Following the delisting of the William Peel brand among some Off-Trade distributors amid the continuing slowdown in the spirits market, the France Cluster posted revenues of €50.0m for the nine months ended 30 September 2025, down 19.3% versus 2024. At Group level, this delisting represents a 7.1% decline in consolidated revenue over nine months.
The decline was more pronounced in the third quarter, with sales down 23.4% at €14.8m. In the two distribution channels (Off-Trade and On-Trade), all brands posted declining sales in Q3 2025, particularly William Peel and with the exception of Marie Brizard, still buoyed by new innovation listings and excellent momentum in the On-Trade.
All portfolio brands kept up a strong performance in the On-Trade which however continues over the first nine months, albeit insufficient to offset the sharp reduction in major retail sales.
International Cluster nine-month revenues dipped 1.2% to €77.5m.
Q3 2025 sales followed the same trend, down 1.1% versus Q3 2024.

MBWS International (Export) posted Q3 revenues down 18.8%, thereby accentuating the Q2 decline, marked by contrasting developments in different markets:
Spain posted 6.0% sales growth in Q3 2025 driven by Industrial Services (up 10.4%). This performance offset the decline in International Strategic Brand sales, impacted by the prevailing economic conditions, after strong growth in the first two quarters.
Denmark confirmed the Q2 downswing in sales, posting Q3 sales down 19.5%.
Lithuania posted Q3 revenue growth of 5.4% driven by exports, particularly to Ukraine, the region's main market. Domestic sales are pursuing an overall structural decline amid intensifying competition, while price elasticity has been hit by multiple excise duty increases, particularly in the vodka and Scotch whisky segments. After strong first-half growth, Industrial Services sales declined in Q3 compared to a particularly strong Q3 2024.
Bulgaria posted Q3 2025 sales down 6.4%, impacted by a growing domestic market (International Strategic Brands - especially Sobieski and William Peel) offset by a decline in exports.
In the United States, revenues rose 26.4% in Q3 but fell 33.3% over nine months, mainly impacted by the increased share of Marie Brizard sales and a temporary recovery in Sobieski shipments impacted by the stock reduction policy pursued by our importer since the first half of 2025. The slowdown in shipments due to this policy curbed total Group nine-month revenues by 1.3%.
In Brazil, Q3 sales edged up 1.3% (at constant exchange rates) as the recovery in Dubar sales offset the decline in other portfolio brand sales.
The Group is seeking to establish the conditions for profitable and sustainable development of its business portfolio and for strengthening its presence in key markets, by leveraging its commercial networks, industrial assets and strategic business segments. The Group is demonstrating global resilience in its mainstream brands by combining targeted initiatives, agile commercial execution and rigorous cost management.
The continuing decline in Q3 revenues reflects the impact of trade tensions in France aggravated by more challenging conditions in the global wine and spirits market. This situation was confirmed by the delisting of the William Peel brand by some Off-Trade distributors in France and the July introduction of further tariff hikes in trade with the United States.
In response to significant inflation in the cost price of matured spirits, particularly Scotch whisky and, to a lesser extent, cognac, the Group has taken steps to minimise the fallout and best preserve its financial performance in France and on international markets.

The Group continues to make every effort and maintain ongoing dialogue to mitigate the impact of the recent months' trade tensions. In particular, the objective with certain Off-Trade chains in France is to achieve a recovery in business activity that is beneficial to all stakeholders and is based on fair and acceptable commercial terms.
Meanwhile, the Group continues to rely on all of its strategic levers to face these headwinds, in particular by diversifying its offering via the development of Industrial Services and the distribution of Agency Brands, two segments that are performing well and demonstrating real growth potential. The Group also remains focused on its roadmap, particularly in terms of innovation and sustainable transition initiatives, while maintaining vigilance in adapting its range to the elasticity of consumer demand.
Lastly, the Group continues to actively pursue the identification of suitable and profitable growth opportunities, both organic and external, by galvanising initiatives within its two clusters with a view to long-term development amid continuing consolidation in the wine and spirits market.
