Margins rise as G. Willi-Food (NASDAQ: WILC) posts Q2 2026 results
G. Willi-Food International Ltd. reported Q2 2026 results with stable sales and stronger operating profitability. Sales were NIS 160.5 million, roughly unchanged from Q2 2025, while gross profit rose 21.5% to NIS 53.5 million, lifting gross margin to 33.3% from 27.4%, helped by better purchasing terms, a stronger NIS and a shift to higher-margin products.
Operating profit increased 22.7% to NIS 25.3 million, or 15.8% of revenues, despite higher selling and administrative expenses linked to logistics expansion and share-based compensation. Net financial income fell sharply as prior-year gains on marketable securities did not recur, so income before tax declined to NIS 27.3 million and net profit to NIS 21.1 million, or NIS 1.5 per share, versus NIS 2.3 a year earlier.
For the first half of 2026, sales grew 4.0% to NIS 317.4 million, gross profit increased to NIS 102.5 million with a 32.3% margin, and operating profit rose to NIS 45.4 million. Net profit was NIS 41.1 million, or NIS 3.0 per share. The company reported NIS 257.6 million in cash and securities and shareholders’ equity of NIS 675.4 million as of June 30, 2026, and continued investing in a new refrigerated logistics center expected to become operational in the fourth quarter of 2026.

On
Form 6-K is a foreign private issuer’s interim report for material information published in its home market; here, the filing’s additional structural effect is to update the disclosure associated with the S-8 registration statements, rather than report a separate holder transaction.
