Grupo Nutresa reported strong financial results for the year ending December 2025, citing robust sales growth, improved margins and a significant increase in adjusted net profit. The positive performance aligns with the company’s ongoing transformation strategy focused on efficiency and sustainable value creation.
The food conglomerate recorded sales of $20.6 trillion, a 10.7% increase compared to 2024. This growth was driven by geographic diversification, the strength of its brands and market leadership positions, and the reach of its distribution network.
Grupo Nutresa recently approved the issuance of preferential shares, raising questions about potential buyers.
The positive momentum was evident in both Colombia and international markets, demonstrating broad-based growth across key categories and regions.
International Performance Drives Growth
International sales reached $8.3 trillion, representing a growth of 11.9% and accounting for 40.4% of the company’s total consolidated sales, according to a company statement.
Revenue in U.S. Dollar terms totaled US$2.2 billion, a 31.3% increase, reflecting both organic growth and favorable exchange rate effects. Coffee (56.6%), chocolates (50.1%), and biscuits (25.2%) were key contributors to the company’s international performance.
These businesses were instrumental in driving results outside of Colombia.
In the Colombian market, sales totaled $12.3 trillion, a 9.9% annual increase, representing 59.6% of total revenue. Growth in Colombia was consistent across all eight of the holding company’s main businesses, with particularly strong performance in coffee (29%), ice cream (12%), biscuits (9.3%), and chocolates (9.2%).
“This performance reaffirms the strength of the portfolio in the local market and the ability to execute commercial strategies across different categories,” the company indicated.

Nutresa incurred $534 billion in restructuring costs during its organizational transformation process, which began in early 2025. These costs were considered non-recurring. Including these expenses, reported EBITDA was $2.9 trillion.
