Scout24 SE announced that at its Annual General Meeting held in Munich on June 17, 2026, shareholders approved all proposed resolutions with strong majorities. Key approvals include a dividend increase to EUR 1.50 per share for the 2025 financial year, representing a 14% year-on-year rise from EUR 1.32, marking the fourth consecutive double-digit percentage increase. The dividend reflects the Scout24 Group's continued strong operational performance and profitable growth in 2025.
Shareholders also endorsed adjustments to Supervisory Board remuneration, prompted by increased demands from the company's growth, rising governance requirements, and the introduction of a share ownership and retention requirement. Under the new rule, Supervisory Board members must build and maintain a shareholding equivalent to 100% of their annual base remuneration over four years and for their tenure, aligning their interests with shareholders. The remuneration structure remains fixed, consistent with the German Corporate Governance Code.
The AGM renewed authorization for the company to repurchase treasury shares, continuing Scout24's strategy of creating sustainable shareholder value through buy-backs. Additionally, shareholders approved the actions of Management and Supervisory Board members for fiscal 2025 and the remuneration report.
In his speech, CEO Ralf Weitz highlighted Scout24's evolution from a digital marketplace to an integrated real estate ecosystem, leveraging artificial intelligence, data, and software solutions to enable more efficient real estate transactions. CFO Martin Mildner emphasized the group's strong financial performance and cash-generative business model, noting that the combination of subscription businesses in Professional and Private segments, along with data- and software-based solutions, are resilient growth drivers. He stated that disciplined capital allocation enables Scout24 to return EUR 455 million to shareholders in 2026 through dividends and share buy-backs.
Dr. Hans-Holger Albrecht, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, said the company's consistent expansion of technology, data, and AI capabilities has strengthened its market position and provides a foundation for future growth.
