Insights

JBS delivers record 2025 sales and higher earnings, but with thinner margins and higher leverage.

JBS grew 2025 net sales to $86,184.2 million from $77,182.5 million, with net income attributable to JBS up to $2,024.3 million and EPS rising to $1.89. Most major business units reported record or higher sales, confirming the benefits of its multi-geography, multi-protein model.

However, IFRS Adjusted EBITDA declined to $6,831.4 million, with margin compressing to 7.9% from 9.3%, as cattle and other input costs outpaced pricing in several regions. Net Debt / Adjusted EBITDA increased to 2.39x, above the prior 1.89x, though still within the stated long-term target range.

Free cash flow was mixed: $989.8 million in Q4 contrasted with $400.2 million for the full year after meaningful capex and shareholder distributions. At the same time, ROE of 25.3% and ROIC of 17.4% remained robust. The newly declared US$ 1 per share dividend adds a clear cash-return component on top of operational performance disclosed for the period.

“In the fourth quarter and full year 2025, JBS reported record sales, with top-line growth across all business units, reflecting the strength of the Company’s multi-geography and multi-protein platform. Net income totaled US$415 million in the quarter and US$2 billion in 2025, representing year-over-year growth of 1% and 15%, respectively. Free cash flow totaled US$990 million in the quarter and US$400 million for the year. Return on equity (ROE) reached 25%, while return on invested capital (ROIC) was 17%. Leverage ended the fourth quarter at 2.39x, in line with the Company’s long-term target.”, said Gilberto Tomazoni – Global CEO.

 

JBS Beef North America reported record sales both in the quarter and in 2025. Resilient U.S. demand supported this performance, even with cutout values remaining at historically high levels. However, in both periods, the increase in cattle prices outpaced the change in cutout values, reflecting tighter cattle availability amid the ongoing U.S. cattle cycle. In addition, live cattle imports from Mexico were restricted beginning in May 2025, further constraining supply in the U.S. market for much of the year. As a result, margins remained under pressure in the fourth quarter and throughout 2025.

 

Pilgrim’s Pride performance reflects the progress and benefits of its long-term strategies. Results in the U.S. demonstrate the strength of its operations and disciplined management. The U.S. Fresh portfolio benefited from strong demand, while Key Customer demand remained solid. The portfolio continues to evolve, becoming more resilient and balanced to capture market opportunities while mitigating risks. The Fresh business outpaced industry growth, and diversification through branded offerings reached a milestone as Just Bare® achieved one billion dollars in sales. In Europe, results continued to improve, supported by manufacturing optimization, management integration, and a better product mix, with positive Key Customer demand and new launches. Despite a challenging scenario in the live commodity market during the quarter, Mexico increased sales and volume compared to 2024. The company continues investing to expand its geographic footprint and grow its prepared foods presence.

 

JBS Brazil reported record sales in both the quarter and the year, growing 26% and 21%, respectively. Higher prices partially offset the sharp increase in cattle costs during the period. Even in this context, the Company recorded the highest slaughter volume in its history. In the export market, strong global demand combined with geographic diversification drove performance, boosting sales across several strategic regions while also enabling the development of new markets. In the domestic market, results reflected stronger brand equity, solid commercial execution, improved service levels, and continued value-added offerings through Friboi+ (supermarket butcher specialization program). The fourth quarter was particularly strong, with robust demand for barbecue cuts. Friboi was once again recognized as Top of Mind, winning the meat category for the sixth consecutive time and reinforcing its leadership in Brazil.

 

Seara delivered sales growth both in the quarter and in 2025, driven by higher volumes and prices. In the export market, the Company achieved the highest export volume in its history, despite temporary restrictions in key markets such as China and Europe following a single avian influenza case in Brazil in May. In the domestic market, sales performance reflected strong commercial execution, continued brand strengthening, and ongoing innovation, adding greater value to the portfolio. Seara reached a 93% household penetration in Brazil and record-high repurchase rates. As a result, Seara reported solid performance, reinforcing the consistency of its strategy and operational discipline.

 

JBS USA Pork also reported record net sales for the year and its highest fourth-quarter net sales, supported by strong domestic market performance driven by solid demand and the Company’s continued efforts to expand its value-added and branded product portfolio. Solid demand, combined with controlled costs and strong operational execution, resulted in margins in line with historical levels, both in the quarter and for the year. In addition, in 2025, the Company announced the expansion of its pre-cooked bacon and breakfast sausage production through the acquisition of a plant in Iowa, as well as a new facility (organic expansion) announced in the second quarter in the same state.

 

JBS Australia net sales growth in 4Q25 and full-year 2025 was primarily driven by higher prices in both domestic and export markets and was also supported by increased volumes. The beef segment was the primary driver of the year-over-year improvement in profitability in both periods. Strong commercial dynamics, combined with continued operational efficiency gains, more than offset the approximately 30% year-over-year increase in cattle costs in Q4 and the roughly 20% year-over-year increase in 2025, according to Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA). In the other segments, EBITDA improved, particularly in pork and fish, driven by operational execution and higher productivity.

 

Free Cash Flow & Leverage

 

Cash generation in the quarter totaled $990 million, driven by improved working capital, mainly reflecting deferred livestock payments. For the full year, free cash flow totaled $400 million. Our leverage ended the quarter at 2.39x, in line with our long-term financial target. As always, we maintained discipline and responsibility, ensuring sound capital allocation and a solid balance sheet.

A link for the webcast of the conference call is available on the JBS Investor Relations website at https://ir.jbsglobal.com/, where a replay of the live webcast and the accompanying slides will also be available, as well as other supplemental data, such as the press release and financial information .

This press release is being made in respect of JBS N.V. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “JBS Group”).

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

We make statements about future events that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Such statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our Management and information to which the Company currently has access. Statements about future events include information about our current intentions, beliefs or expectations, as well as those of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors and Officers.

 

Forward-looking statements may include information on possible or presumed operating results, as well as statements that are preceded, followed or that include the words “believe,“ “may,” “will,” “continue,” “expects,“ “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” or similar expressions.

 

Forward-looking statements and information are not guarantees of performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions because they refer to future events, depending, therefore, on circumstances that may or may not occur. Future results and shareholder value creation may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that will determine these results and values are beyond our ability to control or predict.

 

IFRS and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This release is prepared under IFRS and also includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are not calculated in accordance with any generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and should not be viewed as substitutes for IFRS metrics such as net income, operating cash flow, or other measures of operating performance or liquidity.

 

We present non-GAAP financial measures to provide additional information that we believe is useful and meaningful to investors. However, such measures do not have standardized definitions and may therefore not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should always be considered together with, and not as alternatives to, the financial results reported in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

 

Additionally, the consolidated US GAAP figure includes non-audited accounting GAAP adjustments in Seara and JBS Brazil, in addition to the Business Units that already report under US GAAP.

JBS grew in 2025, with net sales reaching $86,184.2 million versus $77,182.5 million in 2024. Net income attributable to JBS increased to $2,024.3 million and earnings per share rose to $1.89, reflecting higher profitability despite some margin pressure.

What dividend did JBS (JBS) announce in this 6-K filing?

JBS approved a US$ 1 per share dividend, payable on June 17, 2026. Shareholders of record at the close of trading on May 18, 2026 are entitled to receive it, providing a direct cash return in addition to reported earnings growth for 2025.

JBS saw margin compression in 2025. IFRS Adjusted EBITDA declined to $6,831.4 million from $7,191.9 million, with margin narrowing from 9.3% to 7.9%. Higher cattle and input costs, especially in beef segments, weighed on overall profitability despite record sales.

How strong was JBS’s free cash flow in 2025?

JBS generated solid but uneven free cash flow. Free cash flow was $989.8 million in the fourth quarter, versus $906.4 million a year earlier, but totaled $400.2 million for the full year after significant capex, interest and lease payments, down from $2,331.5 million in 2024.

Which key return metrics did JBS (JBS) report for 2025?

JBS reported robust return metrics, with last-twelve-month return on equity at 25.3% versus 22.1% in 2024. Return on invested capital was 17.4%, slightly below 18.2% a year earlier, supported by strong operating income relative to average net debt and equity levels.
