[6-K] G WILLI FOOD INTERNATIONAL LTD Current Report (Foreign Issuer)
G. Willi-Food International reported record 2025 results, with sales up 6.0% to NIS 610.6 million and the highest profit metrics in its history. Gross profit rose 8.4% to NIS 174.8 million, lifting the gross margin to 28.6% as improved terms with suppliers and customers and a more profitable product mix took hold.
Operating profit climbed 35.6% to NIS 74.4 million, helped by margin gains and the absence of a NIS 11.6 million administrative fine recorded in 2024. Income before taxes reached a record NIS 116.6 million, while net profit increased to NIS 90.4 million, or NIS 6.50 per share, up from NIS 70.3 million, or NIS 5.07 per share, in 2024.
The company ended 2025 with NIS 124.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and shareholders’ equity of NIS 655.1 million, highlighting a solid balance sheet after paying NIS 49.9 million in dividends. Management emphasized resilience amid regional security tensions and expects a new refrigerated logistics center, targeted to be operational in the second half of 2026, to support future growth in frozen and chilled products.

Insights
Record 2025 earnings, stronger margins, and a debt-light balance sheet mark a notably strong year.
G. Willi-Food International delivered record 2025 performance: sales grew 6.0% to NIS 610.6 million while gross profit rose 8.4% to NIS 174.8 million, expanding gross margin to 28.6%. Operating profit jumped 35.6% to NIS 74.4 million, reflecting both margin expansion and the absence of the prior-year administrative fine.
Net profit increased to NIS 90.4 million, with basic earnings per share rising from NIS 5.07 to NIS 6.50. Financial income remained a meaningful contributor, with NIS 33.0 million from revaluation of the securities portfolio and NIS 10.6 million from interest and dividends. The business ended the year with NIS 124.2 million in cash and NIS 655.1 million in shareholders’ equity, while total liabilities stayed modest.
Strategically, construction of a new refrigerated logistics center, expected to become operational in the second half of 2026, is positioned to support expansion in frozen and chilled categories and improve efficiency. Management also highlighted maintaining full business continuity despite regional conflict and shipping disruptions, though forward-looking statements underline ongoing risks tied to security conditions, consumer demand, input prices, and exchange rates.
