The group’s turnover rose by 18% from H1/2024, to over RON1.5 billion, an evolution mainly driven by the organic growth in the distribution segment and by the companies acquired in 2024 and 2025, which generated approximatively 6% of the total revenues.
“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,” stated Catalin Vasile, Aquila CEO.
In revenue structure, the distribution and logistics business segments recorded growth of 20% and 23%, respectively, while the transportation business segment posted a 5% decline. The fastest-growing distribution channels were HoReCa and traditional trade, both with over 20% increases in sales.
Revenues from own brands increased by 20% compared to the first half of 2024, reaching nearly RON 64 million. Revenues from the own brands in the food products category (Gradena, LaMasă, and Yachtis) rose by 14%, while revenues from non-food category (JetXpert, AquaXpert, ExpertWipes) doubled.
EBITDA increased by 17%, reaching RON 91 million. Net profit for the first half of 2025 was RON 29 million, a 17% decrease compared to the same period last year, due to higher salary expenses and foreign exchange differences in the last months of 2025.
„Although the economic environment influenced by fiscal changes affects profitability, our robust and adaptable business model provides us with the necessary tools to efficiently manage these adjustments and maintain a sustainable growth trajectory over the medium and long term,” added Catalin Vasile.
Aquila Part Prod Com has a RON1.7 billion capitalization. Its shares have added 28% since the start of the year amid deals worth RON216 million.
