Oatly Group AB, a leading company in the oat drink industry, specializes in producing a wide range of oat-based dairy alternatives. Headquartered in Malmö, Sweden, Oatly is recognized for its commitment to sustainability and innovation in the plant-based food sector.
In its first quarter of 2025 financial results, Oatly reported a slight decline in revenue, but showed significant improvements in profitability metrics. The company highlighted its efforts in cost efficiency and brand-building investments, particularly noting progress in its European markets.
Key financial metrics revealed a 0.8% decrease in revenue to $197.5 million, though on a constant currency basis, revenue increased by 0.7%. The gross margin improved by 4.5 percentage points to 31.6%, and the net loss narrowed significantly to $12.4 million from $45.8 million in the previous year. Adjusted EBITDA loss also improved, indicating better operational efficiency.
Strategically, Oatly saw strong growth in Greater China, with a 37.6% revenue increase, driven by new customer acquisitions. However, North America experienced a decline due to reduced sales to major foodservice clients and product discontinuations. Despite these challenges, the company remains optimistic about achieving its first full year of profitable growth in 2025.
Looking ahead, Oatly maintains its 2025 outlook, expecting constant currency revenue growth between 2% and 4%, and positive adjusted EBITDA ranging from $5 million to $15 million. The company continues to focus on enhancing supply chain efficiencies and expanding its market presence globally.
