Organic growth met the company’s target during the first quarter as ARYZTA reported €523m in revenues
The beginning of 2025 saw stable operations at ARYZTA AG as they reported organic first-quarter growth at 1.6 percent. The company aims to reach low to mid-single digit organic growth during the complete fiscal year and the reported Q1 figures match this objective.
What drove ARYZTA’s organic growth?
- Group revenue hit €523 million, up 1.8%, with positive organic growth despite tough consumer markets.
- The European segment provided 2.0% organic growth to the company through enhanced product volumes combined with pricing improvements.
- The Rest of World segment experienced 1.6% decline because March promos started late during the quarter.
A closer look at the numbers
- Volume growth: +1.0%
- Pricing impact: +0.9%
- Mix impact: -0.3%
The European segment achieved 2.0% organic growth through increased volume sales of +1.6% combined with +0.7% price improvements and a -0.3% mix variation.
ARYZTA Rest of World recorded -1.6% organic growth because of a -3.6% drop in volume yet +2.3% improved prices with stable mix remaining at -0.3%.
CEO Michael Schai’s view
ARYZTA initiated its business term with organic growth numbers that met our target objectives. Europe performed well. The Rest of World segment registered a negative performance because promos occurred during a specific period. The company maintains strong conviction about its prospective growth trajectory during both medium and long-term periods.
