The entitlement period for the stock dividends (free shares) resulting from the capital increase of Edita Food Industries expires by the close of today's trading session, Monday.

The distribution of the free shares, allocated at a ratio of 0.5 shares for every original share held, is scheduled to commence on Tuesday, September 29, 2026.

This move comes in execution of the resolutions passed during the Ordinary and Extraordinary General Assembly meetings held on April 16 and August 13, 2026. The assemblies approved increasing the company's issued capital from EGP 280 million to EGP 418.91 million. The EGP 138.9 million capital hike is financed entirely from the shareholders' share of the 2025 retained earnings and dividend distributions.

Notably, the consolidated financial statements of Edita Food Industries for the first half of the current year revealed a robust 59% year-on-year growth in net profits.

The financial indicators detailed that the company recorded a consolidated net profit after tax of approximately EGP 1.61 billion during the period from January through the end of June 2026. This is a significant jump compared to the EGP 1.01 billion net profit posted during the corresponding period of the previous year.

In terms of consolidated top-line performance, the company generated revenues (sales) of about EGP 12.25 billion by the end of June 2026, up from EGP 9.24 billion in the comparative period.

Meanwhile, the company’s standalone financial statements for the same six-month period showed a net profit after tax of roughly EGP 1.51 billion, compared to EGP 938.78 million recorded in the same period last year.
