The company's Ebitda grew by 17% to RON 91 million (around €18.3 million). However, net profit for the period decreased by 17% to RON 29 million (€5.8 million), primarily due to higher salary expenses and foreign exchange differences.
Cătălin Vasile, CEO of Aquila, said: "The synergies with the acquired companies, the development of our own brands, and the focus on the channels with more attractive margins supported the results recorded in the first half of the year, in a context marked also by the completion of a new acquisition in the Hungarian market. This regional expansion is aligned with our strategy of diversifying and integrating new business lines with immediate growth potential, having a direct impact on our assumed financial objectives."
The company's growth was primarily driven by organic expansion in the distribution segment and recent acquisitions in 2024 and 2025, which contributed around 6% to the total revenues.
The distribution and logistics business segments experienced significant growth, increasing by 20% and 23% respectively.
The fastest-growing distribution channels were HoReCa and traditional trade, both with sales increases of over 20%. Revenues from the company's own brands also saw a 20% rise, reaching nearly RON 64 million (€12.9 million).
Notably, the non-food brands—JetXpert, AquaXpert, and ExpertWipes—doubled their revenues compared to H1 2024.
Aquila ensures the availability of a wide range of products in over 72,000 points of sale, including traditional stores, modern retail chains, and online platforms.
