Oatly Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

MALMÖ, Sweden, July 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oatly Group AB (Nasdaq: OTLY) (“Oatly”, the “Company” or the “Group”), the world’s original and largest oat drink company, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. Jean-Christophe Flatin, Oatly’s CEO, commented, “In the first half of the year, we made good progress on our 2025 priorities. We continue to drive cost efficiencies in our supply chain and overhead structure, and our disciplined execution of our growth playbook has seen success in our Europe & International segment, where we are seeing top line momentum. All of these steps are aimed toward our goal of consistently improved profitability. Our updated guidance reflects slower-than-expected top-line progress in our North America segment, as well as a soft macro-environment in our Greater China business. Importantly, we continue to drive additional cost efficiencies to keep us on-track to deliver on our profitability commitment, enabling us to reaffirm our adjusted EBITDA guidance.” He continued, “Additionally, we are conducting a strategic review of our Greater China business, with the goal of accelerating the growth and maximizing the value of the business.” The tables below reconcile revenue as reported to revenue on a constant currency basis by segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Second Quarter 2025 Results Revenue increased $6.2 million, or 3.0% to $208.4 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to $202.2 million for the prior year period. Excluding a foreign currency exchange tailwind of $6.6 million, revenue for the second quarter was $201.7 million, or a decrease of 0.2% compared to the prior year period. The decrease in constant currency revenue was primarily driven by decline in North America and Greater China, partially offset by strong growth in Europe and International. Sold volume for the second quarter of 2025 increased 2.8% to 140.4 million liters compared to 136.6 million liters in the second quarter of 2024. Produced finished goods volume for the second quarter of 2025 was 142.8 million liters compared to 142.0 million liters for the second quarter of 2024. Gross profit was $67.6 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $59.0 million for the second quarter of 2024. Gross profit margin was 32.5% in the second quarter of 2025, an increase of 330 basis points compared to the prior year period. The margin improvement compared to the second quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by improvements in supply chain efficiency in Europe & International. Research and development expenses in the second quarter of 2025 decreased $6.3 million to $4.6 million compared to $10.9 million in the prior year period. The decrease was mainly explained by expenses in the prior year period related to a new product launch issue in the North America segment. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2025 decreased $0.2 million to $84.1 million compared to $84.3 million in the prior year period. The Company continued to take actions to reduce overhead expenses, which was partially offset by foreign exchange movements, an increase in branding & advertising investments, and increased customer distribution expenses related to increased sold volume. Other operating income and (expenses), net for the second quarter of 2025 was an expense of $1.0 million comprised primarily of $1.4 million in costs for the Company’s strategic review of the Greater China segment. Other operating income and (expenses), net for the prior year period was an expense of $2.9 million comprised primarily of non-cash impairment charges related to the Group’s discontinued construction of its production facility in Peterborough, UK. Finance income and (expenses), net for the second quarter of 2025 was an expense of $31.9 million comprised primarily of net interest expenses of $14.9 million, fair value losses on Convertible Notes of $8.6 million, and net foreign exchange losses of $7.8 million. The finance income and (expenses), net for the prior year period was an income of $10.4 million comprised primarily of fair value gains on Convertible Notes of $23.9 million, offset by net interest expenses of $13.0 million. Net loss attributable to shareholders of the parent was $55.9 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to a loss of $30.4 million in the prior year period. The increase in loss was primarily due to fair value losses on Convertible Notes, partially offset by higher gross profit and lower research and development expenses. Adjusted EBITDA loss for the second quarter of 2025 was $3.6 million, compared to a loss of $11.0 million in the prior year period. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA loss was primarily a result of higher gross profit and lower research and development expenses. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA loss, and Constant Currency Revenue are non-IFRS financial measures defined under “Non-IFRS financial measures”. Please see above revenue at constant currency table and “Reconciliation of IFRS to Non-IFRS Financial measures” at the end of this press release.

Europe & International Europe & International revenue increased $12.7 million, or 12.0%, to $118.2 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $105.5 million in the prior year period. Excluding a foreign currency exchange tailwind of $6.6 million, Europe & International revenue for the second quarter was $111.6 million, or an increase of 5.7%. For the second quarter of 2025, the volume growth was 9.4% primarily driven by growth in the Barista products. The revenue increase from volume growth for the second quarter was offset by a price/mix decline of 3.7%. Approximately 79% of Europe & International revenue was from the retail channel for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 80% in the prior year period. The sold finished goods volume for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 amounted to 81.1 and 74.2 million liters, respectively. Europe & International Adjusted EBITDA increased $11.6 million to $24.3 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $12.6 million in the prior year period. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by higher gross profit driven by higher revenue and continued supply chain productivity. North America North America revenue decreased $4.6 million, or 6.8%, to $63.2 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $67.8 million in the prior year period. The sold finished goods volume for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 amounted to 35.5 million and 38.4 million liters, respectively. The 7.5% volume decrease was primarily due to reductions in sales to the segment’s largest foodservice customer. Approximately 59% of North America revenue was from the retail channel in the second quarter of compared to 52% in the prior year period. North America Adjusted EBITDA decreased $3.5 million to a loss of $2.4 million compared to a profit of $1.2 million in the prior year period. The reduction in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower gross profit, largely driven by lower volumes sold and fixed cost absorption, as well as higher selling, general and administrative expenses. Greater China Greater China revenue decreased $1.9 million, or 6.4%, to $27.0 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $28.8 million in the prior year period. Excluding a foreign currency exchange tailwind of $0.1 million, Greater China revenue for the second quarter was $26.9 million, or a decrease of 6.6%. The Greater China segment decline was primarily driven by a reduction in sales in the foodservice channel as the business lapped the initial sell-in of a new customer, which was partially offset by growth in the retail channel. Approximately 62% of Greater China revenue was from the foodservice channel for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 70% in the prior year period. The sold finished goods volume for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 amounted to 23.7 million and 24.0 million liters, respectively. Greater China Adjusted EBITDA loss increased $0.2 million to $0.6 million compared to $0.4 million in the prior year period. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA loss was primarily due to lower gross profit, partially offset by a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses, as the segment continued to right-size its expenses to improve profitability. Corporate Oatly’s corporate expense, which consists of general costs not allocated to the segments, in the second quarter of 2025 was $27.4 million, a decrease of $0.1 million compared to the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2025 was a loss of $24.8 million compared to a loss of $24.4 million in the prior year period. Balance Sheet and Cash Flows As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $67.9 million and total outstanding debt of $449.6 million consisting of Convertible Notes and liabilities to credit institutions. Net cash used in operating activities was $15.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $86.0 million during the prior year period, which was driven by improved operating results as well as improvements in working capital. Capital expenditures were $10.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $20.4 million in the prior year period. Free cash flow was an outflow of $25.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to an outflow of $106.4 million during the prior year period. The improvement in free cash flow was driven by decreased net cash flows used in operating activities and lower capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow is a non-IFRS liquidity measure defined under “Non-IFRS financial measures.” Please see “Reconciliation of IFRS to Non-IFRS Financial measures” at the end of this press release. Strategic Review of Greater China Business The Company has initiated a strategic review of the Company’s Greater China business. The review will consider a range of options, including a potential carve-out of the Greater China segment, with the goal of accelerating growth and maximizing the value of the business. The Company continues to operate in the Greater China market, including operating its production facility, and remains committed to its customers, consumers, and employees as it looks to accelerate the growth and maximize the value of the business. There is no definitive timetable for completing the strategic review. The Company does not intend to provide further updates unless and until the Board of Directors has approved a specific course of action or determines that additional disclosure is appropriate or required. The Company cautions that there can be no assurances that the process will result in any transaction or strategic change. OutlookThe Company's outlook continues to include the expected results of the Greater China segment. Based on the Company’s assessment of the current operating environment and the actions it is taking, the Company is refining its 2025 outlook as follows. Constant currency revenue growth is now expected to be in the range of approximately flat to +1%, compared to the prior expectation of +2% to +4%, reflecting reduced expectations in the North America segment as well as a softer-than-expected macro-environment in the Greater China segment;Adjusted EBITDA continues to be expected to be in the range of positive $5 million to $15 million;Capital expenditures are now expected to be approximately $20 million, compared to the prior expectation of $30 to $35 million; andBased on recent foreign exchange rates, the full-year impact of foreign exchange is now expected to be a tailwind to revenue growth by approximately 150 basis, compared to the prior expectation of an approximately 100 basis point headwind. This outlook is provided in the context of significant macroeconomic uncertainty and other geopolitical uncertainties. The Company cannot provide a reconciliation of constant currency revenue growth or Adjusted EBITDA guidance to the nearest comparable corresponding IFRS metric without unreasonable efforts due to difficulty in predicting certain items excluded from these non-IFRS measures. The items necessary to reconcile are not within Oatly’s control, may vary greatly between periods and could significantly impact future financial results. Conference Call, Webcast and Supplemental Presentation Details Oatly will host a conference call and webcast at 8:00 a.m. ET today to discuss these results. The conference call, simultaneous, live webcast and supplemental presentation can be accessed on Oatly’s Investors website at https://investors.oatly.com under “Events.” The webcast will be archived for 30 days.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures We use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Constant Currency Revenue as non-IFRS financial measures in assessing our operating performance and Free Cash Flow as a non-IFRS liquidity measure, and each in our financial communications: “EBITDA” is defined as loss for the period adjusted to exclude, when applicable, income tax expense, finance expenses, finance income and depreciation and amortization expense. “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as loss for the period adjusted to exclude, when applicable, income tax expense, finance expenses, finance income, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, restructuring costs, costs related to the strategic review of Greater China business, impacts related to the closure of production facility, discontinued construction of production facilities, expenses related to a new product launch issue and non-controlling interests. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to loss for the period or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS. There are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBITDA rather than loss for the period, which is the most directly comparable IFRS measure. Some of these limitations are: Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization expense and, although these are non-cash expenses, the assets being depreciated may have to be replaced in the future increasing our cash requirements;Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense, or the cash required to service our debt, which reduces cash available to us;Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax payments that reduce cash available to us;Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect recurring share-based compensation expense and, therefore, does not include all of our compensation costs;Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect restructuring costs that reduce cash available to us in future periods;Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect costs related to the strategic review of Greater China business that reduce cash available to us;Adjusted EBITDA excludes impacts related to the closure of production facility, although some of these may reduce cash available to us in future periods;Adjusted EBITDA excludes impacts related to discontinued construction of production facilities, although some of these may reduce cash available to us in future periods;Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect expenses related to a new product launch issue that reduced cash available to us;Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with IFRS. Below we have provided a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to loss for the period, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS, for the periods presented. “Constant Currency Revenue” is calculated by translating the current year reported revenue amounts into comparable amounts using the prior year reporting period’s average foreign exchange rates which have been provided by a third party. Constant Currency Revenue is a non-IFRS measure and is not a substitute for IFRS measures in assessing our overall financial performance. Constant currency revenue is used to provide a framework in assessing how our business and geographic segments performed excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and we believe this information is useful to investors to facilitate comparisons and better identify trends in our business. Above we have provided a reconciliation of revenue as reported to revenue on a constant currency basis for the periods presented. “Free Cash Flow” is defined as net cash flows used in operating activities less capital expenditures. We believe Free Cash Flow is a useful supplemental financial measure for us and investors in assessing our ability to pursue business opportunities and investments. Free Cash Flow is not a measure of our liquidity under IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to net cash flows used in operating activities. Free Cash Flow is a non-IFRS measure and is not a substitute for IFRS measures in assessing our overall financial liquidity. Because Free Cash Flow is not a measurement determined in accordance with IFRS, and is susceptible to varying calculations, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Free Cash Flow should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported on our interim condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this document. Below we have provided a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to net cash flows used in operating activities for the periods presented.
