Scout24: Annual General Meeting approves all proposed resolutions; dividend increased again

  • Dividend increased at a double-digit percentage to EUR 1.50 per share
  • Adjustment of Supervisory Board remuneration and introduction of a share ownership and retention requirement approved
  • Renewed authorisation for further share buy-backs

Munich, 17 June 2026

At today’s Annual General Meeting (AGM), held in person in Munich, shareholders of Scout24 SE approved all proposals submitted by the Management Board and Supervisory Board with a strong majority. Key agenda items included the resolution on the dividend distribution, the adjustment of Supervisory Board remuneration including the introduction of a share ownership and retention requirement, and the renewal of the authorisation to repurchase treasury shares.

The Scout24 Group continued its strong operational performance in the 2025 financial year, delivering profitable growth once again. Against this backdrop, the Management Board and Supervisory Board proposed increasing the dividend by a double-digit percentage for the fourth consecutive year. Shareholders approved the proposal. As a result, a dividend of EUR 1.50 per share will be distributed for the financial year 2025, representing an increase of approximately 14% year-on-year (previous year: EUR 1.32 per share).

The AGM also approved an adjustment to the remuneration system for Supervisory Board members. This was prompted by the significantly increased demands placed on the Supervisory Board’s work in recent years, as a result of the Company’s strong growth, rising governance requirements, and the introduction of a share ownership and retention requirement for Supervisory Board members. The associated remuneration increase reflects the growing complexity of the business model, the evolving regulatory environment, and the increasing importance of technology and AI-related topics. The remuneration structure remains unchanged and continues to consist exclusively of fixed components, in line with good corporate governance and the recommendations of the German Corporate Governance Code.

Under the newly introduced share ownership and retention requirement, Supervisory Board members are obliged to build up and maintain a shareholding in the Company equivalent to 100% of their annual base remuneration over a four-year period and for the duration of their tenure. This further strengthens the alignment of interests between the Supervisory Board and shareholders.

The renewed authorisation to repurchase treasury shares continues Scout24’s strategy of creating sustainable shareholder value through ongoing share buy-backs.

In addition, shareholders granted formal approval of the actions of the members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board for financial year 2025 and approved the remuneration report presented.

In his speech, CEO Ralf Weitz highlighted the strategic evolution of Scout24 and the growing importance of artificial intelligence and intelligent workflow solutions: “Over the past years, Scout24 has evolved from a digital marketplace into an integrated real estate ecosystem. Leveraging artificial intelligence, our data and software solutions, and new automation capabilities, we are taking the next step in enabling more efficient real estate transactions. Our ambition is to support seekers, homeowners and real estate professionals across the entire real estate value chain with increasingly intelligent workflows and solutions.”

CFO Martin Mildner emphasised the Group’s strong financial performance and cash-generative business model: “Our strong operational performance is driven by our unique product portfolio and the continued growth of our customer base. At the same time, our cash-generative business model enables us to invest selectively in innovation, technology and new growth areas while delivering attractive shareholder returns. Our two leading subscription businesses in the Professional and Private segments, together with our data- and software-based solutions offering, have once again proven to be resilient growth drivers. This combination of profitable growth, scale and disciplined capital allocation forms the basis for sustainable value creation and enables us to return EUR 455 million to shareholders through dividends and share buy-backs in 2026 alone.”

Dr Hans-Holger Albrecht, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Scout24 SE, said: “Scout24 successfully continued its strong performance in the 2025 financial year, once again delivering profitable growth. The consistent expansion of our technology, data and AI capabilities has strengthened the Company’s market position and provides the foundation for future growth. The Supervisory Board actively supports the Company’s strategic direction in these areas. The further development of the Supervisory Board remuneration and the introduction of a share ownership and retention requirement further strengthen the alignment of interests between the Supervisory Board and shareholders. Scout24 is excellently positioned to continue creating sustainable value for customers, shareholders and employees.”
