26. Dividends

In accordance with the Aktiengesetz (German Stock Corporation Act, AktG), dividends are distributed from net retained profits reported in the Handelsgesetzbuch (German Commercial Code, HGB) single-entity financial statements of Beiersdorf AG. The Executive Board and Supervisory Board will propose a dividend of €1.00 per no-par-value share bearing dividend rights to the Annual General Meeting. The proposed distribution must be approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting and therefore is not reported as a liability in the consolidated financial statements.

In accordance with the resolution of the Annual General Meeting on April 17, 2025, a dividend of €1.00 per dividend-bearing share was resolved for the financial year 2024. With 223,214,380 shares entitled to dividends, the dividend payment totaled €223 million.
