MUNICH, GERMANY – At today's Annual General Meeting, shareholders of CANCOM SE approved all resolutions proposed by the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board by a large majority, confirming the company's strategic direction. The AGM resolved to pay a dividend of EUR 1.00 per share for the 2025 financial year, continuing CANCOM's consistent and stable dividend policy. Additionally, the authorization to acquire and use treasury shares was renewed, allowing the company flexibility in returning capital to shareholders.
In his speech, CFO Thomas Stark reflected on a challenging 2025 financial year, characterized by a subdued market environment that stabilized as the year progressed. Stark highlighted two key growth drivers: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital sovereignty. Companies and public sector clients continue to invest in high-performance, secure, and sovereign IT infrastructures, while industrial AI applications offer significant potential for efficiency and innovation.
“Increased productivity through high-performance IT infrastructures is a key element in our customers’ competitiveness,” Stark said at the meeting. “Our priority remains clear: profitable growth, greater operational efficiency through the use of AI, and sustainable value creation for our shareholders.”
For the current 2026 financial year, the Executive Board confirmed its forecast, expecting consolidated revenue between EUR 1,750 million and EUR 1,850 million, EBITDA between EUR 110 million and EUR 130 million, and EBITA between EUR 55 million and EUR 75 million. The company plans to consistently pursue its strategic development, focusing on stable capital allocation and operational efficiency measures to achieve profitable growth even in a challenging market.

The approval of all resolutions at the AGM underscores shareholder confidence in CANCOM's strategy amid a volatile IT market.
