Launched a five-year strategic plan focused on simplification, agility, and technology-driven efficiency, incurring extraordinary expenses to enable long-term profitability and competitiveness.
Completed full acquisition of The Fresh Market for USD 295 million, expanding U.S. presence and aligning with long-term strategy, funded by local bond issuance.
Advanced productivity plan implementation, generating a CLP 45 billion extraordinary effect, mainly in Chile and Argentina, aimed at streamlining operations and generating future savings.
Expanded retail footprint with new store openings in Chile, Brazil, Colombia, and digital initiatives, including AI-powered search and new apps.
Sold and transferred Bretas stores in Brazil, optimizing the store portfolio.
Financial highlights
Consolidated revenues rose 6.1% year-over-year (5.1% reported, 6.1% excluding Argentina's inflation adjustment), with growth in most markets except Brazil.
Online sales grew 11.9% year-over-year, with four of six countries posting double-digit growth and penetration reaching 10% of total sales.
Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded in the U.S., Brazil, Peru, and Colombia, but was offset by extraordinary productivity plan expenses and higher costs in Chile and Argentina; overall adjusted EBITDA margin (excluding extraordinary expenses) was 8.2%.
Net distributable income for the nine-month period increased 41.4% year-over-year, despite a negative quarterly result due to extraordinary expenses and higher financial costs.
Private label sales penetration reached a record 17.9%, with $681 million in sales during the quarter, up 118 bps year-over-year.
Outlook and guidance
Management expects the productivity plan to yield a payback within one year, with further improvements in profitability anticipated across several countries.
Continued focus on organic expansion, digital transformation, and operational synergies, with ongoing store openings and format innovation.
Improved debt maturity profile and limited foreign currency exposure, with only 5.8% of USD-denominated debt unhedged after natural hedges.
Cautious optimism for Argentina and the U.S. as macro conditions improve and new store openings mature; further guidance to be provided in 2026.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
