Slowdown in consumption weighs on revenue growth for Quarter 3

The Bonduelle Group's revenue stands for Quarter 3 of FY 2022-2023 at € 572.2 million, a change from the previous financial year of +4.7% based on reported figures and +3.6% on like for like basis* after taking into account currency fluctuations, linked to a slight appreciation of the US dollar during the quarter. No change in the group's scope of consolidation occurred over the period. Over the 9 first months, the revenue stands at € 1,815.5 million, up +10.6% on reported figures and +5.3% on like for like basis*.

Europe Zone
The Europe Zone, representing 61.5% of the business activity over the first 9 months, recorded an overall growth of +11.6% on reported figures and +12.4% on like for like basis* and over Quarter 3 revenue rose +12.1% and +12.7% respectively.
Both for the first nine months of the year and for Quarter 3, the 3 operating segments are growing in value.
For the long life segment (canned and frozen), Quarter 3 was marked by a sustained growth in value and a limited fall in volume thanks to continued dynamic activity in food service, and the good resistance of branded products, notably Cassegrain.
The ready-to-use fresh segment (salad bags and prepared) also showed growth in value over the quarter, and a slight decline in volumes due to shortages of raw materials in salads, despite the performance in the prepared segment, driven by the success of innovations launched during the year.
Non-Europe Zone
The revenue of the Non-Europe Zone, representing 38.5% of the business activity over the first 9 months, recorded a growth of +9.1% on reported figures and -5.9% on a like for like basis*, and over Quarter 3 revenue posted an evolution of -7.2% and -11.0% respectively.
In North America, the ready to use fresh segment in retail, which is in decline, continues to suffer from a significant slowdown of the market, particularly on salad bowls, in a context of pressure on purchasing power. The food service activity, on the other hand, posted a positive growth.
In the Eurasia zone, the geopolitical environment continued to affect consumption levels in the region, which showed a negative trend in both volume and value on a like for like basis*.

2022-2023 Outlooks
In an environment of continuing inflation and social tensions in certain countries, food consumption underwent a significant downturn in Quarter 3, which was reflected in the group's sales performance.
In this highly volatile environment, and taking into account the performance of the first 9 months of the year, the Bonduelle Group is targeting for the financial year, a revenue growth of around 5% fueled by mandatory price increases in a still inflationist environment and confirms its objective of a stable current operating margin compared with the previous financial year, both at constant exchange rates and scope of consolidation.
* At constant currency exchange rate and scope of consolidation basis. The revenues in foreign currency over the given period are translated into the rate of exchange for the comparable period. The impact of business acquisitions (or gain of control) and divestments is restated as follows
- For businesses acquired (or gain of control) during the current period, revenue generated since the acquisition date is excluded from the organic growth calculation;
- For businesses acquired (or gain of control) during the prior fiscal year, revenue generated during the current period up until the first anniversary date of the acquisition is excluded;
- For businesses divested (or loss of control) during the prior fiscal year, revenue generated in the comparative period of the prior fiscal year until the divestment date is excluded. In the specific case of the loss of control of the long life activities in North America, the IFRS 5 standard having been applied to the historical data, the revenue is already restated in the historical elements;
- For businesses divested (or loss of control) during the current fiscal year, revenue generated in the period commencing 12 months before the divestment date up to the end of the comparative period of the prior fiscal year is excluded.
