The Emmi Group reports strong organic sales growth of 4.3% in 2025, despite a challenging market environment. Exceeding the company’s expectations, this growth was driven by a strong momentum with innovative concepts in the home market of Switzerland, as well as in the growing markets of Brazil, Chile and Mexico. Strategic niches also performed well, such as ready-to-drink coffee with Emmi Caffè Latte, premium desserts and specialty cheese. Total sales increased by 9.1% to EUR 5.23 billion (CHF 4,745.7 million). In addition to strong organic growth, positive acquisition effects of 7.9% contributed to these results in particular, while negative currency effects of 3.1% weighed down sales performance.
Emmi was able to largely offset the effects of the significant negative currency effects and the additional US tariffs imposed. EBITDA increased significantly to EUR 541.7 million (CHF 492.3 million) (previous year: EUR 473,84 million, or CHF 430.6 million) and the EBITDA margin reached 10.4% (previous year: 9.9%).
The significant increase in sales and earnings was positively affected by the acquisition of the Mademoiselle Desserts Group, which puts the Emmi Group in a leading position in the USA and Europe in the premium desserts niche. Net profit reached EUR 249.88 million (CHF 227.1 million) (previous year: EUR 242.39 million, or CHF 220.3 million).
As a result of higher financial expenses, the net profit margin was 4.8% (previous year: 5.1%) – also within the expected range.
The Emmi Group is expecting c organic growth of 1.0% to 3.0% in 2026.
Emmi anticipates that the positive volume development will continue in all divisions. However, the significantly lower milk price and the absence of the positive one-off effect in the second half of 2025 in Switzerland will negatively impact the Group’s organic growth by around one percentage point.
“The good annual results confirm the strength of our growth strategy with a focus on growing markets and strategic niches, as well as our locally anchored business model. Indulgence and conscious nutrition go hand in hand for us, and we make both possible in everyday life thanks to our innovative strength and our premium dairy products and premium desserts. This success is due to the outstanding commitment of our Emmi teams and the close cooperation with our customers and partners,” comments Ricarda Demarmels, CEO of the Emmi Group.
