2023-2024 Fiscal Year Revenue
(July 1, 2023 - June 30, 2024)

The Bonduelle Group posts an increase in annual revenue on a like-for-like basis* and confirms its profitability target despite a difficult consumer environment

For the 2023-2024 fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the Bonduelle Group revenue stands at 2,371.8 million euros, an increase of +2.7% on a like-for-like basis*. After taking account of exchange rate variations, it shows a decline of -1.4% on reported figures.

Over 2023-2024 fiscal year Quarter 4, revenue showed an increase of +2.6% on a like-for-like basis* and +0.5% on reported figures.

Over this last quarter, volumes remained negatively oriented, and reflect a still weak consumer dynamic, particularly in June due to unfavorable weather conditions despite now limited inflation.

Despite more moderate sales growth over the last 2 quarters, which does not make it possible to deliver our annual revenue growth target, the group confirms its objective of increasing recurring operating income, thanks to the good performance of branded activities and the effectiveness of internal productivity and cost-control initiatives.

Europe Zone

The Europe Zone, representing 65.7% of the business activity over the fiscal year, posted a growth over this period of +3.3% on reported figures and +2.9% on a like-for-like basis*, and of +0.2% and +0.1% respectively in Quarter 4.

The Europe Zone showed a marked slowdown in its business activity over the last quarter with declining volumes sold.

The canned and frozen private label ranges have seen a significant withdrawal linked in particular to occasional changes in supply policies. The branded business showed a significant growth over the period in both volumes and value, in both retail and food service channels.

In the fresh processed (bagged salads) and the fresh prepared segments, business activity suffered in Quarter 4, and particularly in June, from poor weather and an unfavorable base effect compared with the same period last year. The activity presented a stable turnover over the year, with salads in Italy and fresh prepared segments reporting growth.

Non-Europe Zone

The Non-Europe Zone, representing 34.3% of the business activity over the fiscal year, grew over the 2023-2024 fiscal year by +2.4% on a like-for-like basis* (-9.4% on reported figures). For Quarter 4, the increases are respectively +7.3% on a like-for-like basis* and +1.1% on reported figures.

In this last quarter of the fiscal year, the Eurasia region continues to grow both in volumes and in value thanks to the solid growth of the Bonduelle canned brand and further sustained acceleration in frozen food in retail.

North American activity remained, over the quarter, down in volumes and stable in value, the bowls and salad kits segments, which carry added value, both progressed in volumes and in value in retail, the bagged salads segment showing itself in decline. Business activity again remains overall in decline both in volumes and in value on the whole fiscal year.

Outlook

The end of the financial year was marked by increased pressure on volumes leading to a revenue slightly lower than expected but including a favorable products and brands mix.

This commercial mix, added to competitiveness initiatives and strict control of our overheads, should make possible, despite a late and delicate start of harvests due to the weather context, to reach a current operating profitability for the 2023-2024 fiscal year at the top of the target announced in October 2023, i.e. 75 to 80 million euros at constant exchange rates, and a current operating margin above 3%.

* 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;
  • 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.
