An update from CALIDA Holding AG ( (CH:CALN) ) is now available.

CALIDA GROUP posted 2025 sales of CHF 215.9 million from continuing operations, down 5% in constant currencies, but significantly improved profitability, lifting EBIT to CHF 9.0 million and the EBIT margin to 4.2%. Core brands CALIDA and AUBADE achieved a combined 6.7% EBIT margin, supported by premium positioning, cost optimisation and a rising online share, while COSABELLA remained loss-making and is under strategic review.

Management has streamlined the group structure, reintegrated functions into the brands and plans to switch reporting to Swiss GAAP FER from mid-2026 to reduce complexity. With net liquidity of CHF 25.1 million, an equity ratio of 67.9%, a proposed CHF 0.25 dividend and a modest share buyback of up to 2% of capital, the group underscores financial discipline while targeting further margin gains and operational progress in 2026, particularly at COSABELLA.
