Saudia Dairy and Foodstuff Company (SADAFCO) has announced its financial results for the SADAFCO Q2 2026 period, showing a revenue increase of 1.7% quarter-on-quarter. The Jeddah-based company reported that its core business maintained steady momentum during this timeframe.
Financial Performance and Revenue Growth
The financial results for SADAFCO Q2 2026 show that net profit attributable to shareholders rose by 7.6% to SAR 88 million. This improvement reflected higher sales, a favorable product mix, and improved operating profitability. For the first six months of 2026, consolidated revenue reached SAR 1,488 million, while net profit reached SAR 170 million.
Excluding the Polish subsidiary Mlekoma, quarterly revenue increased by 6.9% year-on-year to SAR 688 million. This growth was mainly driven by higher sales volumes across key product categories. The company maintained a strong cash position of SAR 554 million, which includes short-term investments, contributing to its overall financial stability in the economy.
Market Share and Category Leadership
The company maintained its market-leading positions across several key food and dairy categories. Specifically, it held a 59.1% market share in long-life plain milk, 51.1% in tomato paste, and 30.9% in ice cream. Additionally, the company strengthened its position in long-life flavored milk, increasing its market share to 22.7%.
SADAFCO Q2 2026 Operational Challenges
Despite positive revenue growth, net profit was impacted by several external factors during the quarter. These challenges included higher raw material costs, surcharges related to regional maritime disruptions, broader inflationary pressures, and increased fuel prices. However, the company maintained a net profit margin of 11.8% through active management.
The company’s performance during the SADAFCO Q2 2026 period was also supported by emerging channels like e-commerce and out-of-home services. These channels delivered strong value growth, helping offset some of the supply-chain risks.
Future Outlook and Strategic Focus
Patrick Stillhart, Chief Executive Officer of SADAFCO, stated that the results reflect continued progress across the core business. The company plans to continue investing in its brands and improving operational efficiency.
“Our second-quarter results reflect continued progress across our core business, with revenue and profitability improving compared with the previous quarter. We maintained momentum across key categories and emerging channels. We remain focused on investing in our brands, improving operational efficiency and strengthening our market leadership to create sustainable long-term value for our shareholders.”
