Message from ALFA's Chairman & CEO
"The second quarter represented a significant milestone for Alfa|SIGMA, which started trading as a pure-play branded food business on April 7th. Moreover, its positive share price revaluation trend continued during 2Q25 supported by solid operating results and an increasing recognition as a consumer-focused company among the investment community.
Noteworthy developments to accelerate consumer sector recognition include Alfa|SIGMA's reclassification within the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) as "Consumer Staples", transitioning from its previous "Industrial Conglomerate" category. This is significant because it enhances sector-specific visibility and benchmarking to complement our current shareholder base.
Additionally, Alfa|SIGMA's equity research coverage has recently expanded and largely shifted from industrial to consumer specialists.
We are proud to highlight that Alfa|SIGMA stands out as a unique investment alternative in the global food sector offering a broad portfolio of branded, high-protein products. Furthermore, Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) is a strong double-digit supported by a firm commitment to prudent capital allocation and focus on long-term value creation.
As we move ahead, corporate rebranding is another important workstream to reinforce the new identity of our business, completely focused on SIGMA. Preparations to change the Alfa name and ticker are advancing. We look forward to implementing this exciting step as soon as possible.
On the financial front, SIGMA's year-to-date Comparable EBITDA reflects effective execution and is on track with its full-year Guidance despite higher-than-expected protein input costs.
We close the first half of the year with positive momentum on the strategic and financial fronts. We will continue to build on this solid foundation, engaging with investors as a consumer industry leader, advancing our rebranding and delivering on our financial commitments.
I would like to thank our shareholders and bondholders for their support, and all Alfa|SIGMA team members for their dedication and contributions, which have been key to our success in transforming the company."
Best regards,
Álvaro Fernández
