French alcohol brand Rémy Cointreau delivered an improved performance in its full-year results, with sales increasing by 0.2 per cent on an organic basis to €935.3m.

The Group’s sales declined by 5 per cent on a reported basis due to a negative currency impact of 5.2 per cent.

The positive growth after consecutive declines in sales was driven by a standout performance in the cognac category, with a 15.5 per cent increase on an organic basis in the fourth quarter.

There was a very strong sales growth in the Asia region, which was boosted by high performance during Chinese New Year.

In the full-year results, the Europe, Middle East and Africa region experienced a 3.1 per cent organic decline, which was affected by the cognac division, where there was increased competition and subdued consumption, according to the business.

This comes after the business began a transformation plan across its portfolio to build momentum and maximise the potential of the brands across markets.

Rémy Cointreau has posted consecutive losses within its results, impacted by shifting consumer habits in alcohol consumption and a softer market.

Moving forward, the brand expects an organic decline in current operating profit in the low double-digit to mid-teens range in the upcoming year.

The Group anticipates a negative currency impact on current operating profit of between -€25m and -€30m.

Last year, in November, the alcohol manufacturer reported a sales decrease of 8.3 per cent in the first-half results for the 2025/26 financial year.
