Grenke Achieves 2025 Earnings Target and Expects Further Growth

Grenke AG has reported its 2025 financial results, achieving group earnings of EUR 71.8 million, meeting the lower end of its guidance range. The company proposes a 5% dividend increase to EUR 0.42 per share. The 2025 earnings reflect a turnaround, with a focus on profitability despite macroeconomic challenges.

The growth outlook for 2026 anticipates group earnings between EUR 74 million and EUR 86 million, driven by leasing new business expected to reach EUR 3.4 billion to EUR 3.6 billion. The company's strategy remains centered on achieving a 10% return on equity by 2030.

Operational improvements include a significant enhancement in the cost-income ratio, which improved to 55.2% in 2025. While the loss rate remains elevated at 1.7%, Grenke's disciplined approach to cost management has offset some challenges posed by the economic environment.
