AUCKLAND – Cooks Coffee Company Limited (NZX: CCC; AQUIS: COOK), the international coffee-focused café chain, has announced a period of explosive growth in its interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2025.
The Company reported a staggering 111% increase in Group revenues to NZ$5.77 million, up from NZ$2.74 million in the prior period. This significant leap was largely driven by the success of company-managed stores in Ireland following the strategic partnership with Dairygold.
Excluding the Dairygold contribution, the underlying like-for-like revenue still showed a robust growth of 19.3%, reaching NZ$3.27 million. A key highlight was the new flagship location in Mallow, Cork, which opened in June 2025 and has quickly become the second-highest sales store in the entire Group, earning a nomination in the prestigious Retail Excellence Ireland Awards.
The expansion momentum continues, with the Group reaching a major milestone of 100 operating stores across the UK and Ireland following the opening of its first store in partnership with retail giant Tesco in Tullamore, Ireland.
Financial and Operational Highlights:
- Explosive Revenue Growth: Group revenue surged 111% to NZ$5.77 million.
- Strong Underlying Performance: Like-for-like revenue grew 19.3% excluding the Dairygold impact.
- Total System Sales Soar: Combined store sales across the UK and Ireland increased by 26.9% to NZ$45.5 million.
- Growing Store Network: The period ended with 96 operating stores, up from 85 in March 2025, and has since grown to 100.
- Strategic Partnerships: The successful partnerships with Dairygold and Tesco are creating new growth avenues in high-traffic locations.
- Debt Reduction: The Company reduced its debt by NZ$1.769 million during the period.
Post-period trading has maintained this positive trajectory. For the eight weeks to 24th November, total store sales in the UK are up 18.6%, and Irish store sales have skyrocketed 29.8% compared to the previous year.
Aiden Keegan, CEO of Cooks Coffee Company, commented on the results: “The Board is pleased to report a strong period of growth. This is testament to the hard work of all our franchisees, Regional Developers in the UK and the strong offering that we provide.
