Sales outlook rises, profit target falls

For the first half of 2026, sales reached EUR 203.90 million, up 25.90 percent from EUR 161.90 million a year earlier, according to MarketScreener on September 23, 2026. Net income rose to EUR 36.47 million from EUR 19.45 million, while basic earnings per share increased to EUR 1.1062 from EUR 0.5896.

The stronger earnings growth came alongside higher profitability. Investing.com reported first-half operating profit of EUR 39.40 million, up 70.60 percent year over year, while the operating margin increased to 19.30 percent from 14.30 percent. The figures point to operating leverage, but the revised outlook shifts attention toward costs in the second half.

Export yogurt drives expansion

The company raised its 2026 sales outlook from more than EUR 390.00 million to EUR 400.00 million, while reducing its operating profit target from EUR 60.00 million to EUR 57.00-58.00 million, Investing.com reported on September 24, 2026. Higher energy, packaging and transportation costs were cited as the reason for the lower profit target.

Yogurt exports were the main growth engine in the first half, with sales rising 46.60 percent to about EUR 129.00 million, according to Investing.com. Kri-Kri also expects second-half growth to slow to 18.00 percent from 25.00 percent in the first half, making the margin outlook more important than the sales headline.

Kri-Kri produces yogurt, ice cream and milk and exports its products to more than 40 countries. Its investor materials describe 2026 investment plans of EUR 26.00 million to EUR 30.00 million, aimed at expanding production capacity.
