Grupo Dia highlights 2025 achievements to its shareholders: “The 2025 financial year confirms the strength of our proximity model and the discipline with which we are executing the roadmap presented a year ago”

19 June 2026, Las Rozas de Madrid. Grupo Dia held its Annual General Meeting this Friday, an encounter marking the close of a historic year following the first year of execution of the 2025–29 Strategic Plan, ‘Creciendo cada día’ (‘Growing Every Day’). At its annual meeting with shareholders, the company presented financial results that validate the success of its commitment to proximity and underline its capacity to generate sustainable long-term value, with a 140% appreciation in the share price during the 2025 financial year.

“The 2025 financial year confirms the strength of our proximity model and the discipline with which we are executing the roadmap presented a year ago. We are growing above the market, improving our profitability, strengthening our financial position, and continuing to generate value for our shareholders,” stated Martín Tolcachir, CEO of Grupo Dia.

In his speech, he highlighted that Dia Spain is consolidating its position as the Group’s engine with gross sales of 5.565 billion euros (+8.6%) and like-for-like growth of 7.4%. The company gained 20 basis points of market share, strengthening its position as the fourth-largest national operator and leader in proximity. Regarding expansion, he noted that 94 supermarkets were opened in 2025 and that 100 net openings are planned for 2026, which will contribute to accelerating growth. For its part, Dia Argentina demonstrated remarkable discipline and resilience, navigating a complex macroeconomic environment and managing to close the year with positive EBITDA and as a fully self-financed business.

“We have started 2026 by maintaining our focus on the priorities defined in our Strategic Plan: profitable growth, organic expansion, operational excellence, and financial discipline. Our proximity model continues to demonstrate high relevance for the consumer, and we continue strengthening our value proposition in every neighborhood and in every community where we operate,” added Tolcachir. “The trust that our customers, franchisees, suppliers, employees, and shareholders place in Dia is built every day. The results of 2025 reflect the work of thousands of people and encourage us to continue advancing with ambition and discipline.”

Benjamin J. Babcock, Chairman of the Board of Directors, highlighted in his address to the shareholders that the Strategic Plan presented in 2025 is “the north star guiding our teams to continually challenge, elevate, and exceed expectations across every community we serve. Today, we see the benefits of this strategy. We see it in our customers, our employees, our franchisees, suppliers, financial results and, importantly, our share price.”

Furthermore, Babcock underscored the reinforcement of the corporate governance structure, which stands as a market benchmark with 90% independent members. He highlighted the appointment of Luisa Delgado as Vice Chairperson of the Board and Lead Independent Director—roles she assumes in addition to her chairmanship of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee—thus strengthening the strategic oversight and independence of the body.

“Dia continues to reinforce its position as a benchmark in good corporate governance practices in the Spanish market,” stated the Chairman of the Board. He also welcomed Mar Gallardo, an independent director whose ratification was confirmed by the Meeting. Gallardo joined the body in February to bring over three decades of experience in auditing and finance within the retail sector. Additionally, he thanked José Wahnon for his leadership and contribution during his years as a director, a role he will step down from this month.

The Chairman also highlighted the commitment to sustainability through the new 2026–29 Sustainability Plan, ‘The Value of Every Day’, a roadmap which “links directly to our Strategic Plan and focuses on driving inclusivity, creating shared value, and enhancing operational efficiency”. ““Every day, we confirm the potential of our strategy and our business model. Thank you – our shareholders for your continued support and trust. This is not taken for granted and must be earned every day,” he concluded in his remarks to the shareholders.
