Écomiam: +6% Growth in Stores Despite a Tightened Network of 56 Outlets
The specialized frozen products distributor Écomiam has announced its results for the first half of the fiscal year 2025/26, showing a 6.0% increase in comparable store sales, totaling 20.4 million euros. The group anticipates continued profitability improvement.
Steady Growth Amidst Network Consolidation
Écomiam recorded a 6.0% increase in constant store area sales during the first half of 2025/26, amounting to 20.4 million euros. In reported figures, the revenue stood at 20.376 million euros, a decrease of 0.5% compared to the previous first half (20.486 million euros), reflecting a rationalization of the network carried out by the group. This reduction in scope led the group to decrease its number of stores from 62 to 56 as of March 31, 2026, focusing its efforts on the most performant locations. The second quarter saw a 4.8% increase in comparable perimeter despite a deteriorated consumer environment, particularly due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
Quarterly Sales Performance
In the first quarter of 2025/26, sales grew by 7.0% on a comparable surface, reaching 11.205 million euros compared to 11.115 million euros a year earlier. The second quarter saw a 4.8% increase in comparable sales, with revenue of 9.171 million euros compared to 9.371 million euros previously. The entire first half was supported by an average basket increase of 6.6% on a constant sales area. The group expects to maintain a solid gross margin level, around 40.4%.
Strategic Initiatives and Future Directions
The effects of the performance actions initiated by Écomiam are expected to materialize as early as the results of the first half of 2025/26. The group will continue to optimize its distribution model, particularly through the experimentation of the shop-in-shop format, whose lessons will inform future strategic directions. Founded in 2009 and positioned as the third largest French distributor of specialized frozen products, Écomiam also offers a Click & Collect service and an online sales site providing home deliveries within 24 to 48 hours across mainland France.
