ALFA, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: ALFAA) (“ALFA”, “Alfa|SIGMA”) announced today its unaudited results for the second quarter of 2025 (“2Q25”) and first half of 2025 (“1H25”). All figures have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).
2Q25 HIGHLIGHTS
Message from ALFA's Chairman & CEO
“The second quarter represented a significant milestone for Alfa|SIGMA, which started trading as a pure-play branded food business on April 7th. Moreover, its positive share price revaluation trend continued during 2Q25 supported by solid operating results and an increasing recognition as a consumer-focused company among the investment community.
Noteworthy developments to accelerate consumer sector recognition include Alfa|SIGMA's reclassification within the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) as “Consumer Staples”, transitioning from its previous “Industrial Conglomerate” category. This is significant because it enhances sector-specific visibility and benchmarking to complement our current shareholder base.
Additionally, Alfa|SIGMA's equity research coverage has recently expanded and largely shifted from industrial to consumer specialists.
We are proud to highlight that Alfa|SIGMA stands out as a unique investment alternative in the global food sector offering a broad portfolio of branded, high-protein products. Furthermore, Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) is a strong double-digit supported by a firm commitment to prudent capital allocation and focus on long-term value creation.
As we move ahead, corporate rebranding is another important workstream to reinforce the new identity of our business, completely focused on SIGMA. Preparations to change the Alfa name and ticker are advancing. We look forward to implementing this exciting step as soon as possible.
On the financial front, SIGMA's year-to-date Comparable EBITDA reflects effective execution and is on track with its full-year Guidance despite higher-than-expected protein input costs.
We close the first half of the year with positive momentum on the strategic and financial fronts. We will continue to build on this solid foundation, engaging with investors as a consumer industry leader, advancing our rebranding and delivering on our financial commitments.
I would like to thank our shareholders and bondholders for their support, and all Alfa|SIGMA team members for their dedication and contributions, which have been key to our success in transforming the company.”
Best regards, Álvaro Fernández
Message from SIGMA's CEO
“SIGMA's overall performance in the second quarter reflects solid execution by our teams. Consolidated results throughout the first half of 2025 have exhibited resilient volume and positive sequential momentum in Sales and EBITDA that is consistent with our expectations. In addition, actions to recover from flood-related damages in Spain are moving forward.
Scale, brand diversification, consumer-centric innovation, and our business culture provide a robust foundation to navigate the current environment of global uncertainty. Tariffs, immigration and other geopolitical issues continued affecting consumer confidence in all regions. Moreover, we faced higher-than-expected protein input costs, mainly turkey.
In this context, it has been essential for our teams to be proactive in seeking out solutions and pursuing opportunities, empowered by the fundamental “Player-Owner” mindset that is part of our culture.
2Q25 results include 7% currency-neutral Sales growth, sequential EBITDA margin expansion and significant progress on the reimbursement of flood-related damages in Spain. Adjusting for the extraordinary gain associated with Torrente property damages, accumulated Comparable EBITDA of US $468 million represents the second highest year-to-date figure in our Company's history.
Regarding business performance by region, Mexico stands out with peso-denominated Sales growth across all categories and channels. In the Unites States, consistent growth is being driven by our National brands business (e.g. Bar-S) as well as Hispanic brands. For Europe, the temporary Torrente recovery plan has largely offset the short-term impact on volume. This is the primary focus while we permanently recover installed capacity in Spain, our largest market in the region.
During the second quarter, we announced a comprehensive plan to recover the flooded capacity and reinforce competitiveness in Europe. Projects include the construction of a new plant in Valencia and an expansion at “La Bureba”, our most modern facility in the region. Primarily funded through insurance reimbursements, these projects are expected to be fully operational in 2027.
Passion for consumers is at the core of all that we do. Moving into the second half of the year, we remain focused on executing on our strategic priorities, operating with excellence, and driving productivity to achieve our objectives.”
Advancing with purpose, Rodrigo Fernández
