Marie Brizard Wine & Spirits reported H1 2026 EBITDA of €4.9m, down €0.9m from €5.9m in H1 2025, with net profit Group share of €2.1m, down €0.5m, as the group navigated a globally challenging market environment. Net revenues excluding excise duties came to €84.0m, down 4.4% at constant scope and exchange rates and down 3.0% as reported, while the gross margin ratio held virtually unchanged at 38.8% versus 38.9%. Within that total, the France Cluster posted revenues of €35.6m, up 1.2%, with a particularly pronounced second-quarter upturn of 6% to €18.6m, and the International Cluster posted revenues of €48.4m, down 8.3% at constant scope and exchange rates and down 5.8% as reported. By cluster, France EBITDA was €3.7m, close to the prior-year figure, International EBITDA fell €1.2m to €3.4m on declining Lithuanian exports to Ukraine and weaker Bulgarian Industrial Services orders, and holding company EBITDA improved by €0.4m. Net cash stood at €46.8m at 30 June 2026, up from €45.3m at 31 December 2025, with gross borrowings stable at €6.7m, and the group said it expects prevailing uncertainty and contrasting trends to continue for the rest of the year, with positive momentum in France offset by an expected decline in Eastern Europe.
