Akola Group 2025 Q2 financial review
Wraps up FY 2024/2025 on a high note
Akola Group closed the 2024/2025 financial year with a successful quarter. The main driver of results growth remained the gross margin, which was 3% higher than in the same period last year (12.4% in Q2 2024, 15.8% in Q2 2025). In Q2 2025, gross profit grew by 38%, while revenue growth reached 9% compared to the previous year. The annual gross profit margin reached a record level.
Gross profit
In the fourth quarter of 2024/2025 (Q2 2025), the fastest growth was recorded in the farming segment’s revenue, mainly driven by milk and beef cattle farming. However, due to weaker profitability in cereals and other crop cultivation, this segment’s quarterly operating result was 24% lower than last year.
The partners for farmers segment showed the strongest operating profit growth this quarter (driven by a very low Q2 2024 base). Still, the food production segment remained the top performer in absolute terms, with poultry operations delivering the strong results due to higher profitability.
Results by segments, 2024/2025 Q4 (2025 Q2)
Funds from operations nearly doubled in the fourth quarter of 2024/2025 (Q2 2025), generating positive free cash flow. However, it was not enough to fully offset the negative outflow from H2 2024, keeping annual free cash flow in negative territory.
