BRF S.A. (BRFS) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Penetration

You're looking at how BRF S.A. (BRFS) plans to grow by selling more of what it already makes into markets it already serves. It's about digging deeper where you already have a foothold.

The efficiency drive from BRF+ 2.0 has already delivered significant value, capturing R$ 1.5 billion in the year. This financial cushion helps fund the push for volume in core areas. Still, you need to watch the margin pressure; for 2025, input prices are expected to push the consolidated EBITDA margin down to close to 14%.

In the Brazilian market, the Q2 2025 performance showed strong underlying demand, with Net Revenue hitting R$8.1bn and volumes reaching 615Kt. The price per kilogram in Brazil for that period was R$13.1/kg. This is set against a backdrop where the Brazil division achieved an EBITDA margin of 16.4% in Q2 2025, which is a solid number compared to the 16% margin seen in Q1 2024.

Internationally, the focus is on solidifying routes to market, especially in the Middle East, where chilled poultry is a key growth area. Saudi Arabia's chilled chicken demand was over 300,000 metric tons in 2024. BRF S.A. has a specific goal here: capture 10% of that Saudi chilled chicken market within 18 months. The UAE Poultry Meat Market itself is estimated at USD 1.23 billion in 2025, with the Processed segment expected to grow at a CAGR of about 3% through 2029.

Regarding brand investment and share, while specific advertising spend increases aren't public, market share gains are being tracked. In the GCC region, BRF recorded a 1.4 percentage market share gain in processed products in Q2 2025. This follows a reported 40% processed goods market share gain in Q3/2024.

For foodservice, the channel remains a strategic focus, particularly in established markets. In the UK, the foodservice channel has become even more relevant. Back in 2015, a potential acquisition in that UK foodservice segment had a turnover exceeding £100M.

Here's a quick look at some of the key figures supporting this market penetration drive:

The focus areas for volume and margin improvement include:

• Capture R$ 1.5 billion in value from BRF+ 2.0 efficiency.
• Target 10% share of Saudi chilled chicken market in 18 months.
• Maintain competitiveness in Brazil despite input cost pressure.
• Grow processed product volumes in Turkey by 7% year-over-year (Q2 2025).
• Expand foodservice penetration in the UK.

If onboarding takes too long for the new chilled line in Saudi Arabia, market share capture risks rising.

BRF S.A. (BRFS) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Development

You're looking at how BRF S.A. (BRFS) is pushing existing core products into new geographic territories. This Market Development quadrant is about expanding reach, and the numbers show some definite movement in the Middle East and globally.

Here's the quick math on the strategic thrusts for Market Development:

• Solidify the $84.3 million Addoha Poultry investment to establish local production and distribution in Saudi Arabia.
• Shift the Asia export mix toward deboned cuts and cooked products to China and Southeast Asia for margin improvement.
• Target the Andean region for expansion, utilizing existing cold cuts and poultry products through distribution innovation.
• Capitalize on the 84 new export certifications gained in 2024 to enter new, smaller global markets with existing core products.

The Saudi Arabia move is concrete. BRF Arabia finalized the acquisition of a 26% stake in Addoha Poultry Company for a total transaction value of $84.3 million, which was announced in October 2024 and closed in January 2025. Of that total, $57.6 million is a direct investment into Addoha to boost production capacity. This local production is a key step, especially as BRF plans to allocate another $63 million toward a new factory in Jeddah during 2025. To give you context on the scale of the business these moves support, BRF S.A. reached net sales of R$ 61.4 billion in 2024, up 14% from 2023, with an EBITDA margin of 17.4%.

For broader international reach, the company expanded its operations to 117 countries by the end of 2024, supported by gaining 84 new export certifications across various continents that same year. These certifications open doors to new, smaller markets where the existing core products can be sold without extensive product modification. If onboarding takes 14+ days, churn risk rises, but certifications are the first step to market entry.

Regarding the Asia mix shift and the Andean region targeting, the strategy is clear-use existing products in new ways or new markets-but the specific financial impact or investment allocated to these initiatives for the 2025 fiscal year wasn't immediately detailed in the latest reports I reviewed. We'll need to track the next quarterly filing for the specific margin uplift from the deboned cuts to China.

Here are the key figures related to this Market Development strategy:

The leverage position improved significantly, dropping from 2.01x in 2023 to 0.79x in 2024, giving BRF S.A. (BRFS) more financial flexibility to execute these market expansion plans. Finance: draft 13-week cash view by Friday.

BRF S.A. (BRFS) - Ansoff Matrix: Product Development

You're looking at how BRF S.A. (BRFS) is planning to grow by introducing new products into its existing markets, which is the Product Development quadrant of the Ansoff Matrix. This strategy relies heavily on innovation and portfolio expansion across its core brands like Sadia and Qualy.

The company is definitely pushing for a significant refresh of its offerings. The plan centers on launching more than 100 new Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) in 2025. These new items are specifically targeted at convenience, snacking occasions, and premiumization through value-added poultry cuts. This focus supports the broader goal of increasing revenue from its current markets, which saw net revenue reach R$ 61.4 billion in 2024.

Capital allocation for these strategic moves is substantial. BRF projects capital expenditure (capex) to reach R$3.5 billion in 2025 for its strategic projects, up from a forecast of about R$2.4 billion in 2024. While the total capex is set, a portion of this is earmarked for research and development (R&D) supporting new product categories, including plant-based protein alternatives under existing brands. This aligns with the company's stated goal to lead the meat substitute segment, which was projected to exceed the R$13 billion mark in 2030.

Innovation within established categories remains key. Qualy, BRF S.A.'s margarine brand present in seven out of ten Brazilian households, continues to see product evolution. Although specific 2025 product introductions aren't detailed, the brand's history includes launching innovative options like multigrain margarine, which contained the benefits of six whole grains. This focus on innovation helps maintain its market leadership position in Brazil.

Capturing the shift toward convenience in the domestic market is a major driver. BRF S.A. has a stated ten-year goal to expand its portfolio of ready-to-eat meals to capture a growing market that could reach R$16 billion by 2030 in Brazil. This is supported by the current market reality, where the Brazil Ready-to-Eat (RTE) food market size was valued at USD 4.03 billion in 2025. The company is working to capture more of this demand from both households and foodservice channels.

Internationally, the Product Development strategy mirrors the focus on convenience and value-added products, particularly in the Middle East. Following the launch of the Sadia Fresh line of chilled chicken products in Saudi Arabia in July 2025, the company's main aim is to capture 10% of this specific market share within 18 months. This local production effort in Saudi Arabia, which included a $57.6 million direct investment into Addoha Poultry Company to enhance capacity, is part of a larger strategy that values BRF's Middle East assets at $2.07 billion within the new Sadia Halal venture.

Here is a snapshot of the financial and strategic context for these Product Development initiatives:

The Product Development focus is supported by several key areas of investment and market positioning:

• Launch of over 100 new SKUs in 2025.
• Investment in plant-based protein R&D, a segment projected to exceed R$13 billion by 2030.
• Expansion of ready-meals portfolio to capture the USD 4.03 billion (2025 value) RTE market in Brazil.
• Development of new chilled chicken lines for Middle East markets beyond Saudi Arabia.
• Continued innovation for the Qualy margarine brand, present in seven out of ten Brazilian households.

The overall ambition is clear: BRF S.A. aims to grow its revenue to overcome $18 billion by the end of 2030, up from almost $7 billion last year. This growth is heavily reliant on successful product innovation and premiumization.

BRF S.A. (BRFS) - Ansoff Matrix: Diversification

Executing the pet food capacity play involves pushing dedicated, high-growth product lines into new international territories. BRF S.A.'s pet food division saw its active client base increase by 8% year-over-year in the second quarter of 2025. The company's growth plans for this segment include expanding its overall offering to 30 markets over the next 2 years, up from the 20 in which it already operates, with pet brands included in this strategy.

For selective bolt-on M&A in adjacent food categories outside of core poultry/pork, the financial guardrail is clear: keeping leverage below 2.0x. This target is achievable, as the company recorded its lowest leverage ratio ever at 0.43x in the first half of 2025. Forecasts suggest leverage should remain below 2.0x through 2025, even with increasing investments.

Developing a new line of premium, locally-sourced beef products for the high-end retail segment in the Middle East is materializing through a joint venture. BRF S.A. is investing up to $160 million in a new food plant in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, through BRF Arabia Holding Company. The investment schedule allocates approximately $63 million in 2025 and around $98 million in 2026. This facility, scheduled for mid-2026 operation, will produce about 40,000 tonnes annually of halal-certified beef and poultry products, boosting local production from 17,000t to 57,000t annually. This follows the January 14, 2025, completion of the purchase of a 26% stake in Saudi Arabia's Addoha Poultry Company for $84.3 million.

Piloting a new, defintely sustainable, traceable product line in a new European market tests a premium-tier business model. While specific 2025 figures for this pilot aren't public, the overall strategy is supported by strong financial health, with Q2 2025 EBITDA reaching 5.3 billion BRL and net revenue at 15.4 billion BRL.

The company plans to expand its overall offering to 30 markets over the next 2 years, up from the 20 in which it already operates, with pet brands included in this strategy. The pet food division reported EBITDA of 52,000,000 in the second quarter of 2025. You should note that the forecasted capital expenditure for 2025 is about R$3.5 billion per year, absent other material expansion projects or mergers and acquisitions.
