G. Willi‑Food International Ltd. (NASDAQ: WILC) reported record fiscal‑year 2025 results, with revenue of NIS 610.6 million (US$191.4 million) and a net profit of NIS 90.4 million (US$28.3 million).
Revenue grew 6.0 % from NIS 575.8 million in 2024, driven by higher inventory levels and improved product availability that helped the company capture demand across its core kosher‑food distribution network. The company also benefited from stronger commercial terms with suppliers, which contributed to a higher‑margin product mix.
Gross profit rose to NIS 174.8 million, giving a gross margin of 28.6 % versus 28.0 % in 2024. The margin expansion was largely a result of the improved supplier terms and a shift toward higher‑margin items, as well as favorable exchange‑rate movements that reduced the cost of imported ingredients.
Operating profit increased to NIS 74.4 million, up 35.6 % from NIS 54.9 million in 2024, while net profit climbed 28.6 % to NIS 90.4 million. Earnings per share reached NIS 6.50 (US$1.62), up from NIS 5.07 in 2024, reflecting the combined effect of higher profitability and a stable share count.
The company’s cash balance stood at NIS 124.2 million as of December 31 2025, and its leverage remains low, giving it flexibility to fund growth. Management highlighted the construction of a new refrigerated logistics center, expected to be operational in the second half of 2026, which will expand the company’s chilled and frozen product capacity and is projected to save approximately NIS 10 million in annual operating expenses.
G. Willi‑Food continues to operate in a challenging regional environment, maintaining full business continuity amid security concerns. The company’s valuation sits in the over‑valued zone, with a forward price‑to‑earnings ratio of 31.54 compared with a five‑year average of 17.39, prompting some analysts to caution about valuation levels despite the strong earnings.
Management, led by Chairman Zwi Williger and CEO Joseph Williger, emphasized that the record results were the outcome of disciplined execution of the company’s strategic plan, stronger commercial terms, a more profitable product mix, and an expanding product portfolio. The company remains focused on exporting to the U.S. and Europe, expanding dairy processing capacity, strengthening its brands, entering new food categories, and acquiring synergistic businesses while continuing to enhance its logistics network.
