Share price performance in the reporting year

At the end of the year, the share price closed at CHF 619.60, corresponding to an increase of 20.4% across the year as a whole. In the same period, the SMI posted gains of 14.4%. Viewed over the past five years, the Geberit share posted an annual average increase of 2.3% (SMI +4.4%). Since going public (IPO) in 1999, the average annual increase is 11.1% (SMI +2.3%).

Distribution

Given a stable market environment, Geberit achieves high free cashflow, which is distributed to shareholders, used to repay debts and applied towards any acquisitions. The capital structure is prudently maintained, and the company strives for a solid balance sheet structure with a sufficient buffer of liquidity for the operating business. On the one hand, this policy guarantees the financial flexibility necessary to achieve growth targets, and, on the other hand, it offers investors security. Surplus liquid funds are distributed to shareholders. Geberit continued this shareholder-friendly distribution policy last year as well.

In 2025, CHF 422 million was distributed to shareholders as part of the dividend payment. As part of the ongoing share buyback programme, a total of 145,231 shares were acquired at a sum of CHF 81 million in the reporting year. As a result, CHF 503 million, or 76% of the free cashflow, was distributed to shareholders in 2025 as part of the dividend payment and the share buyback programme, which equates to 2.4% of Geberit’s market capitalisation as of 31 December 2025.

Over the last five years, around CHF 3.3 billion has been paid back to shareholders in the form of distributions or share buybacks, which corresponds to 100% of the free cashflow in this period.
