Monde Nissin sees improved Q4 2025

MANILA, Philippines — Monde Nissin Corp. reported improving profitability in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025. Preliminary unaudited results showed expanding gross margins and top-line growth in line with earlier guidance.

In a disclosure on Friday, the food manufacturing giant said its December quarter top-line results registered mid-single digit growth. The gross margin continued to expand sequentially, compared with the third quarter, reflecting operational improvements across the business.

The company also said it may recognize a modest reversal of previously recorded impairment losses in its meat alternative business. This is subject to the completion of its annual impairment review.

This follows continued progress in stabilizing the operations of Quorn Foods, its meat alternative subsidiary. This, alongside the ongoing implementation of transformation initiatives.

Monde Nissin said these developments signal improving fundamentals in the meat alternative segment. This has faced challenges in recent years amid shifting consumer demand and cost pressures.

The company highlighted its strong balance sheet and cash position, noting that these support the preservation of unrestricted retained earnings. This, in turn, provides financial flexibility to consider returning capital to shareholders.

Management said Monde Nissin may consider potentially “meaningful” dividend distributions in fiscal year 2026. This is subject to regulatory clearances and board approval.

Possible dividend declaration

The company did not provide specific figures. The firm said its capital position allows it to explore dividend declarations as one of the options for capital return.

The company said it remains focused on improving product quality, nutrition and sustainability. These are in line with its goal of supporting food security and long-term growth.

Monde Nissin is the maker of several market-leading food brands, including Lucky Me! noodles, SkyFlakes crackers, Fita crackers and Monde baked goods. It also owns Quorn, a global brand in meat alternative products with operations across multiple international markets.

Monde Nissin is expected to release its full audited financial results after completing year-end reviews, including impairment assessments. Further guidance will follow, pending approval by regulators and the board. INQ
