On 26 June 2025, Hili Finance Company p.l.c. announced the publication of an updated Financial Analysis Summary. The report outlines the financial performance of Hili Ventures Limited (the "Group" or "Guarantor") for the period from FY2022 to FY2024, and also provides projections for the financial year ending 31 December 2025.

For FY2025, the Group is forecasting a strong increase in revenue to €1.21 billion, up from €1.09 billion in FY2024. EBITDA is likewise expected to improve from €135.95 million to €146.75 million, reflecting continued growth across all business lines particularly restaurant operations and retail sales. Profit for the year, however, is projected to decline to €44.83 million from €64.96 million a year earlier, reflecting the non-recurrence of the exceptional net investment gains registered in FY2024.

Total assets are forecast to contract slightly to €1.15 billion, compared to €1.16 billion as at the end of 2024. Total equity is anticipated to grow to €296.42 million, up from €280.75 million as at 31 December 2024. Meanwhile, total debt is expected to decrease from €665.54 million to €647.84 million, with net debt also projected to decline from €589.89 million to €583.13 million.

The Guarantor’s key debt metrics are expected to remain stable. The net debt-to-EBITDA multiple is forecast to improve to 3.97 times, down from 4.34 times in 2024, whilst the interest cover is projected at 4.80 times, marginally below the prior year’s level of 4.88 times. Net gearing is expected to improve from 67.75% to 66.30%, and the debt-to-assets multiple is forecast to edge lower from 0.57 times to 0.56 times.
