Hili Ventures has announced its consolidated financial results for the year ending 31 December 2025, reporting profit before tax of €69.6 million. Revenue also reached €1.17 billion – a 7.6% increase over 2024. 

Total assets surpassed €1.2 billion in 2025, while total equity improved by nearly 6% to just under €300 million, supported by disciplined investment and a deliberate focus on strengthening the group’s balance sheet. 

The year saw several significant milestones across the group. Premier Capital, its McDonald’s business, opened its 200th restaurant across its six markets with the Mrieħel store in Malta marking the occasion. iSpot expanded to 51 stores in Poland, becoming the largest Apple Premium Reseller in a single European country. During the year, Hili Ventures also acquired a stake in Bank of Valletta as part of its broader investment strategy. 

Chairman Archie Bethel said: “2025 was another year of measured progress for Hili Ventures as we continued to strengthen our businesses in a demanding global environment. These results reflect the resilience of our operations, the strength of our leadership teams and the commitment of more than 12,500 people across the group. Looking ahead, we remain focused on disciplined growth, strategic capital allocation and ensuring that each operation is well positioned within its respective market.” 

With 2026 underway, Hili Ventures is continuing to build on this momentum. Premier Capital will open a further 15 restaurants across its six markets, while iSpot is set to add three new Apple Premium Reseller stores as it consolidates its position in Poland. Beyond its operating businesses, Hili Ventures will sharpen its focus on positioning itself as a capital allocation platform, continuing to build long-term value across the portfolio.
