CEWE specifies 2026 earnings guidance to include transaction and pre-closing costs related to the Kodak Moments acquisition and adds after-tax profit of 25.2 million euros from the successful sale of the Commercial Online-Print division

Oldenburg, November 9, 2026. In July 2026, CEWE Stiftung & Co. KGaA (“CEWE”) announced the purchase of Kodak Alaris’ global instant photo business operating under the Kodak Moments brand. As part of the current preparations for completing this acquisition, the total transaction and pre-closing costs to be incurred in fiscal year 2026 have now been specified at approximately 9.5 million euros. The 2026 corporate planning communicated to date was last updated in May 2026, i.e., before the agreement to acquire Kodak Moments was concluded, and continues to reflect CEWE management’s assessment of expected operating earnings before acquisitions in 2026. Considering the transaction and pre-closing costs of the Kodak Moments acquisition, CEWE today adjusted its 2026 corporate planning as follows:

Group revenue is still expected to grow by up to 4% in 2026 and is planned in a range of 780 to 810 million euros. Including the transaction and pre-closing costs of the Kodak Moments acquisition, Group EBIT for 2026 is expected in a corridor of 75.5 to 81.5 million euros (previously, excluding these transaction and pre-closing costs: 85 to 91 million euros), EBT between 75 and 81 million euros (previously: 84.5 to 90.5 million euros), and net income from continuing operations between 51 and 56 million euros (previously: 57 to 62 million euros). In addition, the after-tax profit of 25.2 million euros from the discontinued Commercial Online-Print division will contribute to Group net income. In the assessment of CEWE management, the operating earnings expectation underlying the adjusted corporate planning remains unchanged.

With the acquisition of Kodak Alaris’ instant photo business, CEWE is expanding its international market presence globally across 54 countries; in addition to the U.S. market, it is primarily entering the markets in Canada, Mexico, and Australia, and will additionally use the Kodak Moments brand for its international consumer business. The transaction is being carried out as a carve-out from the Kodak Alaris Group. The acquired business employs approximately 500 people, operates about 37,000 online-connected photo stations in 16,000 retail stores, and generates annual revenue of approximately 200 million euros. The closing of this acquisition is subject to various closing conditions, including regulatory and antitrust approvals, and is expected to take place in the first half of 2027.


This announcement contains forward-looking statements that are based on current assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties.
