Cairo Poultry Company S.A.E. has posted exceptional financial results for the first half of 2025, reflecting both strong operational performance and strategic decision-making. The company announced a consolidated net profit of EGP 1.654 billion, which represents a remarkable 46.82% increase compared to the EGP 1.121 billion recorded in the same period of 2024. This significant growth highlights the company’s ability to adapt to changing market dynamics, control costs, and maximize production efficiency despite economic challenges.
Revenues also experienced a notable upturn, rising to EGP 7.882 billion from EGP 6.799 billion a year earlier. This surge was fueled by higher market demand for poultry products, effective marketing campaigns, and an increase in production output. The company’s earnings per share rose from EGP 2.34 to EGP 3.46, indicating that the improved profitability is directly translating into greater returns for shareholders.
While the consolidated performance was impressive, the standalone figures told a different story. Standalone net profits fell sharply to EGP 33.9 million, down from EGP 96.15 million in the first half of 2024. Standalone revenues also dropped to EGP 692.1 million compared to EGP 769.8 million in the same period last year. This contrast suggests that much of the company’s growth has come from subsidiary contributions and the broader group’s integrated operations rather than from the core standalone business alone.
The foundation for the strong half-year results was laid in the first quarter of 2025. By the end of March, Cairo Poultry had already recorded double-digit revenue growth compared to the same period the previous year. Net earnings for Q1 rose even more sharply, driven by increased sales volumes, improved production processes, and tighter cost control. This early momentum positioned the company to maintain a high growth pace throughout the second quarter.
A key strength for Cairo Poultry lies in its vertically integrated business model. The company oversees every stage of the poultry value chain, from breeder farms and hatcheries to broiler raising, feed production, and processing facilities. This level of integration provides better quality control, cost efficiency, and supply stability, enabling the company to meet customer demand consistently while safeguarding its margins against market fluctuations.
Strategic partnerships have also played a pivotal role in driving growth. Recently, Cairo Poultry and its sister company Cairo Feed entered a franchise agreement with a leading European agribusiness group. This deal grants exclusive rights to manufacture, market, and distribute premium animal feed brands in Egypt and the Gulf region. The agreement also provides advanced technical support, rigorous quality assurance measures, and specialized staff training. The company expects this collaboration to significantly expand its market share and potentially double its animal feed sales in the near future.
Looking ahead, Cairo Poultry appears well positioned to sustain its upward trajectory during the remainder of 2025. While the decline in standalone performance highlights areas that require attention, the company’s strong group-wide results, operational efficiencies, and expansion into new markets offer a solid foundation for continued success. If current trends persist, Cairo Poultry is likely to strengthen its standing as one of the region’s most competitive and profitable poultry producers.
