What happened
Origin Enterprises plc reported that pretax profit for the year ended July 31, 2026, was €60.4 million, a decrease from €66.7 million the previous year. This figure accounted for various costs, including €6.2 million related to restructuring and redundancy, and €3.5 million from an accrued fine issued by competition authorities in Romania. The company noted that it was also affected by costs tied to historical trade payables impacted by international sanctions related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Why it matters
The company stated its operating profit was €100.7 million, marking a 1.8 per cent year-on-year increase. This performance was supported by growth in the Living Landscapes and Latin America divisions. However, softer market conditions in Ireland, the UK, and continental Europe were noted as contributing factors to the overall mixed results.
Romania is exploring Latin America as a gateway for its investment, supported by a new interim trade agreement between the EU and Mexico.
