PATRIZIA reported preliminary financial results for fiscal year 2025 demonstrating substantial improvement in earnings quality and operational efficiency. The company's EBITDA increased by 35.4% to €63.0 million, reaching the upper end of its guidance range through continued cost discipline and improved performance of balance sheet investments. This significant earnings growth reflects the company's successful execution of its strategic initiatives throughout the year.
Recurring management fees of €233.4 million returned to growth and exceeded all operating expenses for the first time, achieving the strategic goal of making financial results less dependent on market conditions. Operating expenses were actively reduced by 10.2% to €224.8 million through efficiency measures, while net sales revenues and co-investment income improved significantly to €16.9 million from €2.6 million in the previous year. This structural improvement provides the company with greater financial stability regardless of market fluctuations.
Assets under management remained almost stable at €56.2 billion despite negative currency effects, with asset valuations stabilizing throughout 2025. Client demand for real assets investments increased, with equity raised from clients growing by 22.1% to €1.2 billion. Transaction activity showed strong momentum, with closed acquisitions jumping 24.1% to €2.2 billion and closed disposals increasing 10.8% to €1.3 billion. The company's operating cash flow surged to €57.6 million from €12.6 million in 2024, providing strong coverage for dividend payments and strategic investments.
PATRIZIA's Board of Directors proposed increasing the dividend per share by 2.9% to €0.36, marking the eighth consecutive annual increase. This dividend proposal is fully covered by the improved operating cash flow and reflects the company's strengthened financial position. CEO Asoka Wöhrmann commented that the company successfully concentrated efforts on streamlining processes and enhancing efficiency, positioning the integrated investment platform to capture opportunities ahead. He noted that investor sentiment in real estate has stabilized while infrastructure markets showed encouraging momentum, supported by the acceleration of the energy transition and growing interest in circular economy assets.
For 2026, PATRIZIA expects EBITDA in a range between €60.0 and 75.0 million, with a moderate increase in total service fee income alongside continued active cost management. The company anticipates higher fundraising volumes and increased transaction activity against a backdrop of improving financing conditions and stabilizing valuations. AUM is expected to close in a range between €55.0 and 60.0 billion at the end of 2026, excluding potential currency impacts. CFO Martin Praum emphasized that recurring management fees now fully cover operating expenses, underlining the structural strength of the platform and providing higher operational leverage for expected growth in 2026. The company has strengthened its balance sheet, financial and liquidity situation through strategic measures implemented throughout 2025.
