Edita Food Industries reports 72% profit growth in Q2 2025 with US$103.3M in revenue
The growth was fueled by a strong rebound in volumes across core segments.
EGYPT – Egypt’s leading packaged snack producer, Edita Food Industries S.A.E. (EFID.CA on the Egyptian Exchange), has reported a stellar second-quarter performance for 2025, with net profit soaring 72.1% year-on-year to EGP 539 million (US$11.14M).
The company’s consolidated revenues reached a record EGP 5 billion (US$103.3M), marking a 22.2% increase compared to the same period last year.
The growth was fueled by a strong rebound in volumes across core segments. Cakes, bakeries, and rusks led the charge, with volume growth of 7.8%, 47.6%, and 34.5% respectively.
Rusks posted the highest revenue growth at 67.1%, reaching EGP 269.1 million (US$5.57M).
The cake segment remained the largest contributor, generating EGP 2.6 billion (US$53.79M), followed by bakery at EGP 1.4 billion (US$28.97M).
On the international front, Edita’s export sales surged 47.7% to EGP 451 million (US$9.33M), reflecting the company’s strategic push into regional markets.
Edita Morocco delivered a robust 44.3% year-on-year growth, supported by deeper market penetration and expanded retail coverage.
In a major step toward regional expansion, Edita has relocated one of its bakery production lines to Baghdad, Iraq, with operations expected to commence by the end of 2025.
This move follows a partnership agreement signed earlier in the year and signals Edita’s intent to tap into Iraq’s fast-growing consumer market.
Chairman Hani Berzi attributed the strong results to portfolio optimisation and a rebound in consumer demand.
“Our strategy continues to deliver, with improved margins and solid brand equity allowing us to adapt to new price points and expand capacity,” said Berzi.
The company’s pricing strategy also played a key role, with the average price per pack rising 38.4% year-on-year to EGP 5.48 (US$0.113), offsetting an 11.7% decline in total packs sold.
Edita’s gross profit rose 40.6% to EGP 1.6 billion (US$33.07M), with gross margin expanding to 33.2%. EBITDA climbed 45.8% to EGP 902 million (US$18.64M), yielding an 18.2% margin.
As of June 30, the company held a cash balance of EGP 3.4 billion (US$70.28M) against total loans and borrowings of EGP 3.8 billion (US$78.55M).
With strategic investments and regional expansion underway, Edita is positioning itself to capitalise on dynamic market opportunities across the Middle East and North Africa region, and beyond.
In May this year, Edita hinted at plans to expand into Côte d’Ivoire as part of its export strategy.
