On 25 June 2026, Mizzi Organisation Finance plc published an updated Financial Analysis Summary. The following are the main highlights of the expected financial performance and position of the Mizzi Organisation (the Guarantors’ combined financial statements) in 2026:
- Revenue is expected to increase by 4.7% to €237.9 million, with growth across the beverage segment (+10% or €6.4 million to €70.6 million), automotive (+5.5%, or €4.9 million to €93.6 million), hospitality (+5% or €0.8 million to €15.7 million) and contracting (+5% or €1.4 million to €28.8 million), which will outweigh the slowdown in real estate and retail sectors.
- EBITDA is projected to increase by 18.3% to the €30.8 million level as the growth in revenue outweighs higher operating expenses. In fact, the EBITDA margin is expected to improve to 13.0% from 11.5% in 2025.
- Net finance costs are also forecasted to decrease to €4.2 million, with interest cover strengthening to 7.3 times from 5.4 times last year.
- The financial performance for 2026 is expected to benefit from a one-off gain of €5.0 million arising on the disposal of the ‘Suq tal-Belt’ concession.
- The anticipated assets of the Guarantors include loans advanced to Mellieha Bay Hotel Limited, with a further €6.4 million to be advanced during 2026 to fund the redevelopment of the hotel for a total of €12.7 million. Mizzi Organisation holds a 51% stake in this associate, valued at €17.5 million at the end of 2025.
- During 2026, Mizzi expects to invest approximately €17.6 million in CAPEX, most notably relating to the continuation of the ‘Hofra’ project in Blata l-Bajda.
- Total debt is projected to decrease by 1.1% (or €1 million) to €113.1 million, which includes €16.1 million in lease liabilities. As a result, the gearing ratio (calculated as total debt divided by total debt plus equity) is anticipated to ease to 34.9% from 36.6% as at the end of 2025.
- The debt-to-asset ratio is expected to remain virtually unchanged at 0.27 times.
- When accounting for the anticipated cash balance of €12.1 million as at the end of 2026, which is lower than the €12.5 million as at the end of 2025, the net debt-to-EBITDA is forecasted to ease to 3.3 times compared to 3.9 times last year.
