FriGol reaches record revenue of R$ 4.5 billion in 2025
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) totaled R$ 323.9 million, an 81% increase year-over-year, with a margin of 7.6%.
“The best EBITDA and the best revenue in the company's history reflect the consolidation of our business model based on operational efficiency, rigorous capital management, and the strengthening of sustainable value creation,” highlights Luciano Pascon, CEO of FriGol.
Net income was R$ 156.7 million, a 28% reduction influenced by non-recurring tax effects recorded in 2024.
“In 2025 we launched the FriGol Mais Program, which has Efficiency as one of its pillars. The results obtained were extremely positive and represented 30% of our operating result, that is, of the EBITDA,” highlights Carlos Corrêa, CFO of FriGol.
The rise in prices in the foreign market had a positive impact on the results. As a result, exports accounted for 56% of revenue, compared to 52% in the previous year.
China remained the main destination, followed by Israel. Meanwhile, FriGol diversified its sales to other markets (besides China, Israel, and Hong Kong), which accounted for 14% of export revenue, a 2 percentage point increase compared to 2024.
In the domestic market, which accounted for 44% of revenue, the company remained focused on expanding its higher value-added lines — Chef, Angus, BBQ Secrets, and Açougue Completo — which recorded 11% growth in sales volume. It is worth highlighting that the Açougue Completo project expanded with the opening of 10 new stores, ending the year with 65 stores in partner supermarkets.
As a result of financial discipline and a robust capital structure, we ended the year with R$ 323.6 million in cash and leverage of 1.1x Net Debt/EBITDA, a level considered extremely healthy for the sector.
Results for the 4th quarter of 2025
In the fourth quarter, the company recorded gross revenue of R$ 1.16 billion and net revenue of R$ 1.11 billion. EBITDA was R$ 51.3 million, with a margin of 4.6%. Net income was R$ 13.5 million.
Sustainability
The year was marked by an important step in our journey towards sustainability, with the launch of FriGol Farm, a program that provides cattle suppliers with tools to carry out socio-environmental monitoring of their own suppliers, the so-called indirect suppliers, expanding traceability to more links in the production chain and contributing to mitigating deforestation.
