By: Finnish meat and food producer Atria reported first-quarter net sales of 450.3 million euros, a 7.1% increase year-over-year, according to Reuters.
EBIT rose to 13.9 million euros, with improvements in Sweden and Estonia offsetting declines in Finland, while adjusted earnings per share increased to 0.35 euros from 0.28 euros a year earlier.
For the full year, Atria expects its 2026 adjusted EBIT to come in higher than the 69.9 million euros recorded in 2025. The company cited cost inflation, an unstable pork market and animal disease risks as near-term headwinds, while noting that strong brands and customer relationships support positive EBIT development in the year ahead.
The Q1 result was driven by strong sales growth across all channels in Finland, particularly in retail. In Sweden, effective sales and marketing activity and a favourable sales structure lifted EBIT despite poultry supply issues, while in Estonia, lower raw material prices, improved production efficiency and increased animal welfare subsidies boosted earnings.
