With the approval of a dividend 36% higher than last year’s, alongside a €359 million investment plan for the five-year period 2025–2029 and a stable pricing policy over all the previous years, today’s Annual General Meeting of EYATH S.A. concluded. The meeting was held at the company’s headquarters at 127 Egnatia Street.

Specifically, a dividend of €0.0746 per share was approved (total gross amount of €2.7 million) for the fiscal year 2025, with the ex-dividend date set for Tuesday, August 25, 2026, and the payment date for Tuesday, September 1, 2026. The General Meeting also approved the Board of Directors’ annual management report, the Group’s consolidated financial statements, and the independent certified auditor-accountant’s report for the fiscal year 2025 (01.01.2025 – 31.12.2025). Furthermore, it approved the overall management of the Board, discharged the auditors from any liability for the actions of the previous fiscal year, and approved the remuneration and compensation paid to Board members during the fiscal year 2025. Additionally, the meeting approved the Board’s remuneration report and the paid compensation for 2025, as well as the revised Suitability Policy for Board members aiming at balanced gender representation in management (for companies with more than 250 employees and an annual turnover of at least €50 million or an annual balance sheet of at least €43 million, the representation of the underrepresented gender on the Board cannot fall below 33% of the total members, up from the 25% previously in force).

“Securing water supply in terms of quantity and quality, ensuring the resilience of water and sewerage infrastructure, and adapting to the impacts of climate change are now the most significant challenges for our sector. At EYATH, we remain committed to our mission: to provide high-quality water supply and sewerage services, while creating long-term value for our shareholders, society, and the environment. We are investing in reducing energy consumption, limiting non-revenue water through network modernization, and upgrading and expanding our infrastructure to meet the needs of the coming decades. We are accelerating the integration of renewable energy sources, reducing both operating costs and our environmental footprint, while maintaining our steadfast commitment to supporting vulnerable social groups,” noted the Chairman of EYATH, Agis Papadopoulos.

“The company is moving forward with high profitability of €7.7 million in 2025, despite our unchanged pricing policy in recent years and an investment plan of many millions of euros. The Ministry of Environment’s bill, which is currently under public consultation, clearly recognizes the key role that EYATH can play in addressing water scarcity in Halkidiki and in municipalities adjacent to the Thessaloniki Urban Area. The trust reflected in the new national water strategy is therefore a great honor and at the same time a great responsibility for us. We possess the expertise, human resources, operational experience, and drive to meet the requirements of our new role. We will continue to invest in innovation, modern infrastructure, sound corporate governance, and our workforce to meet the challenges of tomorrow,” highlighted the CEO of EYATH, Anthimos Amanatidis.

The General Meeting ratified the proposal of EYATH’s Audit Committee regarding the appointment of the auditing company for the fiscal year 2026 and approved its remuneration, while also granting permission to Board members and company directors to participate in the boards of directors or management of other affiliated companies of the Group, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 24. Finally, the term of office for the members of the Audit Committee—consisting of Nikolaos Kleitou, Maria Petala, and Ioanna Dovletoglou, all independent non-executive Board members—was renewed.
