Cologne, June 13, 2026: The Annual General Meeting of REWE ZENTRALFINANZ eG approved the 2025 annual financial statements on Saturday, June 13, 2026: The cooperative REWE Group looks back on an economically solid and at the same time challenging business year. With the approval of the annual financial statements, REWE Group is also publishing its 2025 Annual Report.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the 2025 financial year, REWE Group continued its successful development in a challenging market environment. The Cologne-based cooperative retail and tourism company increased its external revenue to more than 100 billion euros, underlining its strong market position in Germany and Europe. The scheduled elections of the Supervisory Board of REWE-ZENTRALFINANZ eG confirmed the previous composition of the shareholder side, which will continue unchanged into the new election period. On the employee side, Emilie Bourgoin, Silke Zimmer and Manfred E\u00dfmajor joined the board as new members.<\/p>\n

With the Annual Report 2025, REWE Group underpins its role as a strong and reliable economic factor in Germany and Europe. The focus is on the consistent strengthening of competitiveness in food retailing, the further development of tourism, progress in digitalization and customer loyalty as well as the strategic focus on sustainable growth in a volatile market environment.<\/p>\n

Thanks to its broad resilient business positioning, the cooperative REWE Group, one of the largest trading and travel and tourism companies in Europe, can look back on another successful business year: Despite persistently very challenging conditions, the company was able to achieve total external revenue of more than 100 billion euros for the first time with an increase in turnover of 4.0 per cent. Group revenue increased by + 3.7% to 91.1 billion euros. The Group’s EBITA amounted to over 1.5 billion euros. The investment offensive was continued consistently and at a high level in 2025 with a volume of 2.5 billion euros.<\/p>\n

The fact that we managed to break the 100 billion euro sales mark for the first time in this challenging environment makes us proud. It shows the strength of our business model and the trust of millions of customers in Europe. At the same time, we have consciously invested in our future viability in 2025 – in competitive prices, in innovative customer programs and in the further development of our business. In this way, we are creating the basis for long-term, profitable growth,<\/q> says Lionel Souque, CEO of the REWE Group.<\/p>\n

The REWE Group is economically strong and has a clear strategic orientation. This is the joint achievement of the Management Board, the supervisory bodies and all employees. On this solid and successful basis, we will continue to accompany the company’s successful path responsibly in the future,<\/q> said Stefan Lenk, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of REWE Group, commenting on the development.<\/p>\n

Despite challenging conditions, REWE Group is stable, strong in investment and growth-oriented in the 2025 financial year. With targeted investments in price competition, customer loyalty and international expansion, the company is laying the foundation for its further development and reaffirming its claim to remain a strong and reliable player in its markets in the future.<\/p>\n

The REWE Group 2025 Annual Report will be available from Monday, June 15, 2026 at:<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n
