Société de Fabrication des Boissons de Tunisie (SFBT) Holds Ordinary General Meeting
The Société de Fabrication des Boissons de Tunisie (SFBT) held its Ordinary General Meeting on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, to review the results of the 2025 financial year. In an economic and international environment marked by strong tensions, the Group confirms the robustness of its economic model, the resilience of its governance, and the acceleration of its sustainable development strategy.
2025 Financial Year: Solid Financial Performance Driven by Rigorous Management Discipline
In 2025, the SFBT Group recorded a consolidated turnover of 843.4 million dinars, up 0.8% despite a constrained consumption context. This evolution was accompanied by a significant improvement in profitability thanks to optimized cost management and enhanced operational efficiency. The consolidated net result increased by 10.6% to 267.2 million dinars, while the Gross Operating Surplus (EBE) stood at 262.5 million dinars, representing 31.1% of turnover. The return on equity (ROE) reached an exceptional level of 36.14%, confirming the structural quality of the Group's economic model.
Financial Solidity
Beyond its financial performance, SFBT continues to distinguish itself through its remarkable financial solidity:
- Almost total banking independence: with a total balance sheet of 1.33 billion dinars, equity represents 75.7% of the Group's financial structure, or over 1 billion dinars. Bank loans remain symbolic, limited to 2,433 dinars.
- Strong self-financing capacity: net available cash reached 438.2 million dinars, enabling the Group to fully finance its investments, which amounted to 31.5 million dinars in 2025.
- Among the most solid financial ratios on the market: with a current ratio of 4.0 and all regulatory indicators in the green, SFBT continues to strengthen the confidence of investors, financial partners, and Tunisian savers.
ESG and Social Responsibility: A Structuring Ambition at the Service of Territories
SFBT continues to integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria at the heart of its development strategy. The Group consolidates its alignment with the best international standards through its ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 22000, ISO 27001, and ISO 50001 certifications, as well as its financial certification MSI 20000, held since 2008.
Environmental Transition and Energy Efficiency
SFBT strengthens its actions in favor of preserving natural resources and energy transition:
- Water savings: 63,181 m³ of water were saved in 2025, twice the level recorded previously.
- Solar energy: the solar power plants installed in Médenine produced 1,380,706 kWh of green energy in just six months, confirming the Group's decarbonization trajectory.
Territorial Impact and Citizen Engagement
With an industrial network composed of 23 sites in 15 governorates, SFBT actively contributes to regional economic dynamism and territorial development. In 2025, this commitment was notably translated into:
- Renovation of two schools in Kasserine;
- Support for local cultural life through the relaunch of the Ksour Festival after five years of interruption.
Human Capital and Social Stability
As a major employer in Tunisia with nearly 6,000 employees, SFBT continues its policy of valuing skills and continuous training. In 2025, 4,260 participations were recorded in internal training programs, representing an average of 10.16 hours of training per employee. The Group also maintained its price stability policy, engaged since February 2024, contributing to preserving the purchasing power of Tunisian consumers in an inflationary context.
2026 Outlook: Strengthening Resilience and Accelerating Diversification
In an international environment marked by geopolitical uncertainties and persistent trade tensions, SFBT intends to continue strengthening its competitiveness and operational resilience in 2026. The Group will focus on:
- Cost optimization;
- Continuous productivity improvement;
- Consolidation of its national distribution network;
- Acceleration of strategic investments.
SFBT will also embark on a new stage of development with the launch of the "Carthage Grains" project, aimed at constituting a fourth strategic pillar for the Group. This project opens up significant opportunities for diversification and value creation, in line with SFBT's historical businesses and ambitions for sustainable growth.
