More revenue, but lower profit for Compaxo

Slaughterhouse and meat processor Compaxo recorded higher revenue in 2025, but saw profits fall sharply. This is evident from the filed annual accounts at the Chamber of Commerce. Revenue rose by almost 6% to €634 million, while net profit more than halved to €6.5 million. A year earlier, profit was still €13.8 million. Despite the higher revenue, the net profit margin came in at just over 1%, indicating pressure on margins. Solvency declined slightly, but remained at a healthy level of 48%. Volume growth The revenue growth is partly attributable to the acquisition of the slaughtering activities of the Pali Group in Geldrop, which was completed in April 2025. Although the average asking price for pigs in 2025 fell to €1.63 per kilo, compared with €1.84 per kilo in 2024, the costs of raw materials and auxiliary materials increased by 8.2%. This indicates that the company processed more volume despite the lower market prices. The inventory position also increased. At the end of the financial year, inventories had risen to €53 million, compared with €39 million a year earlier. On balance, Compaxo shows that the company continued to grow in 2025, but that profitability was under pressure.
