NewPrinces H1 2026 slides: margins improve as integration advances
NewPrinces Group released its first-half 2026 financial results on September 15, revealing a strong recovery in operational performance following recent acquisitions and efficiency improvements. The company operates across pasta, dairy, canned foods, and beverages, reporting €3.04 billion in revenue, up 131.2% year-over-year. EBITDA expanded to €171 million, a 64% increase from the previous year, with margins expanding to 5.6%.
The company's full-year EBITDA guidance remained €330-350 million. Revenue growth was driven primarily by the acquisition of GS retail operations in December 2025, which contributed €1,653.9 million in the period. Manufacturing segment showed strong organic growth, with Drinks up 35% to €251.8 million. Dairy products declined 16% to €137.4 million, driven largely by price reductions.
The company's liquidity remained solid at €1.4 billion at June 30, 2026. Revenue breakdown showed Italy as the dominant market at €1,902.7 million, up from €206.8 million in the prior year. The tomato processing campaign was highlighted as a major success, with production more than doubling to 220,000 tons and 100% of expected output pre-sold.
NewPrinces accelerated its real estate investments, acquiring 14 properties by July 2026, bringing total acquisitions to 25 properties for €96.6 million.
