KWS Reports Revenue Growth Amid Challenging Agricultural Environment

KWS SAAT AG has announced a 2.6% increase in revenue for the first nine months of the 2025/2026 fiscal year, driven by earlier shipments despite a difficult market. The company's income reached €1,348.6 million, experiencing a negative currency impact of 1.8%.

Key growth was seen in the sugarbeet segment, despite a global acreage decline, and in the sunflowers of the corn segment. EBITDA rose to €386.8 million, aided by a €29 million one-time effect from licenses sold in the North American corn business.

KWS maintained high earnings stability by enhancing its portfolio and implementing strict cost discipline. The equity ratio is reported at 57.5%, with net debt slightly decreasing to €178.7 million.

For the full fiscal year, KWS confirms its revenue forecast will remain stable, with an expected EBITDA margin between 19% and 21%, excluding one-time sales impacts.
