Emmi Group reports positive growth

The Emmi Group continued its positive growth dynamic in 2025 and achieved strong, volume-driven organic sales growth of 4.3% in a challenging market environment. This broad-based growth was driven by continued strong momentum with innovative concepts in the home market of Switzerland, in the growth markets of Brazil, Chile and Mexico, as well as in the strategic niches of ready-to-drink coffee with Emmi Caffè Latte, premium desserts and speciality cheese. Total sales increased by 9.1% to CHF4.7 billion (€5.2bn). In addition to strong organic growth, positive acquisition effects of 7.9% contributed in particular, while negative currency effects of 3.1% weighed down sales performance, the company says.

Due to its decentralised business model and efficiency programmes, Emmi was able to largely offset the effects of the significant negative currency effects and the additional US tariffs imposed and is proving to be very resilient. EBITDA increased significantly to CHF492.3 million (previous year: CHF430.6 million) and the EBITDA margin reached 10.4% (previous year: 9.9%). EBIT rose to CHF334.6 million (previous year: CHF302.7 million), which is within the own guidance range, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 7.1% (previous year: 7%). 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 key position in the US and Europe in the premium desserts niche. Net profit reached CHF 227.1 million (previous year: CHF 220.3 million). As a result of higher financial expenses due to increased interest expenses and higher currency losses, the net profit margin was 4.8% (previous year: 5.1%) and thus also within the expected range.

The Emmi Group is expecting continued growth dynamic with organic growth of 1% to 3% 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.
