Vidrala strengthens shareholder remuneration by expanding its share buyback programme to 3% of share capital
- The Group extends its current share buyback and amortisation programme by an additional 1% of its share capital, tripling the original target to a maximum amount of €90 million.
- The decision reflects the confidence of the Executive Team and the Board of Directors in the Company's value, the strength of its current financial position and the solid business outlook supported by its strategic positioning.
25 June 2026. Vidrala, a leading manufacturer of glass packaging with operations across Europe, the UK and South America, has expanded its share buyback programme for the amortisation of treasury shares by an additional 1% of its share capital. Through this decision, the Company reaffirms its commitment to delivering sustainable long-term value creation.
Following the approval of this extension by the Board of Directors, the Company will acquire up to 1,050,000 treasury shares, representing 3% of its share capital, for a maximum aggregate amount of €90 million, with the programme running until December 2026. This represents a threefold increase compared with the programme initially announced in December 2025. Under this programme, Vidrala has already repurchased 697,697 shares.
Raúl Gómez, CEO of Vidrala, commented: "Building long-term shareholder loyalty plays a fundamental role in delivering Vidrala's business strategy and future ambitions. Through our shareholder remuneration policy, we seek to ensure sustainable growth in the cash dividend while complementing it with additional extraordinary measures whenever they are consistent with business conditions and do not compromise the strength of our financial position. Share buybacks for amortisation are an effective additional tool, enabling shareholders to increase their participation in the Company's earnings by immediately enhancing earnings per share. The Board of Directors' decision to further expand this programme reflects our confidence in our business model and its intrinsic value. Our vision is to build the future by demonstrating that it is possible to combine investment for the benefit of our customers, international expansion and an attractive, growing shareholder remuneration policy that fosters shareholder loyalty and ensures a stable ownership structure to continue building the future we deserve."
As part of this shareholder remuneration policy, Vidrala has also increased its annual dividend by 15% this year, bringing the total expected remuneration to €1.7505 per share. The first interim dividend, amounting to €1.2318 per share, was paid on 13 February 2026. The second payment, in the form of a final dividend of €0.4687 per share, is scheduled for 15 July 2026.
