Marburg, 16 September 2024 – The Management Board of 3U HOLDING AG (ISIN DE0005167902; stock exchange symbol: UUU) has reviewed and updated the medium-term goals set under MISSION 2026, presented back in mid-2023, against the backdrop of the current development of business and in consideration of future expectations. The concrete outcome of these deliberations now runs under the title of 3U MISSION 2026+. “As regards our original goals, nothing has basically changed. Recent months have already seen us successfully initiate a raft of planned initiatives. The time horizon necessary for full implementation of the goals we have set ourselves may, however, be longer than originally expected due to the persistently difficult framework conditions,” says Uwe Knoke, 3U HOLDING AG’s board member responsible for strategy and business development.

Rigorous pursuit of the 2026+ value strategy

The mission is anchored in a sound growth strategy which has been successfully implemented for years. Accordingly, the 3U Group is consistently aligned to dynamic revenue growth, flanked by sustainable growth in earnings and value. With this in mind, the company has underpinned its value ambitions by specifying revenue targets. Combined with an extensive investment programme, the growth initiatives should continue to generate value potential of around EUR 510 million to EUR 620 million for the Group in the years ahead. These plans are based on a comprehensive investment programme of more than EUR 220 million which comprises company acquisitions, as well as the significant increase in the Renewable Energies segment’s nominal output.
