A2 Milk reported a 44% drop in net profit due to one-off impacts from the sale and purchase of large-scale processing facilities, but underlying profit improved by over 5%. The company expects revenue and underlying profit growth in FY27 driven by product innovation, new markets, and improved supply chain from its a2 Pōkeno facility, despite ongoing supply chain risks and geopolitical uncertainties.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Foodtech, and 2 sources have reported it.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must prepare for ongoing supply chain delays and a slow China market recovery that will push growth into the second half of the year. Investing in local processing like a2 Pōkeno is critical to survival and growth in infant formula and milk supply.
