Statement by Jens Bjerg Sørensen, President of Schouw & Co.
- Schouw & Co. experienced a challenging yet stable second quarter of 2025, with
consolidated revenue and EBITDA slightly down on the second quarter of 2024. The
diversified portfolio provided stability amid global economic changes,
particularly in Chinese export markets. Despite the global challenges, we
generated a solid operational cash flow of DKK 542 million.
Especially BioMar, GPV and HydraSpecma showed continued solid resilience, while
Borg Automotive faced difficult market conditions. We maintain a positive
outlook, narrowing our full-year 2025 guidance within the previously announced
range.
We have previously announced that we are investigating whether a potential
separate listing of BioMar would create value for the shareholders of Schouw &
Co. The preparatory work continued as expected during the past quarter, and a
banking syndicate has been established. If found to be value-creating, the
listing of BioMar on the Copenhagen stock exchange can take place in the first
half of 2026.
