Dividend

Supported by the Company’s robust fundamentals, including strong free cash flow generation and a solid balance sheet, and reflecting Management’s confidence in the future development of HUGO BOSS, the Managing Board has decided to launch a share buyback program, further strengthening shareholder value creation. Until December 31, 2027, HUGO BOSS plans to buy back shares in an amount of up to EUR 200 million. The share buyback shall be financed through the Company’s continued free cash flow generation, with HUGO BOSS intending to cancel the repurchased shares. At the same time, HUGO BOSS remains fully committed to preserving the financial flexibility required to consistently execute its strategy, invest in future growth, and further strengthen its balance sheet amid an ongoing volatile environment. In this context, and reflecting a disciplined capital allocation approach, the Managing Board and the Supervisory Board intend to propose to the Annual General Meeting on May 21, 2026, to only pay the legal minimum dividend of EUR 0.04 per share for fiscal year 2025 (2024: EUR 1.40).
