The Group closed 2025 with 8.7% revenue growth (reaching 10.4% at constant exchange rates), further strengthening its growth trajectory. The favorable trend from previous periods was consolidated, confirming the Group's ability to capture and amplify market trends. This growth was driven by both the excellent performance of the professional division (+32.0% pro-forma²) and solid expansion in the household division (+4.8%).
Specifically, the coffee category bolstered the household division, benefiting from media investments and product innovation. The professional division also delivered excellent results, with both brands capitalizing on their leadership in premium segments, a focus on specialty coffee, and growth in the prosumer channel.
In the first half of the year, Group revenue grew 11.3%, supported by the robust, mid-to-high-single-digit expansion of the household division and the acceleration of the professional division, which increased 23.5% on a pro-forma basis.
The second half of the year solidified the growth trends established in the first half, despite the increasingly negative impact of currency fluctuations. This result was supported by a fourth quarter of significant growth, despite the challenging comparison with the previous year. Specifically, the household division expanded by 2.8% in the quarter (5.2% at constant exchange rates), following a 12% increase the previous year, while the professional division sustained its double-digit momentum with a 39.4% expansion.
The Group recorded an adjusted EBITDA margin of 16.4%, an increase of 40 basis points compared to the previous year. This improvement was primarily driven by the acceleration of the professional division,
2 "pro-forma" means including the consolidation of La Marzocco for 12 months in 2024
which enjoyed excellent and significantly increased margins, combined with the solid profitability of the household segment, which stood at around 15%, confirming its position as the best industry standards.
These results enabled the Group to achieve solid cash generation, closing 2025 with a net financial position of €770 million, after distributing €196.5 million in dividends to shareholders and repurchasing shares for €60.6 million.
Revenues by Geography
In 2025, the Group's growth was broad-based across all quarters and geographical regions. In particular, we note the continued solid trend in Europe, and the return to growth in Asia-Pacific compared to 2024, supported by the excellent performance of China.
Currency trends had a negative impact of 170 basis points on growth over the twelve months; this effect was more pronounced in the fourth quarter, with a negative impact of 250 basis points. In more detail:
| EUR million | FY 2025 | chg. % vs LY | chg. % at constant FX | 4Q 2025 | chg. % vs LY | chg. % at constant FX |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EUROPE | 2,349.2 | 9.1% | 8.8% | 868.6 | 8.0% | 7.7% |
| MEIA (MiddleEast/India/Africa) | 225.8 | 11.2% | 16.0% | 67.7 | 3.5% | 11.7% |
| Americas | 687.0 | 5.0% | 8.5% | 234.6 | 0.2% | 3.7% |
| Asia-Pacific | 539.4 | 10.8% | 18.1% | 169.1 | 2.6% | 15.6% |
| TOTAL REVENUES | 3,801.5 | 8.7% | 10.4% | 1,340.0 | 5.7% | 8.2% |
- Europe recorded a 9.1% increase in revenue over the twelve months (+8.0% in the fourth quarter), with broad-based performance across all markets supported by contributions from both divisions. Specifically, the household division was driven by the continued growth of the coffee machine segment, also supported by the new Nespresso markets, along with the international expansion of Nutribullet and the steady progression of Braun-branded ironing systems;
- the positive momentum continued for the MEIA area which accounts for 5.9% of Group revenue. This region grew at a rate of 11.2% compared to 2024 (+16.0% at constant exchange rates), supported by a low-teens expansion at constant exchange rates during the fourth quarter;
- the Americas region grew at a rate of 5.0% over the twelve months (at constant exchange rates +8.5% for the year and +3.7% for the quarter) despite the impact of the introduction of newly introduced tariffs. Within the household division, the excellent performance of coffee machines offset the contraction in Nutribullet, which was affected by a slowdown in the blender market and a challenging comparison against record-setting 2024 results. Meanwhile, the professional division maintained an excellent growth trajectory, with strong contributions from both brands;
- finally, the Asia Pacific region achieved revenue growth of 10.8% over the 12 months, but with a significant currency impact (growth was 18.1% at constant exchange rates). In particular, China, along with Australia and New Zealand, delivered excellent organic results across both periods analysed. The region maintained solid constant-currency growth in the fourth quarter as well, with results progressing in the mid-teens.

Revenues by product category
The professional division delivered an excellent performance, achieving revenues of €488.2 million in 2025, a 45.8% increase compared to 2024 (+32.0% on a pro forma basis). The household division also posted record revenues of €3,318.6 million, a 4.8% increase compared to 2024 (+6.5% at constant exchange rates).
The professional division demonstrated widespread growth across all geographic areas. The premium positioning of Eversys and La Marzocco, combined with their brand strength, allowed the division to grow at a rate significantly higher than the market average. The Group successfully captured and amplified the trend toward premium espresso, responding to the demand of an increasingly discerning consumer focused on the quality of the raw material. This evolution is reflected in the global proliferation of specialty coffee shops globally. Also noteworthy are the excellent results of La Marzocco's prosumer segment, which saw strong expansion compared to 2024. In addition to incisive marketing activities, the brand's success has also been fueled by its ability to establish exclusive collaborations prestigious global partners, including Porsche, Aimé Leon Dore, and Victorinox.
With regard to the Household division, the following is noted:
- The coffee segment recorded solid high-single-digit growth in both periods analysed, driven by the excellent results of manual machines and Nespresso products, as well as low-teens growth in the coffee accessories category;
- The Nutrition segment recorded a mid-single-digit decline over the twelve-month period. This figure was primarily impacted by a downturn in the United States, driven by contracting demand in the blender market and unfavourable currency effects, as well as a challenging comparison with 2024, when growth was double-digit. Also noteworthy is the mid-to-high-single-digit growth of Kenwood-branded kitchen machines for the second consecutive year.
- With regard to other categories, we highlight the double-digit growth of Braun-branded ironing systems for the third consecutive year, reflecting the success of the product innovation and communication strategy implemented by the Group in the recent past. The comfort sector (portable heating and air conditioning) recorded a partial decrease compared to the previous financial year.
Operating margins
2025 saw a marked improvement in the Group's margins, benefiting from volume growth in both divisions and a favourable sales mix, driven by the excellent performance of the professional segment.
Both divisions confirmed excellent profitability throughout the year. In terms of adjusted EBITDA, the household division achieved €491.8 million, corresponding to a 14.8% margin on revenues, while the professional division achieved €133.4 million with a 27.3% margin.
In the twelve months:
- Net industrial margin stood at €1,964.7 million, equal to 51.7% of revenues, compared to 50.6% in 2024;
- Adjusted EBITDA amounted to €625.1 million, or 16.4% of revenues, an improvement of 40 basis points compared to the previous year. This expansion was primarily driven by the strong growth of the professional division, which achieved margins significantly above the Group average. Regarding the household division, the positive contribution of volume effects, raw material savings, and cost efficiencies successfully more than offset the impact of currency fluctuations, tariffs, and increased A&P (Advertising & Promotion) investments in absolute terms;
- EBITDA was €589.2 million, equal to 15.5% of revenues, after €34.3 million in costs related to managerial incentive plans and €1.6 million of non-recurring expenses. It should be noted that the significant increase in costs related to incentive plans is related both to the household division and to the excellent performance of the professional business during the year;
- Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to €458.1 million, or 12.1% of revenues;
- Adjusted net profit stood at €368 million, equal to 9.7% of revenues (net of non-recurring items, costs relating to stock incentive plans and the related estimated tax effect);
- Finally, net profit pertaining to the Group amounted to €316.3 million, or 8.3% of revenues, after financial expenses of €8.1 million (compared to €1.4 million in 2024).
In the fourth quarter:
- Net industrial margin stood at €665.8 million, equal to 49.7% of revenues, compared to 49.4% in 2024;
- Adjusted EBITDA was €235.6 million, equal to 17.6% of revenues, essentially in line with the previous year. This improvement was primarily supported by growth in the Professional division, which boasts higher margins than the Group average.
