The shareholding owned by dsm-firmenich in Yimante Health Ingredients (Jingzhou, China) Company Ltd. is 75%. Profits are distributed on a 50:50 basis. The impact of this arrangement has led to a transfer of €40 million (2024: €19 million) within equity from shareholders’ equity to non-controlling interest.

Following the classification of the ANH business as held-for-sale, the non-controlling interest in Yimante was reclassified accordingly at year-end 2025.

In the reporting period, dsm-firmenich acquired an additional 15.5% of the shares in Andre Pectin (Yantai, China) for a purchase price of €101 million. It also concluded with the minority shareholder on a reciprocal option to acquire the remaining 9.5% of the shares in Andre Pectin.
