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.
