AGRANA raises EBIT forecast for 2026|27 financial year
EBIT increase in second quarter 2026|27 as forecast; stabilisation of
bottom line in the ACS business area expected to continue in second
half-year 2026|27
Operating profit (EBIT) of AGRANA-Beteiligungs-AG in the second quarter of
2026|27 (1 June to 31 August 2026) came in at € 28.1 million, which, as
forecast, was significantly higher than in the same period last year
(+26.0%; Q2 2025|26: € 22.3 million).
In the first half of 2026|27 (1 March to 31 August 2026), AGRANA generated
EBIT of € 63.5 million (H1 2025|26: € 28.0 million). This very significant
increase is attributable to the bottom-line improvement in the
Agricultural Commodities & Specialities (ACS) business area. Group revenue
amounted to € 1,700.2 million (H1 2025|26: € 1,691.6 million).
AGRANA expects EBIT in the full 2026|27 financial year to be very
significantly higher than that of the prior year (EBIT 2025|26: € 3.2
million), having previously anticipated this lying within a range of € 70
to € 90 million. On the basis of the improvement in results in the first
half of 2026|27, AGRANA now revises this EBIT range to € 90 to € 110
million. Consolidated revenue is still expected to rise slightly.
Besides the war in Ukraine, the conflict in the Middle East since the end
of February 2026 has increased volatility in sales markets and price
pressure in procurement markets. The extent and duration of the associated
economic and financial consequences are as equally difficult to estimate
as those linked to disruptions in global trade.
The above guidance assumes that the conflict in the Middle East is limited
in terms of its duration and remains regional, supplies of energy and
commodities are safeguarded and that there is no massive disruption to
markets in the 2026|27 financial year. The intention is to take any
significant price increases related to commodities and energy into account
in new customer contracts.
Further details relating to the development of business in the first half
of 2026|27 and the various segments will be published by the Group as
scheduled on 8 October 2026.
