Second Quarter Fiscal 2025 Summary

Sales for the second quarter of 2025 increased by 9.4% to NIS 160.5 million (US$ 47.6 million), compared to NIS 146.7 million (US$ 43.5 million) recorded in the second quarter of 2024. The Company attributes the growth in sales primarily to an increase in inventory levels and improved product availability, which supported the growing demand for its products. The increase also reflects higher demand for the Company's product portfolio and an increase in private label sales to large retail chains.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2025 decreased by 4.1% to NIS 44.0 million (US$ 13.0 million), or 27.4% of revenues, compared to NIS 45.9 million (US$ 13.6 million), or 31.3% of revenues in the second quarter of 2024. The decline in gross profit and gross margin was primarily attributable to one-time credits received from suppliers in the corresponding quarter, as well as a lower provision for slow-moving inventory recorded in that period. Excluding the impact of these two factors, gross profit in Q2 2025 would have been higher than in the corresponding quarter, and the gross margin in the current quarter would have been similar to that of Q2 2024.

Selling expenses for the second quarter of 2025 decreased by 9.5% to NIS 16.8 million (US$ 5.0 million), compared to NIS 18.6 million (US$ 5.5 million) in the second quarter of 2024. This decrease was mainly due to a reduction in advertising and promotion.

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2025 were NIS 6.6 million (US$ 2.0 million), remaining at the same level as in the second quarter of 2024.

Operating profit before other expenses for the second quarter of 2025 decreased by 2.8% to NIS 20.6 million (US$ 6.1 million), compared to NIS 21.2 million (US$ 6.3 million) in the second quarter of 2024.

Operating profit after other expenses for the second quarter of 2025 increased by 113.9% to NIS 20.6 million (US$ 6.1 million), compared to NIS 9.6 million (US$ 2.8 million) in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in operating profit was driven by a reduction in operating expenses and the absence of an expense of 11.6 million (US$ 3.1 million) recorded in the corresponding quarter, related to a financial sanction of NIS 11.6 million imposed on the Company by the Competition Authority.

Financial income, net for the second quarter of 2025 totaled NIS 20.0 million (US$ 5.9 million), compared to NIS 2.6 million (US$ 0.8 million) in the second quarter of 2024. Financial income for the second quarter of 2025 was comprised mainly of the Company's portfolio of securities.
