Stars
DEME Offshore Energy
DEME Offshore Energy is a Star: it leads global offshore-wind installation as the market grows ~12% CAGR to 2030; by Q4 2025 DEME won contracts worth >€3.5bn for EU and US next-gen farms, driving group revenue growth.
High capex: fleet and vessel upgrades pushed 2024–2025 capex to ~€800m–€900m annually, requiring continuous reinvestment to keep market share and sustain long-term industrial growth.
Bank Van Breda Entrepreneurial Segment
Bank Van Breda captures a high share of Belgium’s entrepreneurs and liberal professions, serving roughly 70,000 clients and about €18bn in client assets as of 2025, placing it as a Star in A&VH’s BCG matrix.
Demand is growing at ~8–10% CAGR for specialized SME wealth and succession services through 2024–25, so high-touch advisory plus tailored lending has driven ROE above 12%, outpacing retail peers.
To keep the Star momentum and fend off larger incumbents, continuing to invest ~€30–40m over 2025–27 in digital tools for professionals is necessary to scale advisory and preserve margins.
DEME Environmental Solutions
DEME Environmental Solutions ranks as a Star for Ackermans & Van Haaren: tighter EU soil-remediation rules and brownfield targets (EU Soil Strategy 2021 updates) drive >12% CAGR in remediation spend to 2026, and DEME’s tech wins ~25–30% of large European infra tenders, supporting double-digit revenue growth; ongoing R&D (≈€30–40m pa) is required to hold tech lead versus regional rivals.
Nextensa Sustainable Developments
Nextensa Sustainable Developments, Ackermans & Van Haaren’s real estate arm, pivoted to carbon-neutral urban projects now attracting premium rents—office yields 150–250 bps above legacy stock—and 2024 leasing velocity rose 28% as corporates favor ESG space.
These high-spec builds need heavy upfront capital—capex per project ~€60–120m—but offer the group’s highest growth: NAV growth contribution projected at 6–9% CAGR to 2028.
Maintaining first-mover green certifications (BREEAM/LEED/Well) is critical to preserve rent premiums and investor demand; certification gaps would cut occupier interest and valuations.
- High demand: 28% leasing velocity increase (2024)
- Premium: rents +150–250 bps vs old stock
- Capex: ~€60–120m per project
- Growth: 6–9% NAV CAGR to 2028
- Key risk: losing green-cert lead erodes premiums
Deep-Sea Mineral Exploration
Through GSR, DEME leads deep-sea mineral harvesting, a nascent high-growth area tied to battery metals; regulatory complexity persists but strategic value for electric-vehicle and grid-storage supply chains gives huge upside.
As of 2025 GSR runs advanced tech trials and environmental impact assessments; the unit burns substantial cash—DEME reported ~€200–250m cumulative R&D/CapEx from 2021–2024—while aiming for first commercial pilots in 2026–2027.
If regulations allow commercial scale, GSR could secure dominant positions in polymetallic nodules, potentially acting like a monopoly supplier for certain battery raw materials, though timeline and pricing remain uncertain.
- Nascent market; high growth potential
- Regulatory risk high (UNCLOS/ISA processes)
- 2021–24 R&D/CapEx ~€200–250m
- Commercial pilots targeted 2026–27
- Monopoly upside if commercialized
DEME, Nextensa, Bank Van Breda: High-growth winners—strong CAGRs, hefty capex
DEME Offshore, DEME Environmental, Bank Van Breda and Nextensa are Stars: strong market CAGRs (offshore wind ~12% to 2030; remediation >12% to 2026; SME services 8–10%), hefty capex (DEME fleet €800–900m pa 2024–25; Nextensa €60–120m/project), Bank Van Breda ~70,000 clients €18bn AUM, R&D/CapEx DEME GSR €200–250m 2021–24.
| Unit | Growth | CapEx/R&D | Key 2025 metric |
|---|---|---|---|
| DEME Offshore | ~12% CAGR | €800–900m pa | €3.5bn contracts |
| Bank Van Breda | 8–10% SME | €30–40m digital | 70,000 clients €18bn AUM |

Cash Cows
Delen Private Bank
Delen Private Bank is Ackermans & Van Haaren’s main cash cow, generating ~€520m operating income in 2024 and holding ~35% market share in Benelux discretionary asset management, per company reports.
The private-banking market is mature, producing predictable fee income with ~3% annual growth; Delen’s high efficiency (cost/income ~42% in 2024) and low capex free up liquidity.
Management prioritises client retention and steady margins to fund group dividends and investments, with Delen covering ~60% of group cash needs in 2024.
SIPEF Palm Oil Operations
SIPEF, a market leader in sustainable palm oil, operates in a mature commodity market with steady global demand; its 2024 planted area of ~44,000 ha and 2024 EBITDA margin ~28% underpin strong cash generation when CPO (crude palm oil) prices are stable (2024 average CPO ~USD 850/ton).
Established plantations and efficient mills drive high margins, but land-bank expansion is constrained by strict environmental rules, so management prioritises yield improvement and cost per ton reductions.
Cash flows from SIPEF routinely fund AvH group debt service—net interest paid ~EUR 30m in 2024—and finance higher-risk ventures within the group rather than aggressive capex growth.
Nextensa Rental Portfolio
Nextensa Rental Portfolio delivers steady low-growth rental income from prime office and retail assets, generating about €120m in annual NOI in 2024 and occupancy rates above 94% across Belgium, France and the Netherlands.
Located in stable European hubs, these mature commercial leases require limited capex—maintenance only—keeping capex below 8% of rental revenue in 2024 and acting as a defensive cash buffer during volatility.
Bank Van Breda Core Banking
Bank Van Breda’s core retail and deposit-taking arm supplies stable, low-cost funding to Ackermans & Van Haaren, with customer deposits covering ~60% of group funding and delivering steady interest margins that supported roughly €85m of attributable net profit in 2024.
It serves a mature Belgian market with established shares and single-digit annual loan growth, needs minimal marketing versus advisory units, and requires little fresh capital while contributing predictable cash flow.
- Low-cost deposits ≈60% of group funding
- 2024 net profit contribution ≈€85m
- Market growth: single-digit loans annually
- Low marketing spend vs advisory
- Minimal capital needs; steady interest margins
AvH Treasury and Management Services
AvH Treasury and Management Services acts as the group's internal bank, earning stable management fees and running strategic treasury operations that produced ~€120m in intercompany cash returns and fee income in 2024, with low organic growth but steady margins supporting group liquidity and credit metrics.
It allocates capital across sectors, optimizes dividend flows from subsidiaries (≈€450m received in 2024) to reduce net debt and improve the consolidated balance sheet, key to maintaining the group's investment-grade profile.
- Stable fees: ~€120m (2024)
- Dividends managed: ≈€450m (2024)
- Low growth; high strategic value
- Supports liquidity and credit rating
AvH’s 2024 cash cows: €1.3bn funding powered by Delen, SIPEF, Nextensa, BvB, Treasury
Delen PB, SIPEF, Nextensa rentals, Bank Van Breda and AvH Treasury were AvH’s cash cows in 2024, jointly funding ≈€1.3bn of group cash needs via ~€520m Delen operating income, SIPEF EBITDA margin ~28%, Nextensa NOI €120m, Bank Van Breda net profit ≈€85m and AvH Treasury fees/dividends ≈€570m.
| Unit | Key 2024 metric |
|---|---|
| Delen Private Bank | €520m op. income; cost/inc ≈42% |
| SIPEF | 44,000 ha; EBITDA margin ≈28%; CPO ≈USD850/t |
| Nextensa | NOI ≈€120m; occ >94% |
| Bank Van Breda | Net profit ≈€85m; deposits ≈60% funding |
| AvH Treasury | Fees/dividends ≈€570m; interco returns ≈€120m |
