The company’s net profit reached approximately 64,000 lei, which was over 18 times higher than the previous year, though profit margins remained low. Meanwhile, Ursus Breweries reported a total net profit of 639 million lei through the end of 2025 and announced dividend distributions exceeding 105 million euro. Despite a 4% decline in overall beer consumption in the country, the company recorded a turnover of 2.8 billion lei, a 1% increase from the previous year.
