Raventós Codorníu has posted the strongest EBITDA in its history. Sales reached a new high despite volatile markets and record costs, while net profit is expected to rise 17%.

Raventós Codorníu posted the strongest operating result in its history. The company closed the July 2025 to June 2026 financial year with EBITDA of 46 million euros, 5% above the previous year. Net profit is expected to rise 17%, reaching 14 million euros and setting another company record.

Gross sales reached 234 million euros, up 1% at constant exchange rates. Net revenue stood at 197 million euros, also 1% higher than in the previous financial year. The results came as global markets remained volatile and costs hit historic levels. EFE and Europa Press, citing company figures, both described the result as a record for the group. Europa Press reported that Raventós Codorníu’s EBITDA margin reached 23%, a historical high for the group.

The comparison with the years before the pandemic is even stronger. Sales are now more than 20% higher than then, while EBITDA has risen 77%. Net profit has moved from a loss of 11 million euros in 2018-19 to a projected gain of 14 million euros.

EBITDA has more than doubled since 2019-20, growing by 130% over six years.

Raventós Codorníu credits the progress to its focus on higher-value products, supported by tighter financial management. The company also cites sustainability. CEO Sergio Fuster said the figures show that this approach has helped the group lift sales to record levels while raising operating profitability again.

The record results come as Carlyle remains the majority shareholder and the group is still involved in a sale process, El Mundo reported. Sergio Fuster has also announced plans to divest non-core assets. The company is looking at strategic acquisitions to support further growth, El Mundo and El Periódico reported.

The company's financial profile also fits into a wider Spanish debate about how corporate performance is measured and rewarded. An earlier Ibex 35 pay analysis examined the growing role of variable pay in listed companies. For Raventós Codorníu, the clearest evidence lies in its six-year progress, not in a single annual increase.

The group sells more than 55 million bottles a year in more than 63 countries. Cava makes up 59% of its portfolio. Wine accounts for 39%, while non-alcoholic and low-alcohol beverages make up the remaining 2%.

Sales are split between Spain and international markets. Spain provides 57% of sales, while international business accounts for 41%. Digital channels contribute the remaining 2%. The figures show that the company draws revenue from several routes, with no single one dominating completely.

El Periódico reported that the group sold 55 million bottles during the year, two million fewer than in 2024-25. Revenue rose despite the lower volume. That fits the company's focus on higher-value products, although the reported figures do not separately show how much came from prices, product mix or currency effects.

Raventós Codorníu has restored profitability and moved beyond its pre-pandemic position. Record sales are only part of the picture: revenue rose, and EBITDA increased by 130% over six years. Those figures show measurable gains alongside the group's focus on higher-value products. Net profit is projected to reach 14 million euros, compared with a loss of 11 million euros in 2018-19.
