Simonds Farsons Cisk posted strong financial results for the first six months of the year, with its revenue rising by 7 per cent – from €54.8 million to €58.4 million.

This was Farsons’ first interim period following the spinoff  of its food business into Quinco Holdings plc in October 2025.

Its gross profit rose by 9.1 per cent, from around €24 million to €26.2 million, while pre-tax profit from its continuing beverage operations grew by 14 per cent.

It delivered a post-tax profit of €6.8 million, reflecting a higher tax charge and the absence of the contribution previously generated by its food business.

The Group has declared an interim dividend of 7c per ordinary share, up from 6.5c in the previous year, representing a total distribution of €2.52 million to shareholders.

Farsons Chairman Louis Farrugia said the interim dividend increase reflectsthe progress achieved during the first half of the year and the Board’s commitment to delivering value to shareholders.

“Our more focused business structure, strong brand portfolio and sound financial position provide a solid platform for sustainable growth,” he said.

CEO Michael Farrugia said that Farsons’ revenue and profit growth demonstrate the resilience of the business and the effectiveness of its commercial and operational strategies.

“We remain very focused on strengthening our brands, improving service to our customers, and accelerating investment in the capabilities and infrastructure that will support Farsons’ growth,” he said.

“There remains much to do, but we enter the second half with a clear direction and considerable energy behind our ambitious agenda.”
