• All items on the agenda approved
• CEO Andreas Weishaar presents new TAKKT Forward strategy
• Henk Derksen elected to the Supervisory Board

Stuttgart, Germany, May 21, 2025. TAKKT AG successfully held its Shareholders’ Meeting in virtual format today. The shareholders approved all resolutions proposed by the Management Board and Supervisory Board, thereby also confirming the payment of a dividend of EUR 0.60 per share. The dividend will be distributed on May 26.

In his speech, CEO Andreas Weishaar gave a comprehensive overview of the challenges and progress made in the past year as well as the Group's strategic goals. The speech focused on the new “TAKKT Forward” strategy with its three aspects of Focus, Growth, and Performance. “We are refocusing our business more strongly on the requirements of large corporate customers with complex procurement needs, which we can optimally meet with our omnichannel approach,” said Weishaar, explaining the Group's growth strategy. In addition to broadening and simplifying the product range, the expansion of the sustainable product range plays an important role as a competitive differentiator. TAKKT is also working on comprehensive measures to improve performance in terms of profitability and cash generation. Important aspects include a leaner structure and greater use of automation and artificial intelligence.

Weishaar welcomed the recently announced agreement in the trade dispute between the US and China and the at least temporary reduction in tariffs. TAKKT confirmed its outlook for the full year at the end of April. By implementing the new strategy and the associated growth and performance initiatives, the group expects to return to positive growth rates and an increase in profitability in the further course of the year. “However, we are currently seeing that our customers are very cautious due to the high level of uncertainty surrounding projects and larger orders. The chances of further stabilization in the second quarter are therefore limited,” said Weishaar.

The Shareholders’ Meeting also elected Henk Derksen to the Supervisory Board. Derksen is very familiar with the company through his work as CFO at TAKKT's majority shareholder Haniel. As announced, Dr. Johannes Haupt resigned from his position on the Supervisory Board at the Shareholders’ Meeting. Supervisory Board Chairman Hubertus Mühlhäuser thanked Dr. Haupt for his many years of dedicated service on the board and for his excellent cooperation.
