Financial Year 2025: maxingvest stays on course - Balanced performance in a volatile environment
Hamburg, 27 August 2026 – In the 2025 financial year, consolidated turnover of maxingvest GmbH & Co. KGaA stood at €13,571 million, representing a nominal increase of 3 per cent on the previous year’s figure (€13,207 million). Organic revenue growth was 5 per cent. The Group’s EBIT for the reporting year was €1,463 million (previous year: €1,428 million). The Group achieved an EBIT margin of 10.8%, unchanged from the previous year.
Tchibo is growing across all product segments and sales channels
At €3,719 million, the turnover of Tchibo was up by 11 per cent in nominal terms and by 12 per cent organically compared with the previous year (€3,357 million). The positive performance of the coffee business contributed significantly to revenue growth. The consumer goods business also grew slightly compared with the previous year, despite general consumer restraint. All sales divisions and country subsidiaries contributed to this growth. At €162 million, EBIT was slightly below the previous year’s figure of €167 million due to coffee tax effects. The EBIT margin reached 4.3% (previous year: 5.0%).
Beiersdorf held its ground despite a market slowdown
Beiersdorf AG continued to grow in the 2025 financial year but fell short of expectations. Consolidated turnover rose from €9,850 million to €9,852 million, representing organic growth of 2 per cent. Operating profit rose from €1,294 million to €1,320 million. The EBIT margin improved to 13.4% (previous year: 13.1%).
Outlook
Tchibo: Rising costs and uncertain consumers weigh on the outlook
In a market that remains volatile, with a highly price-driven competitive environment for coffee and consumer goods, price-sensitive consumers continue to be unsettled by external factors. For 2026, Tchibo expects moderate overall revenue growth.
Due to general cost increases and, in some cases, further rises in purchase prices – which cannot be fully offset – a positive operating profit before interest and tax is expected to be slightly below the previous year’s level. The company will continue to invest in forward-looking projects such as its sales operations, IT and AI, and marketing in 2026.
Beiersdorf: Volatile market environment – weak consumer demand
Beiersdorf expects an organic decline in turnover in the low single-digit percentage range and an EBIT margin, excluding one-off effects, of at least 11.8%.
