Heidelberg Materials plans overproportional high dividend increase of 9% to €3.60 per share
Heidelberg Materials intends to significantly increase its dividend this year as well. The Managing Board and Supervisory Board will propose to the Annual General Meeting on 13 May to distribute a dividend of €3.60 per share for the 2025 financial year. Subject to the approval of the shareholders, this corresponds to an increase of €0.30 per share or 9% compared with the previous year’s dividend of €3.30 per share.
Following a very good financial year, Heidelberg Materials is continuing its progressive dividend policy and increasing the payout to shareholders overproportionally in relation to the rise in adjusted profit for the financial year. The company’s strong focus on shareholder returns is also reflected in the share buyback programme already launched in February 2024 with a total amount of up to €1.2 billion by the end of 2026. Within the second of a total of three tranches, shares at a total value of about €400 million were already acquired between June and the end of November 2025 and cancelled in January 2026. The third tranche of around €450 million is planned to start immediately after the Annual General Meeting and will once again increase the return to shareholders by 10% compared with the previous year.
Annual and Sustainability Report for the 2025 financial year published
In its Annual and Sustainability Report 2025, Heidelberg Materials meets additional international reporting standards and thus significantly raises the level of transparency. For the first time, the company has reported voluntarily in compliance with the requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
Heidelberg Materials has also further expanded its climate reporting by incorporating the international sustainability-related financial disclosures IFRS S1 and S2. The underlying recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) focus on the opportunities and risks that climate change presents for the company. In addition, Heidelberg Materials is reporting for the first time in accordance with the framework of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), which revolves around managing nature- and biodiversity-related risks as well as their financial impacts.
