EGYPT – Juhayna Food Industries (JUFO) has reported a 19.99% year-on-year (YoY) decline in consolidated profit during 2025, according to financial statements filed to the Egyptian Exchange (EGX) on March 15th.
The company’s consolidated profit excluding minority interest decreased to US$36.48 million (EGP 1.909 billion) in 12 months to December 31st. Net sales surged to US$572.99 million (EGP 29.984 billion).
Furthermore, Juhayna reported a standalone net profit after tax of US$24.66 million (EGP 1.292 billion) in 2025, up from US$411,166 (EGP 21.527 million) in the same period in 2024.
Founded in 1983, Juhayna is an Egypt-based company specializing in producing, processing, and packaging dairy, juice, and cooking products.
In H1 2025, the company recorded net revenues of EGP 14.2 billion, up 23% YoY from US$237.71 million (EGP 11.5 billion) in H1 2024, fueled by double-digit volume growth across Juhayna’s core segments.
H1 2025 results include US$293.51 million (EGP 522 million) in FX-related expenses tied to raw material sourcing, which, if adjusted, would have brought the gross profit margin down to 28.7%. All figures stated exclude the impact of the February 2025 merger.
Gross profit stood at US$76.48 million (EGP 3.7 billion) with a solid margin of 26.4%. The squeeze mainly reflects the normalization of concentrate prices in 2025 following last year’s exceptional highs.
Throughout the period, the company delivered robust performance across its core segments and significantly expanded finished product exports, helping offset seasonal volatility and reinforcing its global brand positioning.
EBITDA was US$47.54 million (EGP 2.3 billion) with a margin of 16.5% compared to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.8% in H1 2024 (adjusted for FX-related expenses). The change primarily reflects the anticipated normalization of orange concentrate prices following last year’s exceptional highs.
Net profits were at US$22.74 million (EGP 1.1 billion) with a margin of 7.9%. Although profitability appears lower when compared to last year’s exceptional results — which were boosted by unprecedented orange concentrate prices — it remains ahead of historical levels, reflecting the company’s underlying operational strength.
The company stated, “Our strong framework and strong governance practices that have been developed over the past years, and the hard work of our experienced management team, have enabled us to achieve great success.
“We are confident that the Egyptian market will continue to recover, and we are proud to have a strong brand and a longstanding relationship with the Egyptian consumer. We are looking forward to opening additional foreign markets and expanding Juhayna’s global footprint.”
