Atria Q2 sales rise 4.6% on retail and foodservice demand
Finnish meat producer lifts full-year profit outlook above 2025
Finland's Atria reported a 4.6% rise in second-quarter net sales, driven by strong retail and foodservice sales in Finland and Sweden, as the meat and food producer raised its full-year adjusted profit outlook above 2025 levels, according to Reuters.
Adjusted earnings per share rose to €0.47 from €0.41 a year earlier. Growth in Finland was supported by strong retail and foodservice sales and a strong start to the barbecue season, while new product launches and a favourable sales mix supported results in Sweden.
Atria said cost pressures remained high due to geopolitical tensions and rising costs in operations and purchased services. The company cited pork market volatility and animal disease risks as near-term risks, alongside cost inflation.
Atria expects its 2026 adjusted operating profit to exceed 2025's €69.9 million, citing strong brands and customer relationships as supporting factors.
