Safwan Thabet's Juhayna Starts 2025 Strong With 13 Million Q1 Profit

Juhaynas Q1 2025 profit rose 34 to 13 million, driven by Ramadan-fueled demand, volume growth in dairy and juice, and strategic pricing across categories.

A major internal merger added 24.05 million to gross profit, with export revenues hitting 12.04 million despite FX and pricing challenges.

Juhaynas assets climbed 17 to 318.67 million, while capital investments and expansion pushed net debt to 53.8 million amid long-term growth prospects.

Juhayna Food Industries, a prominent Egyptian dairy, juice, and cooking product manufacturer founded by Egyptian businessman Safwan Thabet, began 2025 on a strong noteposting a net profit reaching 13 million in the first quarter.

The double-digit year-on-year surge from less than 10 million achieved in the prior quarter was fueled by robust volume gains across core segments, successful product innovations, and strategic business expansion. Juhaynas ability to sustain profitability amid macroeconomic pressures underscores its operational resilience and growing influence in the North African consumer goods market.

The companys recently released financial results reveal a substantial profit increase of 34 percent, soaring from EGP479 million 9.6 million in the first quarter of 2024 to EGP642 million 12.87 million in the same period of 2025.

Revenue rose 25 percent from EGP5.44 billion 108.92 million to EGP6.8 billion 140.7 million, fueled by increased consumer demand during Ramadan, double-digit volume growth across dairy, fermented, and juice segments, and selective price adjustments. Despite economic volatility and FX headwinds, Juhaynas diverse product portfolio and brand strength helped sustain solid operating margins.

The recent merger of subsidiaries into the parent company, finalized in February, added EGP1.2 billion 24.05 million to gross profit and contributed significantly to Q1 figures. Exports brought in EGP601 million 12.04 million, supported by rising finished product sales, while the company strategically delayed concentrate exports due to global price pressures.
