The Fielmann Group, which offers glasses and hearing aids, achieved a record surplus in the 2025 financial year. This rose by almost a third to 205 million euros, the family-run company from Hamburg announced on Thursday based on preliminary figures. Shareholders should receive a higher dividend of 1.40 euros per share, a good fifth more than in the previous year. The share was up 2.5 percent at midday.
Sales grew by 7.4 percent compared to the previous year to a provisional 2.4 billion euros – and thus weaker than in the two previous years, as it was said. Domestic sales growth for the international company was below average at 4 percent. Fielmann complains about weak consumer sentiment.
In the USA, where Fielmann has made acquisitions in recent years with SVS Vision and Shopko Optical, the MDax company increased sales significantly – by 46 percent. The development is not explained in more detail in the statement.
The adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of the group, which employs more than 24,000 people, was provisionally at 581 million euros. This corresponds to an increase of 18.2 percent.
The company will publish the outlook for 2026 and the annual report on April 30th.
