Orsero: six-month revenue of 860,5 million (+1,8%). Profits fall  

More revenue and lower profits for Orsero. The Milan-based multinational fruit and vegetable company closed the first half with net revenue of 860,5 million euros, +1,8%, and adjusted EBITDA of 45,6 million, -5,8%.

Net profit was 18,6 million, down from 20,9 million in the same period of 2025.
Net financial position was 142,4 million, up from 116,1 million in December 2025, due to the investment (38,2 million) related to the acquisition of 45% from the American company Trucco Holdings.

Lower income

For Orsero, “the first half-year points to a slight decline in earnings performance, in line with expectations, as a result of the lower profitability of the banana product and higher personnel costs. Despite this, the group maintained a good overall level of profitability”.
The company revised its budget projections for the 2026 financial year, “also in view of the impact of the acquisition of Trucco Holdings, as well as certain additional expansion investments and the impact on working capital arising from the new campaign for Litchis from Madagascar”.
Net revenues of 1,7-1,74 billion, Ebitda of 78-83 million and net profit of 25-29 million are now expected by year-end. Net debt is estimated at 160-165 million, +58 million.

Gdo in the spotlight

The Orsero Group is a major European player in distribution, with 300 fresh fruit and vegetable. It handles sourcing, sea transport, ripening, distribution and marketing. Most of the margin comes from distribution activities and, some way behind, from shipping (25,2 million).
About half of its revenue is generated in Italy, where 43% is destined for large-scale retail and the remainder for wholesale.
