Management Comment

Zwi Williger Chairman and Joseph Williger CEO, commented: "We are proud to conclude 2025 with record results, reporting the highest annual sales and the strongest performance across all profit measures in the Company's history. These achievements reflect the consistent execution of our strategic plan throughout the year — including strengthening our commercial terms with suppliers and customers, focusing on a more profitable product mix, expanding our product portfolio, and maintaining high product availability to meet growing demand. Throughout 2025, we demonstrated resilience and operational excellence, delivering steady growth in sales while significantly improving margins and profitability. Our record income before taxes and net profit underscore the strength of our business model and our disciplined financial management. A key strategic milestone for the Company is the construction of our new state-of-the-art refrigerated logistics center. This advanced facility is expected to become operational during the second half of 2026 and will serve as a major growth engine for the coming years. The new logistics center will substantially enhance our storage and distribution capabilities, improve operational efficiencies, support entry into new product categories — particularly frozen and chilled products — and enable us to scale our business to meet increasing demand. We also continue to operate against a complex and evolving security backdrop in Israel and the region, including a joint military operation launched by the State of Israel and the United States against the Islamic Republic of Iran, referred to by Israel as "Lion's Roar" and by the United States as "Epic Fury." Despite these challenges, the Company has maintained full business continuity, with no material disruption to its operations, including the consistent supply of goods and ongoing distribution to customers. Our ability to sustain routine operations during such periods reflects the resilience of our organization, the strength of our supply chain, and the dedication of our employees. We remain hopeful for an improvement in the security situation and for a future of stability, prosperity, and peace across the region. Looking ahead, we remain confident in our ability to continue generating sustainable growth and long-term value for our shareholders, supported by our strong financial position, experienced management team, and strategic investments in infrastructure and product expansion".

Fiscal 2025 Summary

Sales for fiscal year 2025 increased by 6.0% to NIS 610.6 million (US$ 191.4 million) from NIS 575.8 million (US$ 180.5 million) recorded in fiscal year 2024. The Company attributes the growth in sales primarily to an increase in inventory levels and improved product availability, which supported the growing demand for its products. The increase also reflects higher demand for the Company's products.

Gross profit for fiscal year 2025 increased by 8.4% to NIS 174.8 million (US$ 54.8 million), or 28.6% of revenues, from NIS 161.3 million (US$ 50.6 million), or 28.0% of revenues recorded in fiscal year 2024. The increases in gross profit and gross margins were due to the Company's efforts to improve its commercial terms with its customers and suppliers, focus on selling a more profitable products portfolio and due to favorable exchange rates compared to 2024.

Selling expenses for fiscal year 2025 increased by 4.1% to NIS 71.7 million (US$ 22.5 million), or 11.7% of revenues, from NIS 68.9 million (US$ 21.6 million), or 12.0% of revenues recorded in fiscal year 2024. The increase was primarily due to employee compensation tied to the Company's sales performance, as well as an increase in transportation and other logistics costs.

General and administrative expenses for fiscal year 2025 increased by 9.9% to NIS 28.8 million (US$ 9.0 million), or 4.7% of revenues, from NIS 26.2 million (US$ 8.2 million), or 4.5% of revenues recorded in fiscal year 2024. The increase was primarily due to the provision for profit-based compensation to senior management resulting from the higher operating profit and the results of the share-based payment program.

Operating profit before other expenses (income) for fiscal year 2025 increased by 12.2% to NIS 74.3 million (US$ 23.3 million), or 12.2% of revenues, from NIS 66.3 million (US$ 20.8 million), or 11.5% of revenues, recorded in fiscal year 2024. The increase was primarily due to the increase in gross profit.

There were no other expenses for fiscal year 2025. Other expenses for the corresponding period in 2024 were NIS 11.6 million (US$ 3.5 million), primarily related to an agreement the Company reached with the Israel Competition Authority to pay an administrative fine. For further details, please see the Company's report on Form 6-K submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 17, 2024.

Operating profit for fiscal year 2025 increased by 35.6% to NIS 74.4 million (US$ 23.3 million), or 12.2% of revenues, from NIS 54.9 million (US$ 17.2 million), or 9.5% of revenues, recorded in fiscal year 2024. This increase was primarily due to the increase in gross profit and a reduction in operating expenses compared to sales being offset by the administrative fine of NIS 11.6 million (US$ 3.6 million).

Financial income, net for fiscal year 2025 totaled NIS 42.2 million (US$ 13.2 million), compared to NIS 37.8 million (US$ 11.8 million) recorded in fiscal year 2024.
