Overview

  • Molinos reported a net loss of ARS 19.485 billion in the first half of 2025 due to unit‐sales costs rising faster than price adjustments.
  • Net revenues declined 19.7% in real terms to ARS 437.5 billion despite a 1.9% increase in domestic sales volume.
  • Exports grew 21.8% and market share expanded as the firm sought to counter subdued local consumption.
  • A rigorous cost-control program delivered an 8.6% improvement in operating efficiencies over sales compared with the previous quarter.
  • Negotiations with supermarkets over price increases continue as Molinos pursues further margin optimization and operational efficiency.
