Viva Wine Group AB announced that net sales for the two‑month period from 1 April to 31 May reached 1.03 billion Swedish crowns, representing a 33.2% increase compared with the same period in 2025. The sales uplift was driven primarily by the recent acquisitions of Delta Wines and Alpha Brands, which were integrated into the group during the reporting window. Organic growth, however, declined by 8.3% year‑on‑year, a slowdown the company attributed partly to the differing timing of Easter between the two years.
Adjusted EBITA for the period amounted to 54 million crowns, delivering an adjusted EBITA margin of 5.2%. This margin was lower than the 7.5% margin recorded in the second quarter of 2025. The company highlighted that market conditions have been characterised by geopolitical and macro‑economic uncertainty stemming from the war in the Middle East, which has negatively impacted consumer sentiment and resulted in lower sales than initially expected. Additionally, Viva Wine noted a negative impact from increased freight costs and an uncertain currency environment, and it expects these factors—weak consumer sentiment, higher freight expenses, and currency volatility—to continue influencing its financial performance.
Following the release of these results, Viva Wine Group’s shares surged by more than 35%, with the stock price rising approximately 35.84% on the day, reflecting investor optimism about the acquisition‑driven sales growth despite the headwinds.
