Business
KWS SAAT SE & Co. KGaA, headquartered in Einbeck, Lower Saxony, Germany, and founded in 1856, develops, produces and distributes seeds for agriculture worldwide; it operates through four main segments including Corn, Sugarbeet, Cereals, and Vegetables, with core products encompassing high-yield seed varieties for sugarbeet, corn, soybeans, sunflowers, wheat, rye, barley, oilseed rape, sorghum, peas, protein plants, special crops, organic seed, potatoes, spinach, beans, red beet, chard, cucumber, melon, watermelon, tomato, pepper and green bean; the company conducts breeding, propagation, processing and sales activities across Europe, North and South America, Asia and North Africa through numerous subsidiaries. KWS invests heavily in research and development, allocating approximately €349 million or 20.8% of net sales in fiscal 2024/2025 to advance breeding methods such as cross-breeding, hybrid breeding, digital phenotyping, genetic engineering and genome editing, enabling nearly 300 new market varieties annually tailored to climatic and soil conditions. In recent strategic shifts, KWS divested its South American corn and sorghum business effective July 31, 2024, and entered an agreement in June 2025 to sell its 50% stakes in North American joint ventures AgReliant Genetics for low three-digit million USD plus mid double-digit million USD in licensing fees, streamlining its Corn segment toward profitable European focus with expected one-time gains in fiscal 2025/2026; it expanded vegetable research infrastructure with a new 10,000 square meter facility including 6,600 square meter greenhouse in Andijk, Netherlands, inaugurated in June 2025 for spinach, beans, beets, chard, cucumber and peppers, anticipating new varieties within three years; Pop Vriend Seeds was fully integrated as KWS Vegetables Netherlands B.V. in October 2024; fiscal 2024/2025 net sales held steady at €1,677 million with EBITDA of €351 million, free cash flow rose to €123 million from continuing operations, net debt fell to €62 million, and the company proposes raising its dividend to €1.25 per share for a 25-30% adjusted payout ratio under a refined policy targeting 3-5% organic growth and 19-21% EBITDA margins through 2028.
