NZX-listed wine maker and exporter, Delegat Group, this week reported a credible FY25 result, with sales revenues of $349.6 million, down 7% on FY24, operating EBITDA of $116.5 million, down 9% on FY24, and Operating NPAT of $51.1 million, down 14% on FY24.

The Reported NPAT of $49.0 million is up 56% on FY24, primarily driven by NZ IFRS requirement to value biological assets at their market value, as opposed to their cost to grow. This year’s adjustment for biological assets resulted in a write-up of $9.4 million compared to a write-down of $5.0 million in FY24, and the non-recurring adjustment for removing the ability to depreciate commercial buildings for tax purposes of $13.0 million in FY24.

Delegat Chief Executive Officer, Murray Annabell, says the Group achieved global sales of 3.2 million cases in 2025, 12% lower than the previous year.

The Group achieved record operating cashflows of $105.7 million in FY25, which enabled the repayment of debt of $31.5 million. The Group has a strong balance sheet and successfully refinanced its existing $420 million syndicated banking facilities in June 2025.
