Bilbao, 28 May 2026. Tubacex’s General Shareholders’ Meeting has approved the shareholder remuneration proposal corresponding to the 2025 financial year, for a total amount of €6.4 million, in line with the company’s dividend policy, which maintains a 40% pay-out on adjusted net profit.
This proposal reflects Tubacex’s commitment to stable medium- and long-term remuneration for shareholders, compatible with financial discipline, working capital control and selective investment in higher value-added projects. The company has calculated the remuneration on the basis of adjusted net profit, isolating the effect of the extraordinary, non-recurring and non-cash accounting adjustments voluntarily recorded at the close of the 2025 financial year.
During the General Meeting, Tubacex presented its assessment of a financial year marked by a complex market environment, with a lower level of global activity, pressure on lower value-added products, a weaker average nickel price, and the depreciation of the US dollar.
Despite this context, the Group closed 2025 with sales of €719.3 million, 6.3% lower than in 2024, and adjusted EBITDA of €105.8 million, practically in line with the previous year. The adjusted EBITDA margin stood at 14.7%, compared with 13.9% in 2024, mainly supported
by the weight of a premium product mix, operating discipline and the contribution of strategic projects.
The company highlighted that 2025 was a year of transition in which Tubacex strengthened its profile as a more global, more technological industrial company, better positioned in businesses with high technical requirements. Among the milestones of the year were the full operational readiness of the Abu Dhabi plant, the launch of the TBX Nexxia platform together with Mubadala, progress on the ADNOC contract, the Sentinel Prime license agreement for non-CRA applications, and the strengthening of the commercial pipeline in segments such
as subsea, nuclear, aerospace and defense.
The General Shareholders’ Meeting also approved the resolutions relating to the composition of the Board of Directors. Specifically, the appointments of Rafael Martín de Bustamante and Xabier Sagredo as independent directors were ratified; Iván Martén was reelected as an independent director and Isabel López Paños as a proprietary director; Cristina Álvarez was appointed as an independent director and Ángel Soria as a proprietary director. The number of members of the Board of Directors was also set at twelve.
These resolutions form part of the evolution of Tubacex’s corporate governance and strengthen the composition of the Board in a new stage for the company, with greater diversity of profiles and experience in industrial, technological, financial, strategic and sustainabilityrelated areas.
In financial terms, Tubacex underlined that the evolution of the balance sheet in 2025 was conditioned by the ramp-up of strategic projects, particularly ADNOC. The company maintains cash generation, working capital control and the improvement of cash conversion as priorities for 2026.
“Tubacex enters 2026 with a clear roadmap, focused on cash generation, improving return on capital and disciplined resource allocation. We are operating in an environment still marked by geopolitical uncertainty, tariff pressure and lower short-term commercial visibility, but we now have a solid position in the energy sector, with premium solutions and strategic customers around the world. The current environment requires prudence and rigorous execution, but it does not alter the Group’s structural potential or our major priority: converting activity into cash, driving profitable growth and continuing to build a more competitive, more efficient Tubacex, better positioned to capture high value-added opportunities in the markets where we are present,” said Josu Imaz, Chief Executive Officer of Tubacex.
Looking ahead to the 2026 financial year, Tubacex faces a still demanding environment, marked by commercial tensions that are creating uncertainty around project award and execution schedules. Nevertheless, the company maintains a solid backlog and a robust pipeline in strategic segments, with a particularly strong weight of high value-added solutions and applications linked to energy security, the energy transition and high-specification industry.
Likewise, during the General Meeting, the Chief Executive Officer also reviewed Tubacex’s progress in sustainability, reminding shareholders of the company’s achievement of the highest A rating from CDP in climate change, the improvement in CDP Water Security and Tubacex’s current positioning in the 91st percentile of its industry in S&P Global’s CSA 2025 assessment. These recognitions are part of the Ambition 2030 roadmap, which integrates objectives in climate, circularity, people, governance and the development of solutions for the energy transition.
