Maison Pommery & Associés, a leading player in the Champagne sector, reported its first-half 2026 financial results on September 7, 2026. The release detailed a decline in overall revenue, with consolidated turnover of €96.2 million, a decrease of 12.0% year-over-year. This decline primarily stemmed from the disposal of Heidsieck & Co Monopole, which reduced turnover by approximately €9.6 million, and a reduction in inter-professional sales by around €4.5 million. However, the company noted organic growth in its Champagne Pommery & Greno brand, which saw a 7.1% increase in turnover.
Despite the downturn, the company highlighted robust growth in international markets, particularly in Europe, where Champagne volumes increased by 16.6%, significantly outpacing the 8.3% market growth. In France, the company achieved a 1.9-point market share gain in the Off-Trade segment.
Net income for the first half of 2026 came to €4.0 million in the red, down €2.5 million from the previous year. This loss was attributed to the Heidsieck & Co Monopole sale, which was not fully offset by organic growth. However, the company maintained its focus on reducing net financial debt, which stood at €716.0 million, down from €754.4 million at the end of 2025 and €775.9 million in the same period the previous year.
Maison Pommery & Associés secured financing until June 2027, with a possible extension to June 2028, through a conciliation agreement with its financial partners. The agreement included a €42.8 million financing package to support the harvest, as well as adjustments to bank debt, including an extension of short- and medium-term facilities and a principal repayment holiday.
The company aims to continue its commercial momentum in the second half of 2026 by focusing on the development of premium cuvées and strengthening its positions in key markets. The gradual rollout of Champagne Pompadour and the premiumization strategy around the Cuvée Louise and Apanage 1874 range from Maison Pommery & Greno are expected to bolster the operating margin.
The 2026 financial year is anticipated to see the company maintain its commercial focus, with a dividend of €0.38 per share proposed for the 2025 financial year. The dividend, to be paid on December 14, 2026, is expected to yield 3.89% based on the share price as of September 4, 2026.
Maison Pommery & Associés, known for its commitment to promoting terroirs, sustainable viticulture, and environmental protection, continues to navigate its strategic plan for debt reduction and continued growth in the Champagne market.
