BRF REPORTS EBITDA OF R$ 5.3 BILLION AND NET INCOME OF R$ 1.9 BILLION IN THE BEST FIRST HALF IN THE COMPANY’S HISTORY

Results reflect the focus on operational excellence and market diversification strategy

São Paulo, August 14, 2025 – BRF, owner of the Sadia, Perdigão, Qualy, and Banvit brands, closed the first half of 2025 with the best half-year results in its history, posting an EBITDA of R$ 5.3 billion, 11% above 2024, and net income of R$ 1.9 billion, 14% higher compared to the same period last year. In the second quarter of the year, the company reported net revenue of R$ 15.4 billion, a 3% increase year over year. Adjusted EBITDA was R$ 2.5 billion, and net income was R$ 735 million. Free cash flow was R$ 842 million, and the leverage ratio reached the lowest in the Company’s history, at 0.43 times.  

The BRF+ operational efficiency program continued to boost the quarter’s results with actions aimed at optimizing industrial processes and cost management, generating R$ 208 million in savings.  

According to BRF’s CEO, Miguel Gularte, the results achieved so far clearly reflect the operational excellence and strategic vision guiding the Company’s operations. “The numbers demonstrate the company’s ability to respond and remain resilient. Our focus on efficiency allowed us to achieve consistent results, even in an adverse scenario like the one faced in the quarter, marked by restrictions on chicken exports,” said the executive. 

In Brazil, the Company recorded volume growth of around 6%, with notable gains in the processed segment, posting the highest volume ever sold in a second quarter in its history, generating net revenue of R$ 8.1 billion. This growth contributed to an EBITDA of R$ 1.3 billion and a margin of 16.4%. The positive performance was driven by sequential progress in executing the commercial strategy. The company continues to expand its customer base, which now exceeds 330 thousand points of sale, maintaining high levels of logistics services and greater market capillarity in the domestic market.  

During the quarter, BRF invested in targeted innovations in its portfolio, such as the launch of Sadia’s Pop Dog Sausage, made with beef, and Perdigão’s entry into the ready-to-eat snacks category. Additionally, the company achieved positive results in expanding its hamburger portfolio with partnerships between the Sadia/Bassi and Perdigão/Montana brands, leveraged by the reach of the sales and distribution force. 

In the international market, the geographic diversification strategy enabled BRF to sustain competitive price levels during the quarter. The Company posted adjusted EBITDA of R$ 1.2 billion and a margin of 17.3%. In the period, the company obtained 11 new export approvals, with highlights for Argentina and Canada, totaling 198 since 2022.  

In the Halal market, the Company continues to grow its share in the value-added segment, gaining 1.4 p.p. of market share in processed products in GCC countries. Another highlight was the entry into the chilled chicken category in Saudi Arabia in July, with the launch of Sadia Fresh through the Addoha Poultry Company.   

“Debt decreased to R$ 4.7 billion, leverage closed the half-year at 0.43x, the lowest historical level, and free cash flow continues to support our global growth plans sustainably,” said BRF’s Vice President of Finance and Investor Relations, Fábio Mariano.   

The company advanced its sustainability agenda, reinforcing its commitment to the future and responsible practices. BRF was recognized in the “A List 2024” by CDP for its work in managing greenhouse gas emissions. The BRF Institute promoted the volunteer campaign “Education for the Future,” which directly benefited over 5,000 people through the revitalization of educational spaces and activities with young people on the job market. The Company continues to value its teams. In the past 12 months alone, over 70% of leadership positions have been filled by employees, reinforcing the company’s commitment to developing internal talent 

 “The excellent results of these first six months of the year demonstrate our consistent track record of efficiency and value creation with a long-term focus. We will remain guided by the pursuit of operational excellence, and we will continue firm and optimistic in the Company’s sustainable growth journey, based on our commitment to quality, safety, and integrity in everything we do,” concluded Miguel Gularte.
