Germany-based distiller Berentzen-Gruppe has cut its 2026 revenue and profit forecasts, citing ongoing weakness in the German market and consumer spending. The Frankfurt-listed group now expects revenue between €151 million and €156 million, down from a previous range of €163 million to €173 million, with EBIT lowered to €3.5 million to €5 million from €7 million to €9 million and EBITDA to €12.4 million to €13.9 million from €16.1 million to €18.1 million. Preliminary first-half revenue fell 11.1% to €71 million, EBIT dropped 81.2% to €0.6 million, and EBITDA declined 33.8% to €4.9 million. CEO Oliver Schwegmann said market developments are outpacing expectations and warned that planned regulations such as a sugar levy or increased alcohol duty could be counterproductive. The company has launched the Juma brand and relaunched Puschkin, expecting positive effects in the second half and a bigger contribution next year.
