Hilton food group plc, the leading specialist international food packing business, announces its results for the 52 weeks to 28 December 2025.
Hilton Foods delivered resilient underlying performance in 2025 and the outcomes of our strategic review will result in a sharper focus on our core strengths.
Our core retail meat offering is a resilient business. Despite continued raw material inflation, the strength of our customer relationships and consistent delivery has underpinned our performance. Inflation has more materially impacted demand and profitability in Seachill. We continue to address challenges in Foppen and Dalco. Overall, we remain confident in our outlook for 2026.
Our strategic review outlines a clear plan to focus the business on its core capabilities and strengthens our confidence in delivering sustainable long-term growth. We are executing improvement plans in Seachill, Foppen and Dalco, businesses that have limited synergy with the Group’s core capabilities, to increase strategic optionality.
Growth will be driven by our core meat and fresh prepared food businesses. This is underpinned by well-invested facilities and long-term partnerships. Our strategic investments in Canada and Saudi Arabia remain on schedule. These are expected to contribute from 2027. Our strong balance sheet provides capacity to invest for growth in a disciplined way. Importantly we remain committed to our progressive dividend policy.
We delivered solid performance in 2025, demonstrating the resilience of our core meat business model.
