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 2024, CHF 419 million was distributed to shareholders as part of the dividend payment. As part of the concluded and of the ongoing share buyback programme, a total of 230,095 shares were acquired at a sum of CHF 121 million in the reporting year. As a result, CHF 540 million, or 88% of the free cashflow, was distributed to shareholders in 2024 as part of the dividend payment and the share buyback programmes, which equates to 3.0% of Geberit’s market capitalisation as of 31 December 2024.

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 100.6% of the free cashflow in this period.

The Board of Directors will propose to the ordinary General Meeting of Geberit AG on 16 April 2025 an increase in the dividend of 0.8% to CHF 12.80. The payout ratio of 72.5% of net income is just above the 50% to 70% corridor defined by the Board of Directors.
