Spain solidifies its position as the group’s second-largest market
Digital channels drive 62% of total sales
Strong digital focus, and financial discipline
AmRest closed 2025 with a net profit of €18.2 million, a 35% increase compared to 2024, while profit attributable to shareholders surged by 89%. The group currently operates 2,139 restaurants across 22 countries, serving over 30 million customers per month.
Profitability improves despite adverse macroeconomic environment
Barcelona, 26/02/26
AmRest reported consolidated revenues of €2,558.1 million in 2025, up 2.4% on a like-for-like basis. EBITDA reached €406.8 million, with a margin of 15.9%, while operating profit (EBIT) stood at €115.8 million.
Although EBIT fell by 2% year-on-year in absolute terms, it grew by 7.9% excluding divested businesses, achieving an EBIT margin of 4.5%. The fiscal year was shaped by pressure from labor costs and sustained high food prices; however, the company offset these headwinds through a significant reduction in impairments and financial costs. This profit growth enabled the distribution of a €15 million dividend —€0.07 per share— in December 2025.
Omnichannel model redefines the group’s commercial strategy
Digital transformation has become the core engine of the business. Digital channels accounted for 62% of the group’s total sales (excluding casual dining brands), establishing itself as the primary sales route.
This digital acceleration is paired with a value-driven strategy targeting price-sensitive consumers through menu bundles, competitive entry prices, and product innovation. During the period, AmRest also completed the sale of a 51% stake in SCM, moving its supply chain and quality control in-house. The like-for-like restaurant sales index stood at 99.5, reflecting the stability of existing business volumes. The company executed 92 gross openings and 213 renovations throughout the year.
Financial structure strengthened by lower investment and higher liquidity
Capital discipline remains a highlight of the fiscal year. CAPEX was reduced to €58 million, down from €193.9 million in 2024—a 70% decrease reflecting a more selective growth strategy.
The leverage ratio sits at 2.3x, at the lower end of the group’s target range, supported by over €145 million in cash and similar amounts in available credit lines. By region, Central and Eastern Europe contributed 61.8% of total sales, with an EBITDA of €305.8 million and a 19.3% margin. Western Europe generated €869.5 million in revenue, with Spain maintaining stable sales figures. China saw an 8.2% decline in Euro terms, though the drop was limited to 4.4% in constant currency, maintaining an EBITDA margin of 19.3%
