Kerry Group delivers strong Q3 performance with global volume growth

Kerry Group has reported a robust Q3 2025 performance, marked by 3% volume growth and an 80bps EBITDA margin expansion, outpacing end-market trends and reinforcing its position as a global taste and nutrition leader.

Despite macroeconomic headwinds and soft consumer demand across geographies, Kerry’s strategic focus on innovation, renovation, and regional investment drove solid results. The company maintained its full-year constant currency adjusted EPS guidance of 7–11% growth, signalling confidence in its trajectory.

Americas: volume growth of 3.6% was led by snacks, dairy, and bakery. North America saw strong demand for Kerry’s savoury taste profiles and Tastesense salt-reduction technologies, while LATAM growth was driven by Brazil and Central America, supported by coffee extraction investments.

Europe: achieved 0.4% volume growth, with beverage and bakery leading. Nutritional beverages and texture systems performed well, while foodservice outpaced retail. Strategic developments included enzyme capacity expansion in Ireland and a new biotech innovation hub in Germany.

APMEA: delivered standout volume growth of 4.1%, with Southeast Asia leading the charge. Growth in bakery, meat, and meals was fuelled by food protection systems, smoke and grill innovations, and local taste profiles. Continued investment in Middle East and East Africa bolstered regional capabilities.

Kerry’s performance was underpinned by strong innovation in foodservice (4.1% volume growth), proactive health ingredients, and reformulation technologies. The company advanced its bio-fermentation and taste platforms, while launching the Accelerate 2.0 programme to optimise its footprint in North America and Europe.

CEO Edmond Scanlon noted Kerry is “well positioned for volume growth and strong margin expansion” heading into year-end, with continued investment in customer-led innovation and nutritional enhancement.

The company believes its strong balance sheet and strategic agility support its long-term growth ambitions across developed and emerging markets.
