Oatly has revealed that its best-selling Barista Edition drinks are now made with 100% British-grown oats, announced today (30 October 2025) following its successful Q3 2025 results, shared yesterday.

Oatly said the move to British oats has been ‘years in the making,’ marking a key step in the company’s long-term commitment to strengthening UK agriculture. By 2026, the company expects to have tripled its investment in British-grown oats, while also doubling the volume of British oats supplying products across EMEA markets.

By moving the Barista Edition drinks to UK-grown oats, the products’ climate footprints are projected to shrink by 7-13% by the end of this year. The transition includes eight products within the Barista range, including the best-selling Barista Edition 1L ambient and chilled, and 1.5L ambient.

Barista Edition Organic, jiggers, Lidl Barista and some multi-packs will continue to be made with a mix of British and European oats.

Bryan Caroll, UK and Ireland general manager at Oatly, said: “Oatly Barista Edition remains the UK’s most popular oat drink, both with consumers and baristas”.

“With this shift, a significant proportion of all plant-based drinks will now be made with British-grown oats. This change reflects our ongoing commitment to taste, sustainability and product performance, and further reinforces Oatly’s long-standing support of British farmers.”

The group’s financial results, for the third quarter ended 30 September 2025, saw Oatly hit a record $222.8 million for the quarter – its highest quarterly total in the company’s history. This marks a 7.1% increase on the prior year period.

This was also the Swedish oat milk giant’s first quarter of profitable growth since its initial public offering (IPO) in 2021.

In a statement on LinkedIn, CEO Jean-Christophe Flatin said the “major milestone” of profitability reflects the team’s “discipline and resilience” in turning around the business over the past three years.

“This turnaround is the result of a company-wide effort to operate smarter, serve better, and build for long-term success,” Flatin added. “This is only the beginning of what’s possible.”

Measures taken to streamline the company’s operations include a strategic review of its Greater China business, still ongoing, amid a broader evaluation of its Asia operations.

When announced in July, Oatly said a range of options were being considered as part of the China review, including a potential carve-out of the Greater China segment.  

In December 2024, the company announced the closure of its site in Senoko, Singapore, as part of an ‘asset-light’ strategy to improve cost structure. The company also announced the discontinuation of construction of its second manufacturing facility in China.

The company reaffirmed its 2025 outlook in its Q3 results statement, with constant currency revenue growth expected to be in the range of flat to a 1% increase. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of positive $5 million to $15 million.

Third quarter adjusted EBITDA was $3.1 million, an improvement of $8.2 million compared to the prior year period. Gross margin was 29.8%, which was flat compared to the previous year.

Flatin commented on the Q3 results: “While we are proud of this achievement, we know that profitable growth is a milestone and not the finish line. We see significant potential ahead of us, and we are confident that we are taking the right steps to drive durable, scalable, and profitable growth as we execute on our mission.”
