Daldrup & Söhne AG wins EU-wide tender for major geothermal energy contract

• Order value in the high double-digit million Euro range
• HV dividend proposal: EUR 0.15 per share

Oberhaching / Ascheberg, July 21, 2025 – Drilling technology and geothermal energy specialist Daldrup & Söhne AG (ISIN DE0007830572) has won the EU-wide tender issued by Innovative Energie für Pullach GmbH[1] (IEP GmbH) in Pullach for the drilling of seven geothermal wells. The project will start when the planned discovery insurance under the KfW 572 program comes into effect. This will happen when the federal budget is passed at the end of September. As general contractor, Daldrup will start drilling at the Pullach South and Baierbrunn sites in December 2025 and continue for around two and a half years to extract geothermal energy from the Malm deposit (Upper Jurassic). Depending on the results, Daldrup will drill up to three additional wells. This is the largest single project in the company's history. The estimated contract value will be in the upper double-digit million Euro range. Daldrup expects drilling lengths of between 4,000 m and 5,100 m and temperatures between 122°C and 142°C.

 

Andreas Tönies, CEO of Daldrup & Söhne AG, describes the project as follows: "Winning this major project is not only a vote of confidence in the expertise of Daldrup & Söhne AG, it is also a milestone for the economic viability of geothermal energy development in Germany. The high number of boreholes at two neighboring sites brings significant efficiency benefits in terms of preparation, project management, and project execution. This serves as a model and can be used as a blueprint for many municipalities in southern and northern Germany. Synergies from larger orders will reduce development costs, making geothermal energy even more attractive for heat supply.

 

The IEP project in Pullach increases the value of Daldrup & Söhne AG's order book to over EUR 130 million. At the same time, it confirms the value of the relevant market defined by Daldrup[2], which has almost quintupled over the last five years. The project will provide a solid foundation for the development of the Group's total output and EBIT in 2026, 2027, and 2028.

 

Dividend proposal to the Annual General Meeting

For the first time since 2014, the Management Board will propose to the Annual General Meeting on August 28, 2025, that a dividend of EUR 0.15 per share be distributed from the net profit of EUR 1,977,525.80. Based on the XETRA closing price of EUR 9.16 at the end of 2024, this would correspond to a dividend yield of 1.6 percent. The payout ratio would be 45.4 percent. Around EUR 1.1 million would be carried forward to new account.

 

Andreas Tönies commented on the proposed dividend: “The shareholders of Daldrup & Söhne AG should once again participate in the company's economic success through dividends. At the same time, the company's financial strength should be strengthened for further growth. This is because we want to reinvest the cash flows generated in further growth as needed to achieve adequate returns.”
