Poultry producer Scandi Standard has reported both increased revenue and operating profit for the third quarter compared to the same period last year.
Revenue rose by 11.4 percent to SEK 3,723 million (3,343).
Chicken volume (grill weight) amounted to 79,000 (71,000) tons, representing a 10 percent increase.
EBITDA reached SEK 296 million (256), with an EBITDA margin of 8.0 percent (7.7).
Operating profit was SEK 185 million (153), with an operating margin of 5.0 percent (4.6).
The improvement is attributed to strong performance in the Ready-to-cook segment, where operating profit jumped by 43 percent to SEK 159 million (111).
"Performance in this business area exceeded expectations, driven by strong demand in our home markets and our focused improvement program, particularly in Sweden, Ireland, and Denmark," commented CEO Jonas Tunestål.
In the Ready-to-eat segment, however, operating profit declined to SEK 17 million (44). This was due to an increase in the price of chicken raw material, which negatively impacted short-term results, as well as previously communicated start-up costs in the Netherlands.
Net profit after tax was SEK 120 million (94), or SEK 1.83 (1.44) per share.
Operating cash flow totaled SEK 189 million (216).
Regarding the outlook, Tunestål wrote that he expects continued strong development both in the fourth quarter and in 2026.
