G. Willi‑Food International reported third‑quarter 2025 results, posting sales of NIS 152.8 million (US$ 46.2 million) and gross profit of NIS 43.1 million (US$ 13.0 million), a 28.2 % gross margin. Operating profit rose to NIS 18.3 million (US$ 5.5 million) and net profit fell to NIS 19.2 million (US$ 5.8 million), translating to earnings per share of NIS 1.4 (US$ 0.4). Cash and securities at quarter‑end were NIS 225.4 million (US$ 68.2 million).
Compared with the same quarter last year, sales were unchanged, but the company improved its gross margin from 27.5 % to 28.2 % and its operating margin from 12.0 % to 12.6 %. Net profit and EPS, however, slipped from NIS 20.8 million (US$ 6.3 million) and NIS 1.5 (US$ 0.5) to NIS 19.2 million and NIS 1.4, respectively, reflecting a modest decline in profitability despite margin expansion.
The margin gains stem from stronger pricing power and favorable exchange rates that lowered import costs, while the flat sales figure is attributed to the company’s ability to maintain volume in its core product lines despite a quarter with three fewer working days. Management noted that the cessation of the war in Gaza and the depreciation of the Israeli shekel helped secure lower input prices, offsetting the impact of the reduced calendar days.
The company also highlighted progress on a new refrigerated logistics center, which is on schedule and expected to open toward the end of the first quarter of 2026. The facility will increase distribution capacity, support entry into new product categories such as frozen and chilled foods, and deliver cost efficiencies that are expected to reinforce future growth in the global kosher food market. Zwi Williger, Chairman, said the logistics center will "enhance our logistical capabilities to support entry into new food categories, increase product availability, expand existing lines, and achieve meaningful cost efficiencies."
No analyst consensus estimates were available for the quarter, and the market reaction to the results has not been reported. Management expressed confidence in the company’s strategic trajectory, emphasizing continued focus on cost discipline and operational resilience.
