AUGA Group Highlights Resilience Amid Restructuring Measures
AUGA Group's Interim Financial Results Reflect Strategic Adjustments
AUGA Group, RAB, recently reported its consolidated interim unaudited results for a six-month period. Despite undergoing crucial restructuring phases, the Group successfully reduced costs and improved EBITDA to EUR 6.60 million.
Financial Overview for the First Half of 2025
As of September 30, 2025, AUGA Group announced its financial performance for the half-year, revealing a gross profit of EUR 2.82 million, down from EUR 3.45 million in the prior year. However, impressive growth was noted in EBITDA, which increased slightly from EUR 6.43 million in the first half of 2024 to EUR 6.60 million this year. The net loss also demonstrated improvement, shrinking from EUR 6.87 million a year ago to EUR 4.30 million.
Sales Revenue Breakdown
The total sales revenue for the Group amounted to EUR 30.77 million during the reporting period, which marks an 11% decrease compared to EUR 34.67 million for the same timeframe in 2024. The Dairy segment significantly contributed to this revenue, driven by rising purchasing prices and improved milk yields; however, reduced crop yields negatively impacted overall sales.
Segment Performance Analysis
Examining the different segments, the Group's Crop Growing segment reported a loss of EUR 1.34 million in the first half of 2025, a decline from a profit of EUR 1.52 million the previous year. Key factors for this downturn included a 36.7% drop in recorded crop production value and a 6.8% reduction in cultivated areas. Management costs related to crop production also fell significantly, indicating a careful management strategy during this restructuring phase.
Dairy Segment Growth
In contrast, the Dairy segment performed robustly, with a 5% increase in milk production. The growth in milk yields was attributed to enhanced livestock productivity initiatives, including the transition to conventional dairy farming practices. As a result, this segment reported a gross profit of EUR 3.31 million, marking a significant increase compared to EUR 0.87 million in the first half of 2024.
Challenges in Mushroom Production
The Mushroom Growing segment, however, faced a production decline of 12% due to the exit of a long-term contractor and temporary operational disruptions. Despite these challenges, it achieved a gross profit of EUR 0.62 million, down from EUR 0.94 million in 2024.
Fast-Moving Consumer Goods Segment Performance
The Fast-Moving Consumer Goods segment demonstrated a positive trend as well, with sales revenue nearing EUR 2 million, an increase from EUR 1.42 million last year. This segment's gross profit also saw improvement, reaching EUR 0.22 million compared to EUR 0.12 million in the same period of 2024.
Cost Management Strategies
The Group has been actively reducing its selling and administrative expenses since 2024, which amounted to EUR 4.77 million in the first half of 2025, compared to EUR 5.53 million from the same period last year. This reduction is a result of strategic cost management and restructuring initiatives, aimed at stabilizing the company's financial health while maintaining operational efficiency.
