Vienna-based catering conglomerate DO&CO has announced impressive financial results for the first quarter of the 2025/26 fiscal year. The company's revenue rose by nearly 11% to 611.7 million euros, and net profit grew by 44% to 26.8 million euros compared to the same period last year[1][4][5].
The result before interest and taxes (EBIT) of DO&CO also saw a significant improvement, rising from 36.6 to 52.5 million euros. All three business areas of DO&CO reported turnover increases ranging from 8 to 12 percent[1].
In the "Airline Catering" business area, which accounts for over three-quarters of the group's turnover, EBIT increased by 52 percent to 38.2 million euros. The Event Catering division saw an EBIT increase of over 14 percent, amounting to 9.8 million euros. The "Restaurants, Lounges & Hotels" division reported an EBIT increase of 57.5 percent, totaling 4.4 million euros[1].
The operating result (EBITDA) of DO&CO was increased by around one third to 73.2 million euros. The EBIT margin of DO&CO was widened from 6.6 to 8.6 percent, and the EBITDA margin was enlarged from 10 percent to 12 percent[1].
The Vienna catering company DO&CO significantly increased its turnover in the first quarter of the 2025/26 financial year. The consolidated result of DO&CO was improved by a solid 44 percent to 26.8 million euros[1].
For the future, DO&CO expects continued strong demand across all its global business segments. The management is confident that the company will successfully achieve its corporate goals, supported by an expanding cooperation network—especially in airline catering—and a focus on improving profitability margins[3].
In addition, DO&CO’s robust balance sheet provides financial stability and the capacity to undertake mergers or acquisitions if suitable opportunities arise[3]. Analysts, including Erste Group, highlighted that these results exceeded their optimistic expectations, particularly in operational performance and net profit, and they consider DO&CO’s investment story very attractive and not fully reflected in its current stock price[1][3].
These points outline a positive financial trajectory and confident future expectations for DO&CO in the 2025/26 financial year. The workforce of DO&CO is approximately 15,900[2]. The announcement was made by DO&CO on Thursday[6]. No specific figures regarding earnings expectations for the rest of the financial year were given[1].
Industry trends suggest that the premium segment is driving growth and profitability across all areas in the industry[7]. The management of DO&CO remains optimistic about the company's prospects, with a stable market environment expected to further support their corporate goals.
