SIX has issued a statement endorsing Worldline’s transformation plans, expressing its intention to support the proposals that will be presented at the upcoming Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders. Despite the strong relationship it maintains with Worldline in the payments arena, SIX has decided not to participate in the recent capital increase announced by the company, resulting in a dilution of its current 10.5% stake. This decision is in line with the capital allocation and growth priorities defined by SIX.
In terms of financial results, it is anticipated that the non-monetary impact of SIX’s stake in Worldline will reach around -550 million Swiss francs. This adverse result is mainly due to the impairment of Worldline’s goodwill, as indicated in its half-year results. However, SIX’s Board of Directors projects an adjusted net result, excluding these effects, of around 250 million Swiss francs, and has proposed a stable dividend for the year 2025.
On the other hand, SIX has decided to acquire Worldline’s electronic data management business, formerly known as CETREL Securities. This area focuses on helping clients meet regulatory requirements and reduce risks. The completion of this acquisition is expected in the first half of 2026, and is expected to strengthen SIX’s position in the growing market of sanctioned securities oversight.
In terms of operational growth, SIX has maintained a positive performance in the first half of the year and expects a mid-single-digit revenue increase, as well as a significant increase in EBITDA for the full year of 2025. Additionally, the company has a strong capital position, with an estimated equity ratio above 60% at year-end and a net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of approximately 1.0x. Financial results for the year 2025 are expected to be presented on March 24, 2026.
