Milan, March 4th, 2025-The Board of Directors of Davide Campari-Milano N.V. (Reuters CPRI.MI-Bloomberg CPR IM) approved Campari Group's Annual Report for the year ended December 31st, 2024.
FULL YEAR 2024-RESULTS HIGHLIGHTS
2024 was marked by macroeconomic and geopolitical volatility simultaneously affecting all regions and leading to impact on consumption patterns and trade including destocking while the post-Covid rebasing continued. This was exasperated by poor weather conditions, especially in Europe. In spite of this challenging backdrop, Campari Group again delivered positive results with +2.4% organic topline growth and ongoing outperformance vs competition.
In this period, profitability was impacted by continuation of investments to strengthen and expand frontline and infrastructure capabilities in a more moderate topline growth trend period. At the same time, Campari Group is evolving in terms of operating model to increase efficiency and reinforce focus on priority brands.
• Net sales €3,070 million, up +2.4% organically and +5.2% on a reported basis. The perimeter impact was +2.7% driven by Courvoisier and agency brands while FX effect was +0.1%.

Simon Hunt, Chief Executive Officer: 'As I close the second month in this role, I am pleased to announce that Campari Group delivered positive results and outperformance vs competition again in 2024, which was a challenging year marked by the cyclical impacts of macroeconomic and geopolitical volatility. Looking forward, following a transition period in 2025, we are very confident in our ability to deliver long-term sustainable outperformance by leveraging our powerful brand portfolio, the investments made so far, especially in route to market, systems and supply chain, the unique Camparista culture and talented team. Our leadership position in aperitifs presents an ever-growing opportunity given the evolving consumer trends, which, combined with our tequila and premium spirits portfolio, also have significant potential for geographic expansion globally. At the same time, we will maximise the potential of the Group by driving efficiency and commercial execution while ensuring balance sheet and operating deleverage.'
