Metcash Limited Reports Strong Revenue Growth in 2025

Metcash Limited ( (MCSHF) ) has released its Q4 earnings. Here is a breakdown of the information Metcash Limited presented to its investors.

Metcash Limited is a leading Australian wholesale distribution and marketing company that operates in the food, liquor, and hardware sectors, supporting a vast network of independent retailers. The company has a unique low-cost distribution model that enables independent retailers to compete effectively against larger, vertically integrated chains.

In its latest financial report for the year ending April 2025, Metcash Limited reported an increase in group revenue by 8.9% to $17.3 billion, driven by growth across its Food, Liquor, and Hardware divisions. The acquisition of Superior Foods and strategic investments in infrastructure and technology have been pivotal in this growth.

Key financial highlights include a significant increase in EBITDA by 8.6% to $747.8 million, with the Food division showing strong performance due to the integration of Superior Foods. However, the Liquor and Hardware divisions faced challenges, with the latter experiencing subdued trade activity. Metcash also made strategic acquisitions and divestments, including increasing its stake in Total Tools JV stores and selling its interest in Dramet Holdings.

Despite a slight decrease in underlying profit after tax by 2.4% to $275.5 million, the statutory profit after tax rose by 10.1% to $283.3 million. The company continues to focus on strategic growth initiatives, including the ongoing Program Horizon, which aims to modernize its technical infrastructure.

Looking ahead, Metcash remains optimistic about its growth prospects, with a positive start to FY26 and continued revenue growth across all sectors. The company is well-positioned to leverage its diverse portfolio and strategic investments to drive future success.
