flatexDEGIRO SE has adopted a new capital allocation policy that includes a framework for regular dividend distribution of 20% of net income, with a possible dividend for 2025 of around €0.30 per share compared to €0.04 in 2024. Based on preliminary, unaudited figures, revenues for fiscal year 2025 increased by approximately 17% to around €560 million, while net income rose by about 44% to approximately €160 million, both exceeding the upper end of previous guidance.
The company's management anticipates further profitable growth in 2026, with revenues expected to increase by 5 to 10 percent to between €588 million and €616 million, and net income projected to grow by 5 to 15 percent to between €168 million and €184 million. Both the flatex and DEGIRO brands are expected to achieve further organic customer growth in all key markets, supported by recently introduced product and service offerings including crypto trading and securities lending.
According to CEO Oliver Behrens, "Our expanded dividend policy marks the beginning of a new chapter: we are combining sustainable growth with reliable shareholder returns. The strong operating performance in 2025 clearly demonstrates the effectiveness of our strategy." The company plans to significantly expand its savings plan offering throughout 2026, further enhance personal customer service, and launch competitive pension products in Germany in anticipation of expected pension reforms.
The new capital allocation policy focuses primarily on driving organic growth in existing and new product and service areas while enabling potential consolidation steps, growth and bolt-on acquisitions, and opportunistic use of share buybacks. Based on flatexDEGIRO's XETRA closing price on February 17, 2026 of €33.20, the proposed dividend would result in a yield of just under 1 percent.
This development is significant for investors and the European fintech sector as it demonstrates how a rapidly growing digital brokerage can transition to providing substantial shareholder returns while maintaining aggressive expansion plans. The sevenfold dividend increase represents a maturation of the company's financial strategy and provides a model for other fintech firms balancing growth investments with investor expectations.
flatexDEGIRO will publish its full preliminary results for fiscal year 2025 on February 26, 2026, at 08:00 a.m. CET, with a press conference following at 09:00 a.m. CET.

The new capital allocation policy is expected to be implemented through a proposal at the company's Annual General Meeting on June 2, 2026.
