The a2 Milk Company is confident it will hit a long-held goal of $2 billion in revenue this year. <\/p>\n

\n Back in 2021, when it had $1.2b in revenue, the listed milk marketer set itself the five-year target as it recovered from being heavily disrupted by Covid-19 and underwent a
\n change in leadership.\n <\/p>\n

Two years ago, it signalled it may not be reached until 2027. However, today in its half-year results to December 31, 2025, a2 put it firmly back on the table. <\/p>\n

Its revenue for the six-month period jumped nearly 19% to $993.5 million with underlying earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation, which strips out a2\u2019s Pokeno losses, increasing 26% to $164.8m. <\/p>\n

Chief executive David Bortolussi today said it had become clear during the period the company would be able to get to the target this year \u2013 \u201cit was always possible but wasn\u2019t likely at the beginning of the year\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NZ Herald 16 Feb, 2026 12:02 AMQuick Read Subscribe to listenAccess to Herald Premium articles require a Premium…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":286505,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[45859,19331,8613,138,1656,4611,5267,3594,78,88770,19332,111,139,69,90,7493,1961,61,22974,1533,379],"class_list":{"0":"post-286504","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-45859","9":"tag-a2","10":"tag-billion","11":"tag-business","12":"tag-company","13":"tag-confident","14":"tag-goal","15":"tag-hit","16":"tag-in","17":"tag-longheld","18":"tag-milk","19":"tag-new-zealand","20":"tag-newzealand","21":"tag-nz","22":"tag-on","23":"tag-revenue","24":"tag-this","25":"tag-to","26":"tag-track","27":"tag-will","28":"tag-year"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/286504","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=286504"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/286504\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/286505"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=286504"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=286504"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=286504"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
