According to Solico’s six-month performance report, the group achieved 2.9% organic growth in the first half of 2025, exceeding its initial expectations. Total group sales reached IRR 44.2 billion, representing a 1.8% decrease compared with the same period last year, primarily due to the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations and the depreciation of the Iranian rial.
Net profit for the period stood at IRR 5.1 billion, down 10.3% year on year. Earnings per share (EPS) reached IRR 1.97, representing a 9% decrease compared with the first half of the previous year.
Progress in Productivity and Strategic Initiatives
Solico also reported progress under its “Fuel for Growth” productivity program. The initiative generated IRR 150 million in savings during the first half of the year. With an additional IRR 350 million in savings expected during the second half, the group is targeting total annual savings of IRR 700 million.
In addition, six strategic projects across the group generated more than IRR 200 million in sales, contributing to the group’s broader productivity and growth agenda.
Sharpening the Brand Portfolio
Solico Group CEO Gholamali Soleimani said that a strategic review of selected non-core brands in the nutritional supplements segment has begun, with the aim of increasing focus on premium brands and businesses with stronger growth potential.
Despite challenges including foreign exchange volatility, rising costs, and tariff pressures, Solico has maintained its financial outlook for 1404 (2025–2026) unchanged. The group continues to target organic growth and an operating margin above 16% as part of its broader financial and operational objectives.
