Group sales volume returned to growth in Q3, rising 5.7% year over year—the first positive quarter in more than two years—while Global Chocolate volume increased 3.2%. (Barry Callebaut)
The sharp decline in cocoa bean prices during the first half of fiscal 2025/26 should improve affordability and support customer demand, while also contributing to strong cash generation. (Barry Callebaut)
Deleveraging has materially strengthened the balance sheet: first-half free cash flow reached CHF 801.8 million and net debt/recurring EBITDA fell to 3.9x from 6.5x a year earlier. (Barry Callebaut)
Barry Callebaut’s FY 2025/26 outlook still calls for a mid-teens decline in recurring EBIT and a 1%–3% volume contraction, despite the Q3 recovery. (Barry Callebaut)
Lower cocoa prices are creating substantial revenue deflation: Q3 sales revenue fell 21.0% in local currencies as cost-plus pricing passed lower bean costs through to customers. (Barry Callebaut)
Underlying profitability remains pressured by competitive overcapacity, supply disruptions and weak Global Chocolate performance; first-half recurring EBIT for Global Chocolate fell 17.3% in local currencies. (Barry Callebaut)
