Guidance FY 2025 revised upwards

Market context

  • In the first half of 2025, food inflation stands at higher levels in comparison to general inflation*, however, with no significant impact on consumer spending. In fact, the Group registers both higher volumes and prices, the latter as a consequence mainly of product mix and inflation as well. Despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, the Group's operations have substantially remained unaffected on the US tariffs front, particularly as Mexican avocados continues to benefit from T-MEC protections, while the main European business does not export to the States. The Group has once again demonstrated an above market average growth.

Distribution BU

  • Sales growth of +13,7% vs H1 2024
    • ‣ Sales grew thanks to the increase in both volumes and prices, driven by the contribution of the high value-added categories and in particular of kiwifruit, exotic fruit, table grapes, citrus, bananas (despite some supply scarcity) and fresh-cut.
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin comes in at 4,7% vs 4,5% in H1 2024, in the light of:
    • ‣ Valuable output of the following F&V campaigns: kiwifruit, exotic fruit, platano Canario, pineapples, table grapes, citrus and fresh-cut.
  • Shipping BU

    • Satisfying overall result, with record loading factor over 95%
  • Adjusted EBITDA of 15,1 M€, representing 25,2% of net sales (H1 2024: 22,2%)
