The SAH Lilas Group, Tunisia’s leading hygiene and detergent manufacturer, recorded consolidated revenue of 462.1 million dinars in the first half of 2025, compared with 444.7 million dinars in the same period of 2024, an increase of 4.2%.
This performance reflects resilient demand in its key markets, particularly in the paper and feminine hygiene segments, as well as the growing contribution of its African subsidiaries.
Despite an economic environment marked by rising wage costs and operating expenses, the Group’s operating income stood at 52.3 million dinars, down from 60.1 million a year earlier.
This slight decline is mainly due to higher personnel expenses (+25% to 58.9 million dinars) and other operating costs (+13% to 70.0 million dinars), notably in energy, transport, and advertising.
However, net financial charges decreased to 20.8 million dinars, compared with 22.3 million at the end of June 2024, reflecting better debt management and optimized working capital control.
As a result, pre-tax profit came in at 33.3 million dinars, versus 38.1 million a year earlier.
The consolidated net profit amounted to 30.5 million dinars, including 29.6 million attributable to the Group’s share, compared with 30.3 million in June 2024.
This stable performance highlights the Group’s ability to maintain profitability despite a challenging economic and monetary context.
Meanwhile, long-term debt fell to 92.2 million dinars, down from 109.0 million six months earlier, confirming the continuation of the Group’s deleveraging strategy.
During the period, the Group continued its industrial investments, totaling over 28 million dinars, mainly to modernize production capacity across its Tunisian and African subsidiaries.
