Vidrala has reported its full-year 2025 results broadly in line with expectations, demonstrating resilience despite a challenging market environment characterised by weak demand and intense competition.

The glass packaging group closed the year with sales of EUR 1,465 million and EBITDA of EUR 441 million, achieving a solid EBITDA margin of approximately 30 percent. Net profit reached EUR 220 million, while earnings per share stood at EUR 6.24. The year-on-year comparison is influenced by the disposal of the company’s Italian business in 2024, which impacts direct comparability of results.

A key highlight of the year was Vidrala’s strong cash generation. Free cash flow exceeded EUR 200 million, allowing the company to significantly reduce net debt to EUR 105 million, equivalent to a low leverage ratio of 0.2x EBITDA. This solid financial position gives the company flexibility to continue investing in long-term growth and operational optimisation. 

In parallel with financial discipline, Vidrala continues to pursue strategic expansion and geographic diversification. The Group has reinforced its international footprint through expansion in South America, notably with its entry into the Chilean market via the acquisition of Cristalerías Toro, located in the metropolitan area of Santiago de Chile. This move strengthens a strategy already established in Brazil since 2023, complementing its leading positions across Southern Europe, the United Kingdom and Ireland. 

Vidrala’s CEO, Raúl Gómez, highlighted that the results reflect the strength of the company’s business model, the benefits of geographic diversification, and a continued focus on industrial investment and cost reduction. These measures aim to keep products and services aligned with the evolving expectations of brand owners and consumers.

From a shareholder perspective, the company announced a 15 percent increase in its annual cash dividend, raising the total expected distribution for 2026 to EUR 1.7505 per share. In addition, a share buyback programme representing approximately 1 percent of share capital has been launched, reinforcing Vidrala’s commitment to sustainable value creation and long-term shareholder returns.
