* On September 23, 2025, NORMA Group signed the sale agreement for its Water Management business unit to Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc.; the transaction was completed on February 2, 2026. The Water Management business was classified as a "discontinued operation" as of July 31, 2025.

FOKUS Industrial Powerhouse for Connecting Solutions

NORMA Group is consistently advancing its strategic realignment to position itself as an “Industrial Powerhouse” for joining technology – leveraging its global portfolio of mission-critical joining and fluid-handling systems, which are used worldwide in industrial, energy, and infrastructure applications, as well as in the mobility sector. At the same time, the focus on operational excellence, portfolio refinement, and robust core industrial applications creates the foundation for sustainable, profitable growth in a broadly diversified industrial environment.

  • Net cash inflow from the sale amounts to approximately EUR 650 million
  • Use of proceeds confirmed: debt reduction, investments to strengthen the core business, share buyback and preparation of a capital reduction through the redemption of own shares to be proposed to the Annual General Meeting – shareholders to participate in the proceeds with a total amount of up to EUR 260 million

NORMA Group successfully completed the sale of its Water Management business to the US company Advanced Drainage Systems (ADS) as planned. The company also confirms the use of the net cash inflow, which will be implemented through a combination of various measures.

The enterprise value of the transaction amounts to approximately EUR 850 million (USD 1 billion). This value reflects a successful growth phase of the business unit under the ownership of NORMA Group. After taking into account deductions, the net cash inflow amounts to approximately EUR 650 million. Of this amount, approximately EUR 300 million of the proceeds from the sale will be used to reduce debt and an additional amount of approximately EUR 70 million will be retained to strengthen NORMA Group’s core business. As a result, NORMA Group will be almost debt-free and will also have considerable spare liquidity.

Furthermore, the Management Board and Supervisory Board have decided to return a total amount of up to EUR 260 million from the net proceeds of the sale to shareholders through a combination of various measures.

As a first step in the announced capital return, NORMA Group successfully completed a public share buyback offer on March 27, 2026. At a price of EUR 16.59 per share, the share buyback offer was oversubscribed several times by the shareholders. The company could therefore buy back shares amounting to approximately 10 percent of the share capital and thus already return a total of around EUR 52.9 million to its shareholders. In addition, the Management Board and Supervisory Board are expected to propose a capital reduction by cancelling shares in a simplified procedure to the Annual General Meeting as the next step. Together with the share buyback that has already been implemented, a total of up to EUR 260 million from the net cash inflow from the sale of the water management business is to be returned to shareholders.

On March 31, 2026, in connection with the publication of fiscal 2025’s figures, NORMA Group SE announced that the Annual General Meeting 2026 would be postponed from the originally planned date in May to July 1, 2026. The postponement is based on the preparations required in connection with the planned capital reduction of redemptions of shares under the simplified procedure. The aim is to enable the shareholders of NORMA Group to make an informed decision regarding the corresponding measures.
