent increase in the dividend to €4.20 per share for financial year 2025. In addition, a share buyback program with a volume of €500 million has already been announced and will start shortly.
• For the financial year 2026, the Group expects net revenue without treasury result to increase to around €5.7 billion and EBITDA without treasury result to around €3.1 billion.

Stephan Leithner, Chief Executive Officer of Deutsche Börse Group, comments on the results as follows: “In the past financial year, we have impressively demonstrated the strength and resilience of our diversified business portfolio. Strong secular growth more than offset the headwinds from the interest rate environment, low volatility, and currency effects. I would like to express my special thanks to our employees, who have contributed significantly to this success with their high level of commitment.”

Jens Schulte, Chief Financial Officer of Deutsche Börse Group, adds: “At the same time, we managed our costs very effectively, resulting in a significantly disproportionate increase in our operating profit. Our shareholders will benefit directly from this positive development: the total distribution, including share buybacks, will exceed last year's level and rise to a new record of €1.3 billion.”

On the outlook, Stephan Leithner says: “The 2025 result is an excellent starting point for our ‘Leading the Transformation’ strategy. In this environment, which is characterized by fundamental changes both geopolitically and technologically, we are the reliable and innovative partner for critical financial infrastructure in Europe and across the globe. The secular growth drivers in our businesses remain fully intact. We therefore look ahead to the current financial year with confidence and expect to achieve our operating targets for 2026.”
