Cosmetics Business Unit revenue, accounting for 11.5% of the Group's business, reached €6.7 million in Q1 2026, up 9.2% compared to the figure recorded as of 31 March 2025.
Raw material costs on sales revenue ratio, of approximately 52.2%, decreased compared to what was shown in the Interim Financial Report as of 31 March 2025 (53.5%).
Service costs increased from €5.9 million in Q1 2025 to €6.7 million in Q1 2026, representing a 13.6% growth. This change resulted from higher maintenance costs for certain plant facilities (+€143,000), increased expenses for attending trade fairs and events (+€114,000), greater spending on external analyses (+€110,000), and consultancy fees for strategic development projects (+€103,000) compared to 31 March 2025.
Personnel costs were €14.2 million, with an increase of €0.9 million compared to the same period of 2025.
As of 31 March 2026, EBITDA was €7.0 million (a 11.9% EBITDA margin), compared to €9.9 million (a 15.7% EBITDA Margin) in Q1
2025.
The Group's adjusted EBITDA was €7.2 million (12.4% adjusted EBITDA margin) for the first quarter, compared to €10.2 million (16.2% adjusted EBITDA margin) as of 31 March 2025.
The decrease stemmed from reduced fixed cost absorption, which was a result of lower volumes in the Nutra business unit. The period's performance reflected additional costs of starting the new pharmaceutical plant in Brembate, with revenue projected to rise throughout the year and improve the plant utilisation rate.
The following non-recurring expenses were incurred in Q1 2026, impacting EBITDA:
An additional €176,000 was allocated to the risk provision for salary differences;
M&A advisory costs were €90,000.

Events following the end of the periodOn April 17, 2026, Fine Foods announced that it had signed a binding agreement with Alfasigma S.p.A., a pharmaceutical company headquartered in Italy with more than 75 years of experience, to acquire all of the share capital of Sofar S.p.A., an Alfasigma subsidiary with a manufacturing facility in Trezzano Rosa (Milano).
The transaction aligns with Fine Foods' industrial strategy to strengthen and broaden its production capabilities. The acquisition allows Fine Foods to add expertise and technology for producing liquid and semi-solid pharmaceutical forms, expanding its industrial capabilities. By completing this transaction, the company broadens its service portfolio, reinforces Fine Foods' competitive role as a strategic and integrated partner, and enhances its capability to secure new projects and customers. The acquisition of all Sofar shares confirms operational and organisational continuity, while enhancing the industrial partnership with Alfasigma, which will retain ownership of products currently manufactured at Trezzano Rosa. Alfasigma and Fine Foods will keep manufacturing and supplying their products under a long-term contract.
On 22 April 2026, Fine Foods informed the Presidency of the Council of Ministers of the acquisition as required by Decree Law 21 of 15 March 2012, as converted with amendments by Law No. 56 of 11 May 2012, as amended, ("Golden Power" regulation). Under applicable regulations, the Golden Power procedure must be completed within 45 days of notification, unless suspended or extended. Fine Foods will notify the market of the results as required by applicable regulations, including the relevant regulatory framework.
The completion is expected in the first half of June.
Business outlookAs highlighted at the end of 2025, the market segments in which the Group operates are expected to grow in Europe and globally in the coming years. The nutraceutical segment focused on weight-control products is undergoing a transformation, driven by emerging trends in the customisation of food supplements to meet individual needs.
Meanwhile, the main players in the Health & Beauty sector are increasingly outsourcing, opting for integrated partners to develop and manufacture nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics solutions. This shift supports asset-light business models that emphasise advanced research and brand management.
Fine Foods & Pharmaceuticals N.T.M. S.p.A. aims to strengthen its competitive position by expanding its market share across its three core business units-Nutra, Pharma, and Cosmetics-enhancing their synergies.
The Group announced on 17 April 2026 the upcoming acquisition of all shares in Sofar S.p.A. from Alfasigma S.p.A., and Sofar's results will be consolidated starting in June, effective as of 1 January 2026. The Group is actively exploring further growth opportunities through external expansion to enhance the variety of its products, including different pharmaceutical forms and packaging options.
Despite challenges, the Nutra BU is advancing its development, prioritising quality, innovation, and value-added services. This financial year is expected to show a mixed evolution: while innovation-driven segments are growing, some categories - particularly weight management - are experiencing volume pressure, influenced by lower consumption, also in relation to GLP-1 therapies, and supply chain destocking. Quantifying the full scope of these effects presents challenges due to broader macroeconomic conditions. Nutra BU is likely to gain from new partnerships. The Group confirms its plan to boost the Nutra BU's production capacity and develop new forms and technologies. This strategy is intended to enhance its competitiveness and support growth over the medium to long term.
The Pharma BU, which grew rapidly also in Q1 2026, will focus on managing higher volumes through multi-year agreements with top international customers. The Group will keep improving output at current sites and integrate Sofar S.p.A.'s Trezzano Rosa site. Production at the expanded Brembate facility is underway, and its output is expected to steadily contribute to revenue growth throughout 2026.
Following a phase of integration, reorganisation, and optimisation, supported by targeted investments, a new cosmetics development laboratory and strengthened management, the Cosmetics BU continues to deliver positive results. Fine Cosmetics is projected towards a future of innovation and strategic partnerships in the international Beauty and Personal Care industry. Its contribution to the Group's development is expected to strengthen in 2026.
Due to the nature of the business, Fine Foods Group's revenue may fluctuate from one quarter to the next and may not always provide a meaningful basis for comparison. The order book, ongoing multi-year contracts, and the development pipeline provide visibility into business evolution and offer support for consistent profitability growth over the medium to long term.
The Group will continue its commitment to sustainability, strengthening its role as a reference partner for its customers, and provide solutions that are increasingly aligned with the growing ESG market expectations.
