The improvement in profitability came mainly from Coffee International, with the coffee JV in Brazil recording an increase of 27% in sales and of 171% in operating profit, with an operating margin of 11.3%; increase in market share in Israel^[1] 

PETAH TIKVA, Israel, Nov. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Strauss Group Ltd. (TASE: STRS) reported its financial results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, that ended September 30, 2025.

Shai Babad, CEO and President of Strauss Group: "The Group is on a growth trajectory, demonstrating improvement in profitability and increase in market share across most key market segments. Alongside continued impressive growth in our international coffee business, led by the coffee JV in Brazil, we have reinforced our beloved brands in Israel through innovation. Last month we inaugurated Michael's Campus in the North of Israel, which includes a new plant-based dairy facility at an investment of approximately NIS 270 million—a strategic investment that creates jobs, develops the local economy, and brings innovative products to market. Additionally, we launched the new 'Tami4 Shabbat' water bars and introduced the Cow-Free category, representing groundbreaking innovation in the dairy alternatives space. Today, Strauss stands in a position of strength, with growth engines in Israel and abroad, and a solid foundation for continued progress in the coming years."

Quarterly Highlights^[2]:

• Strauss Group: Significant sales growth reaching NIS 3.3 billion, up 9.6%, improved operating profit and margin, mainly from Coffee International in addition to implementation of productivity initiatives. Pro-forma growth reached 16.3%.
• Strauss Israel: Growth in sales and market share alongside decline in profit and margin, primarily in the Health & Wellness segment.
• Coffee International: Significant growth in sales and operating profit, mainly due to pricing in the coffee JV in Brazil. The coffee companies in Central Eastern Europe have established their position as # 2-3 player in the market.
• Strauss Water: Continued revenue growth alongside decline in profit and margin, mainly due to reduced profitability in Haier Strauss Water in China following intense competition.
• Innovation and new launches: Inauguration of Michael's Campus in the North of Israel, launch of Cow-Free and Tami4Shabbat.

Segment Q3 & 9M Financial Highlights

Strauss Israel

• Strauss Israel sales in Q3-2025 reached NIS 1.41 billion, up 2.7%. EBIT decreased by 7.7% to NIS 146 million (10.4% margin). In 9M-2025 sales increased by 5.9% to NIS 4.12 billion and EBIT decreased by 3.5% to NIS 394 million (9.6% margin). The increase in sales was mainly attributed to higher pricing and volumes, partially offset by divestment of the Coffee-to-Go and Ultra Fresh businesses and negative sales mix in Q3-25. Lower EBIT was mainly due to raw material cost inflation.
  
  The Group realized non-recurring loss on cocoa derivatives amounting to NIS 49 million in Q1-2025 and in 9M-2025, NIS 18 million in Q3-2024, and NIS 44 million in 9M-2024. Excluding these losses, Strauss Israel EBIT would have totaled NIS 176 million (12.8% margin) for Q3-2024 and NIS 443 million (10.8% margin) in 9M-2025 and NIS 453 million (11.6% margin) in 9M-2024.
  
  
• Health & Wellness segment sales in Q3-2025 reached NIS 821 million, down 0.6%, while the segment's EBIT decreased by 15.5% to NIS 101 million (12.4% margin). In 9M-2025 sales reached NIS 2.4 billion, up 2.5%, while the segment's EBIT increased by 5.7%, reaching NIS 302 million (12.8% margin). Sales were supported by higher volume and improved mix in 9M-2025. The lower EBIT and EBIT margin in Q3-2025 vs. Q3-2024 were mainly due to increased marketing efforts, divestment of the Ultra Fresh activity as well as one-off expenses related to quality assurance and food safety, while the improvement in 9M-2025 EBIT was mainly a result of sales growth and productivity measures.
  
  
• Fun & Indulgence (F&I) – Snacks and Confectionery segment sales in Q3-2025 reached NIS 365 million, up 12.9%, while the segment's EBIT increased by 61.7% to NIS 15 million (4.0% margin). In 9M-2025 sales reached NIS 1.1 billion, up 11.0%, with break-even EBIT. Sales in Q3-2025 were supported mainly by higher prices and slightly higher volumes, while sales in 9M-2025 reflected higher prices and volumes. Both in Q3-2025 and in 9M-2025 EBIT was impacted by higher cocoa costs.
  
  Excluding losses on cocoa derivative, as noted above, F&I EBIT would have totaled NIS 27 million (8.4% margin) in Q3-2024, NIS 49 million (4.6% margin) in 9M-2025 and NIS 84 million (8.8% margin) in 9M-2024.

Sales in Q3-2025 reflected the divestment of Coffee-to-Go and lower volumes. 9M-2025 sales reflected higher pricing and volumes. EBIT was supported by pricing, which partially offset higher green coffee costs.   

Strauss Coffee International

• Strauss Coffee International sales in Q3-2025 reached NIS 1.6 billion, up 30.0%, and EBIT increased by 139.8%, reaching NIS 163 million (9.9% margin). Sales in 9M-2025 reached NIS 4.6 billion, up 33.4%, EBIT increased by 91.3% to NIS 320 million (7.0% margin).

• Central Eastern Europe (CEE)[3] sales in Q3-2025 reached NIS 504 million, an increase of 38.1%, moderated by the impact of exchange rates. Sales in 9M-2025 reached NIS 1.3 billion, an increase of 32.5%.

EBIT was impacted by lower net income in Haier Strauss Water, despite implementation of productivity initiatives.
