German coffee and consumer goods company Tchibo has reported double-digit revenue growth for its 2025 fiscal year, driven primarily by its coffee division. The company's parent, Maxingvest, announced a turnover of €3.72 billion ($4.32 billion) for the Tchibo business, underscoring a strong performance despite challenging economic conditions in its core European markets.

According to the financial report, Tchibo's organic revenue increased by 12 percent from the €3.36 billion ($3.91 billion) recorded in the previous fiscal year. This top-line growth, however, was met with a slight contraction in profitability. The company’s earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) fell to €162 million ($188.3 million) from €167 million ($194.11 million) a year prior, a decline attributed largely to coffee tax effects.

The results arrive as the European coffee sector navigates significant cost pressures and growing caution among consumers. Looking ahead, Tchibo projects moderate revenue growth but anticipates that profitability will decline further. The company noted that rising operating costs and higher purchasing prices for raw materials, including green coffee, are not expected to be fully offset through adjustments to consumer pricing.
