ARYZTA AG Ad-hoc Release 2026 ARYZTA AG Ad Hoc announcement pursuant to article 53 LR Full year 2025 targets achieved Revenue growth & improved performance expected in 2026 New €40m bun bakery in Portugal Schlieren/Switzerland, 22 January 2026 ARYZTA announces that it has achieved or exceeded its guidance targets for the financial year 2025 and expects to deliver revenue growth and further improvements in business performance in 2026. For 2025 ARYZTA expects to report low to mid-single digit organic growth, EBITDA above €305m and free cash flow in the range of €115-€120m. ARYZTA confirms its 2025 financing costs (incl. lease interest) will be in the range of €42-44m, significantly below guidance reflecting disciplined capital management. ARYZTA plans to advance the diversification of its balance sheet funding sources to take advantage of attractive interest arbitrage opportunities in the current favourable macro and Swiss credit market conditions. Full details of the 2025 audited financial results will be presented as scheduled on March 2 nd . Since October, management has taken decisive actions to reposition the business for profitable growth and improved performance for 2026. Despite a continued subdued consumer environment, ARYZTA expects to deliver further positive organic growth in 2026. This outlook is supported by the successful conclusion of key customer negotiations and the progressive ramp-up of new production lines in Germany, Malaysia and Switzerland. High customer service levels and innovation also continue to support growth. Under its group-wide efficiency initiatives, ARYZTA is making good progress in implementing significant organisational changes, cost reductions as well as optimising its fixed cost structure to further improve business performance. ARYZTA also announces the investment of approximately €40m in a new bun bakery in Portugal. This state-of-the-art facility will be constructed near Lisbon over the two-year period 2026/27 and is expected to be commissioned in 2028. Combined with ARYZTA’s existing bun bakery in Spain, the new facility is expected to deliver significant opti misation of supply chains and customer service levels across the Iberian Peninsula, while also contributing to operational carbon footprint reductions. ARYZTA AG Chairman and Interim CEO Urs Jordi commented: “We achieved a resilient performance in 2025. Over the past three months, management has taken focused actions on accelerating revenue growth, structural changes and cost reduction. These measures reposition the business to deliver further growth and improved performance in 2026. At the same time, we continue to invest selectively in growth, as evident in the new investment in Portugal, which reflects the company’s strong track record in meeting customer needs. Our focus remains on improving performance, gener ating cash and delivering on our commitment to return capital to shareholders, as laid out in our 2025-2028 mid-term plan.”
