Corbion Reports a 26.7% Growth in Adjusted EBITDA for 2025 and Announces Special Dividend
Dutch sustainable food ingredients producer Corbion released its annual 2025 results on Thursday, showing an organic increase of 26.7% in its Adjusted EBITDA and a 63.3% growth in earnings per share. The company also announced the payment of a special dividend.
Achieving Ambitious Growth Targets
Corbion has met its ambitious growth targets for 2025, both in terms of revenue and organic Adjusted EBITDA. The company generated 90.8 million euros in free cash flow during the fiscal year, exceeding its set target. CEO Olivier Rigaud highlighted that the teams delivered a strong performance throughout the year. This financial trajectory reflects the execution of strategies deployed by the group in its two main business segments.
Positive Dynamics in Functional Ingredients & Solutions
The Functional Ingredients & Solutions division experienced positive dynamics in volume and business mix throughout the year, driven by demand for natural preservation solutions and shelf-life extension. Adjusted EBITDA margins improved by 230 basis points due to cost reductions and complexity reduction, as well as the development of specialized products. The Health & Nutrition division achieved growth in volume and mix in single or double digits, with a positive contribution from all three businesses in the segment. The fourth quarter saw particularly strong growth in volume and mix of 40%, while the Adjusted EBITDA margin was around 30% in Q4 and 32.5% for the full year.
Dividend Distribution Proposal
Corbion proposes a dividend distribution of 1.00 euro per share, consisting of a regular dividend of 0.64 euro and a special dividend of 0.36 euro. This decision reflects the group's commitment to regular shareholder remuneration. Additionally, the group has begun implementing the divestment plan of its stake in the TotalEnergies Corbion joint venture, announced in November 2025 during its investor day.
