SAN PEDRO GARZA GARCÍA, N.L. Mexico, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sigma Foods, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: SIGMAFA) ("SIGMA FOODS") announced today its unaudited results for the second quarter of 2026 ("2Q26") and the first half of the year ("1H26"). All figures have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). 2Q26 HIGHLIGHTS
Message from the CEO "Sigma Foods delivered another strong quarter, maintaining positive momentum in operating results and strategic priorities. Volume, Revenues and Comparable EBITDA reached their highest levels for any second quarter. By region, Mexico once again delivered outstanding results driven by growth in Volume, Revenues, and EBITDA in local currency, with even stronger performance in U.S. dollar terms. Our European operations posted their strongest second-quarter Comparable EBITDA in five years, capitalizing on multi-year turnaround efforts and favorable market dynamics in the Fresh Meats business. In the U.S., EBITDA increased sequentially in 2Q26, exceeding US $50 million for the first time in the past year. Moreover, Latam achieved its fourth consecutive quarter of sequential EBITDA growth supported by ongoing operational initiatives. The first half of the year was also marked by meaningful progress on our strategic priorities. In 2Q26, we acquired Roger Wood Foods ("RWF"), a U.S.-based smoked sausage producer with a strong regional brand. This bolt-on acquisition complements our ongoing organic initiatives to strengthen our position in Dinner Sausages, a category we have identified as an attractive growth opportunity in the U.S. market. Another important strategic milestone was the continued execution of Sigma Europe's Capacity Recovery Plan. The start-up process of new bacon production lines at the La Bureba facility advanced during the quarter to partially restore capacity lost following the Torrente plant flooding in 4Q24. At the same time, construction continued at the Valencia greenfield plant, which is expected to replace the remaining lost capacity in 2027, reinforcing the long-term profitability of our European business. Consistent with a disciplined capital allocation strategy, we invested US $99 million in capital expenditures during the second quarter. We also paid the first dividend installment of US $76 million, as approved at our Annual Meeting. In addition, we executed opportunistic share buybacks during 2Q26 based on our view of the underlying value of the business. We continue to actively engage with consumer-sector investors and analysts to further strengthen awareness of Sigma Foods as a leading global food company. These efforts resulted in four new equity analyst initiations during the first half of the year, bringing total analyst coverage to 13. Broader sell-side coverage enhances our ability to reach a wider investor base and supports a greater understanding of our long-term value proposition. Looking ahead, we entered the second half of the year with increased confidence in achieving our 2026 EBITDA guidance of US $1.1 billion, supported by our diversified business model and consistent execution. Finally, I would like to thank our teams for their continued dedication and commitment. Together, we remain focused on achieving our targets and delivering on our strategic priorities."
