Kerry Group PLC on Thursday said it delivered good performance, citing volume growth and ‘strong’ margin expansion. The Tralee, County Kerry-based provider of nutrition products reported on-year volume growth of 3% in the first nine months of 2025, outpacing end markets, alongside ‘strong’ margin expansion and reaffirmed full-year guidance. Pricing was up 0.2%, and the earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation margin improved by 90 basis points. Kerry said: ‘The food and beverage market environment across the period reflected soft consumer demand, given macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty across different geographies. Customer innovation centred around new and differentiated flavour combinations, products with functional health benefits and relative value options. Renovation activity continued to be a key feature of customer engagement, primarily focused on enhancing product nutritional profiles.’ Chief Executive Edmond Scanlon said the group achieved ‘good growth in the Americas’, supported by product launch activity, and continues to invest in bio-fermentation, taste technology, and regional capacity expansion. Kerry shares were 3.7% higher at €82.25 each on Thursday morning in Dublin. Copyright 2025 Alliance News Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
