• Dividend of € 0.53 per share approved
• Karin Sonnenmoser elected to the Supervisory Board as new shareholder representative
• Board of Management confirms guidance for the 2025 financial year
Today, the Annual General Meeting of technotrans SE resolved to distribute a dividend of € 0.53 per share. Shareholders also elected Karin Sonnenmoser as a new shareholder representative to the Supervisory Board and endorsed the remuneration systems for both the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board. In their speeches, the members of the Board of Management emphasised the Group’s excellent prospects and resilience. The key driver is the efficiency programme ttSprint, which has made technotrans more agile, customer-focused and crisis-resistant by introducing a new market-oriented organisational structure. This resilience is already evident in the strong start to the new 2025 financial year: in Q1, technotrans generated consolidated revenue of € 60 million with an EBIT margin of 6.7 %. The Board of Management therefore reaffirmed its guidance for 2025 of consolidated revenue between € 245 million and € 265 million and an EBIT margin of 7 to 9 %.
“Last year’s transformation has laid the foundations for sustainable, profitable growth and made us more resilient and future-ready,” said Michael Finger, CEO of technotrans SE, during the event.
Annual General Meeting approves all agenda items
The Shareholders approved every agenda item, including the dividend of € 0.53 per share. They also endorsed the remuneration report for the 2024 financial year and the remuneration systems for the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board for the next four years. In addition, Karin Sonnenmoser was elected to the Supervisory Board as a new shareholder representative. She holds a degree in Business Administration from the University of Augsburg and an MBA from the University of Dayton, Ohio, USA. With many years of management experience, she also serves on the Supervisory Board of Renk Group AG.
Future-ready through transformation
In their speeches, CEO Michael Finger and CFO Natascha Sander explained how the consistent transformation of the technotrans Group is creating value: despite the challenging economic environment, profitability improved steadily over the course of 2024, culminating in an adjusted EBIT margin of 8.7 % in Q4. Although consolidated revenue declined in 2024 due to the economic climate, the EBIT margin reached 6 % after adjustment for temporary expenses for severance payments and the reorganisation. The first benefits of the successfully implemented ttSprint programme, the new market-oriented organisation, growing technological expertise and the strict focus on high-growth markets – especially Energy Management – are now visible. With liquid cooling for data centres and battery thermal-management systems for e-buses and trains, technotrans delivers crucial solutions for global megatrends such as artificial intelligence and decarbonisation. On sustainability, the Board reported progress in CO₂ reduction and technological innovations using natural refrigerants.
Strong Q1 2025 – guidance confirmed
The technotrans Group has made a dynamic start to 2025. In Q1, the company recorded consolidated revenue of € 60.1 million and increased EBIT ten-fold year on year to € 4.0 million, equating to an EBIT margin of 6.7 %. Against this backdrop, the Board of Management confirmed its full-year guidance of consolidated revenue between € 245 million and € 265 million with an EBIT margin of 7 to 9 %.
“We would like to thank our employees for their extraordinary commitment and their willingness to embrace transformation. Together, we will continue on our path of profitable growth,” stressed Michael Finger.
