Q3 FISCAL 2026 REVENUES
Thierry Delaporte, Chief Executive Officer of Sodexo, said:
"Third-quarter organic growth was above expectations, reflecting resilient demand across the business and the continued focus of our teams on execution. While we entered the quarter with a cautious view of the operating environment, we were able to mitigate a number of risks by capturing opportunities across the portfolio, particularly at Sodexo Live! North America.
We are moving with urgency on our action plan to return to growth, restore competitiveness and strengthen execution capabilities. The organization continues to mobilize behind key transformation priorities. We are seeing encouraging progress in our commercial momentum.
Our Investor Update on July 16 will provide further details on our execution agenda and medium-term ambitions."

CURRENCY EFFECTS
Exchange rate fluctuations do not generate operational risks because each subsidiary bills its revenues and incurs its expenses in the same currency.
The negative currency impact for the first nine-months of Fiscal 2026 of -4.4% was primarily driven by the continued depreciation of the US dollar. This effect was further compounded by the weakening of the British pound, the Canadian dollar and the Indian rupee.
The currency effect is determined by applying the previous year’s average exchange rates to the current year figures.
FINANCIAL POSITION
Apart from the seasonal changes in working capital, there were no material changes in the Group's financial position as of May 31, 2026, relative to that presented in the Fiscal 2025 Universal Registration Document filed with the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) on October 31, 2025.
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
There were no significant changes to the principal risks and uncertainties identified by the Group in the Risk Factors section of the Fiscal 2025 Universal Registration Document filed with the AMF on October 31, 2025.
ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURE DEFINITIONS
Growth excluding currency effect
The currency effect is determined by applying the previous year’s average exchange rates to the current year figures except in hyper-inflationary economies where all figures are converted at the latest closing rate for both periods when the impact is significant.
Organic growth
Organic growth corresponds to the increase in revenue for a given period (the “current period”) compared to the revenue reported for the same period of the prior fiscal year, calculated using the exchange rate for the prior fiscal year; and excluding the impact of business acquisitions (or gain of control) and divestments, as follows:
Underlying operating profit margin
The Underlying operating profit margin corresponds to Underlying operating profit divided by revenues.
Underlying operating profit margin at constant rates
The Underlying operating profit margin at constant rates corresponds to Underlying operating profit divided by revenues, calculated by converting Fiscal 2026 figures at Fiscal 2025 rates, except for countries with hyperinflationary economies.
