Edita Food Industries, the Cairo-based consumer goods group led by Egyptian businessman Hani Berzi, posted strong results in the first nine months of 2025, with both revenue and profit rising sharply despite Egypt’s inflation and currency volatility.
Revenue and profit improved
According to the recently posted update, group revenue climbed 23.86 percent year-on-year to EGP14.74 billion ($312.03 million) from EGP11.9 billion ($251.99 million) in 9M 2025, driven by improved pricing initiatives, volume recovery, and ongoing portfolio refinement that have allowed Edita to sustain demand despite higher input costs.
Net profit advanced 37.64 percent to EGP1.73 billion ($36.54 million), as third-quarter net profit jumped by 78.1 percent to EGP708.14 million ($14.99 million), lifting the margin to 12 percent from 9.1 percent a year earlier.
The total number of packs sold climbed 17.4 percent to 972 million units, reflecting continued recovery in consumption, while the average revenue per pack increased on the back of price point migration and portfolio optimization.
Product innovation and new markets
Exports continued to be EDITA's primary source of revenue, accounting for over 10 percent of the total, as the company expanded its regional reach. In Morocco, sales grew by 8 percent, reflecting strength in distribution and wider retail coverage.
Edita has also advanced in innovation, forging ahead with new investments to boost the capacity of its production. In October, the company signed an EGP320 million ($6.78 million) asset purchase agreement to acquire new machinery, including two cake and two bakery lines, a move expected to raise total capacity by about 15 percent.
Berzi's plans for the region
Edita, founded by Berzi in 1996, is one of Egypt's top snack food makers. Its balance sheet showed a major improvement as of Sept. 30, 2025. Total assets went up 34.8 percent to EGP13.81 billion ($292.4 million) from EGP10.24 billion ($216.9 million) a year earlier.
The company's total equity also went up by 24.6 percent, from EGP4.16 billion ($88.1 million) to EGP5.18 billion ($109.7 million). This indicates that the company is making a lot of money and is still investing in expanding its capacity.
Hani Berzi owns 45.07 percent of Edita through Quantum Invest BV, which is worth EGP7.52 billion ($159.24 million). The company is becoming even more dominant in Egypt and expanding into other parts of the region under Berzi's leadership.
