<p>Ontex Group NV reported full year (FY) 2025 revenue of EUR 1,762 million, reflecting a 4.9 percent like-for-like decrease, driven primarily by lower sales volumes. The company experienced declining demand for baby care retailer brands in Europe and North America, which was further impacted by intense promotions from branded competitors, customer destocking, and supply chain constraints. While feminine care volumes were slightly down, adult care volumes grew by 1.1 percent, with demand in the retail channel rising by mid single digits and healthcare channel demand remaining stable. Adjusted profit from continuing operations was EUR 31 million, down from the previous year, attributed to lower adjusted EBITDA. Basic earnings per share for the total group stood at EUR (2.16), compared to EUR 0.13 in 2024. Capital expenditure for the full year was EUR 81 million, representing 4.3 percent of total group revenue, with approximately half allocated to growth and innovation projects, including capacity expansion in baby care in North America and adult care in Europe. Ontex Group NV outlined ambitions for 2026, targeting an adjusted EBITDA increase of around 10 percent, a return to positive free cash flow, and a reduction in leverage to 3 times or lower by year end. The company expects a gradual improvement in performance throughout the year, supported by new contract ramp-ups and the continued extension of its cost transformation program. New capacity in adult care is expected to become fully operational in the first half of 2026.
