Revenue for the year grew by 22.4 per cent, rising to KSh 8.44 billion from KSh 6.89 billion in the previous year. The increase in revenue contributed to a turnaround in operating performance, with operating profit reaching KSh 407.6 million compared to a loss of KSh 672.5 million in 2024.

Core Drivers of Profit Recovery
The Board of Sasini PLC attributed the profit to the strong performance of its Coffee Trading business, which shipped 236 containers, nearing the company’s annual target of 240 containers, and strong global coffee demand, as well as effective trading strategies.
The Tea division also recorded improved results after internal efforts to drive quality amid challenging market conditions, particularly low global auction prices and high production costs.
According to the report, the Tea Division reached break-even after implementing strategic operational improvements.
The division implemented a strict quality-focused production model, “two leaves and a bud,” raising main-grade output to 96–97 percent.
The Avocado unit faced losses due to shipping delays caused by the Suez Canal disruptions, while Macadamia operations underperformed owing to supply shortages linked to illegal exports.
The company’s operating profit reached KSh 407.6 million, reversing the prior year’s loss of KSh 672.5 million. Earnings Per Share (EPS) also improved sharply to KSh 0.85, compared to a loss per share of KSh 2.42 in 2024.
