Grupo Gloria's Revenue Grows Amidst Increased Sales and Operational Efficiency

In the first quarter of 2026, Leche Gloria S.A., a leading Peruvian dairy company, experienced significant growth in its financial performance. The company's net sales rose by 15.3%, amounting to S/ 1,185.1 million, compared to the same period in 2025. This increase was primarily driven by higher domestic sales of evaporated milk, dairy derivatives, and beverages, strengthening its position in the mass consumption market.

The cost of sales grew by 14.0%, reaching S/ 908.9 million, which was lower than the revenue growth, allowing for improved profitability. The gross profit margin increased to 23.3% from 22.4% a year earlier, with gross profit climbing nearly 20% to S/ 276.2 million.

Despite increased commercial activity, selling and distribution expenses were controlled, totaling S/ 94.3 million or 8.0% of sales, down from 8.2% the previous year. Administrative expenses were S/ 51.0 million, accounting for 4.3% of sales, compared to 4.7% in 2025.

The operational profit rose by 32.7% to S/ 139.9 million, but non-operational results were negatively impacted by a S/ 11.0 million foreign exchange loss and increased financial expenses of S/ 25.2 million due to higher debt levels. Total debt reached S/ 1,551.8 million, with 94.5% in long-term obligations.

The net profit increased by 7.8% to S/ 82.7 million, highlighting the influence of financial factors on final outcomes. The company's total assets were valued at S/ 4,696.2 million by March 2026, with current assets comprising 37.5%. Investments in productive assets continued, reaching S/ 144.5 million by quarter-end, aimed at equipment renewal and production capacity expansion.
