Dia Group Achieves Impressive Growth and Profitability
Dia Group Reports Strong Financial Results
Dia Group has recently revealed its financial outcomes, showcasing a solid net profit of €38 million, indicating robust expansion especially in the Spanish market while simultaneously maintaining stability in Argentina amid economic challenges. Such results project a promising beginning for the company's new strategic plan aimed at sustainable growth.
Key Financial Highlights
The adjusted EBITDA at the consolidated level has seen a notable rise of 4%, reaching €133 million. This achievement has sustained the margin on net sales at an impressive 4.7%. Furthermore, the consolidated cash flow has hit €98 million, enabling a reduction in net debt by €43 million to a total of €199 million.
The Performance of Dia Spain
In Spain, the company has achieved a 7.5% increase in like-for-like sales, which has propelled Dia's market share to 5%. This positions Dia as the country's fourth-largest food retailer, reflecting strong competition within the market. Notably, the gross sales have surged by 8%, totaling €2,646 million, with net sales amounting to €2,202 million, marking a 7% increase. The online sales segment also exhibited impressive growth, climbing 19% year-on-year to €130 million.
Improvement in Profitability
Profit margins have also seen significant improvement with adjusted EBITDA surging by 20% to €137 million and achieving a 6.2% margin, an uptick of 0.7 percentage points. Net profit experienced a nearly doubling effect, with figures reaching €48 million. The operational cash flow is reported at €164 million, with disciplined investments of €57 million in capital expenditures, resulting in a free cash flow of €106 million—a substantial 33% increase year-on-year.
Dia Argentina's Market Positioning
Despite facing a complex economic backdrop, Dia Argentina has managed to retain a solid customer base. Although the gross sales under this banner declined by 4% to €825 million and volumes dipped by 15.6%, sales from loyal customers grew by 9%. The adjusted EBITDA showcased a less favorable position of -€3 million, primarily due to commercial investments aimed at competitive pricing, although this has been partially mitigated through effective cost-control measures.
Enhancing Brand Visibility
The company has also made significant strides in boosting its brand visibility, achieving a remarkable increase in share price which has more than doubled within the past year. The share price has improved by over 90% in 2025 alone, with daily trading volumes nearing €2 million recently. This impressive trajectory reflects the market's confidence in Dia Group's future.
