Sales
The Bonduelle Group’s sales for the 1st half year of fiscal year 2025-2026 amounted to 1,111.1 million euros, thus a variation of +0.3% on a like-for-like basis (2) and -0.7% on reported figures. This performance, in a weak consumption environment in Europe and the United States, was fueled by the growth of the Cassegrain brand in France, the Bonduelle brand in emerging countries, as well as by the growth of private labels sales in Europe following the introduction of customs duties on Chinese corn imports.

Europe Zone
The Europe zone, representing 60.7% of business activity, shows a growth of +0.2% on a like-for-like basis (2) and +0.3% on reported figures over the period.
The canned business activity, operating in relatively sluggish markets, posted a growth of +0.7%, driven by increased sales of the Cassegrain brand and higher volumes of private labels products. This increase in volumes was linked to the imposition of customs duties on Chinese corn, but on prices remained lower due to overstocking across Europe. A return to stronger growth is expected in the second half of the year thanks to a powerful activation of the Bonduelle brand in many geographies in Europe.
The frozen business activity shows a growth of +1.6% thanks to the performance of innovations in retail and in food service.
The fresh processed business activity (packaged salads in Italy, prepared segment in France and Italy) posted a decline of -2,7% over the period, linked to high competitive pressure in the packaged salads segment in Italy, as well as listing losses and an unfavorable summer for prepared segment in France. The prepared business activity in Italy, where Bonduelle is the undisputed leader, continues its very strong growth.
Non-Europe Zone
The Non-Europe zone, representing 39.3% of business activity, shown an evolution of +0.5% on a like-for-like basis (2) and -2.2% on reported figures, due to the weakening of dollar.
The Eurasia and emerging markets zone confirms its role as a growth driver over the period at +6.7% on a like-for-like basis (2), supported in particular by the excellent performance of branded activities.
Business activity in the United States declined by -3.1% on a like-for-like basis (2) over the period, in a consumer environment marked by inflation and despite the resilience of complete meal solutions (bowls). The second half of the year is expected to see the realization of customer acquisitions and the growth of ambient “Lunch Bowls” sales.
Operating income
For the 1st half of fiscal year 2025-2026, the Bonduelle Group reports a current operating income of 50.5 million euros at current exchange rates, representing an operating margin of 4.5% compared to 48.0 million euros and 4.3% in the previous fiscal year, thus an increase of +5.1% on reported figures and a decrease of -2.2% at constant exchange rates.
In Europe zone, initiatives undertaken to improve industrial performance and strictly managed industrial costs are mitigating two impacts: the price decreases observed on private labels products, and the reduction in production programs during summer 2025, intended to limit inventory levels generated by Chinese corn imports. As a result, the Europe zone is posting a near-stable current operating profitability and its current operating margin, which stands at 5.4% compared to 5.6% in the same period of the previous fiscal year.
In Non-Europe zone, the growth momentum in branded activities in the Eurasian zone and the continued improvement in agro-industrial efficiencies in the United States have made it possible to offset the impact of the severe agricultural crisis, now over, which affected Bonduelle and the entire sector in the United States, leading there also to a near-stability of current operating income and current operating margin at 2.3% compared to 2.4% in the previous fiscal year.
After taking into account non-recurring items of -4.9 million euros over the period, mainly consisting in the reorganization of the business activity in the United States, the operating income of the Bonduelle Group amounted to 45.5 million euros on reported figures, compared to 44.9 million euros for the same period of the previous fiscal year.
Net income from continuing operations
Net financial income amounted to -15.5 million euros, compared to -17.8 million euros at the end of the first half of the previous fiscal year. This improvement comes from a decrease in interest expense, which fell from -14.7 million euros to -12.6 million euros, resulting from a reduction in the group's average debt rate to 3.38%, and a positive foreign exchange result of 0.3 million euros compared to an expense of 1.2 million euros in the first half of the previous fiscal year.
Tax expense amounted to 13.8 million euros, compared to 12.7 million euros in the same period of the previous fiscal year. The effective tax rate, at 45.8%, although improving, is still distorted by the non-activated losses from the North American fresh business activities.
Net income from associates shows a revenue of 4.1 million euros corresponding to the share of profit – in progress - from the minority stake in Nortera Foods.
After taking into account the net financial income, the tax expense and net income from associates, the Bonduelle Group’s net income from continuing operations for the first half of the 2025-2026 fiscal year increased to 20.4 million euros, thus 1.8% of sales compared to 17.2 million euros over the same period of the previous fiscal year.
Net income from discontinued operations
In accordance with IFRS 5 accounting standards, the contribution from discontinued operations is gathered under item "net income from discontinued operations". Thus, for the first half of the year, the result amounted to +36 million euros, representing accounting gain on the disposal of the packaged salads activity in France, compared to a charge of -22.3 million euros for the same period of the previous fiscal year and -31.2 million euros for the entire 2024-2025 fiscal year, which included net income, restructuring charges and expenses related to the disposal of the salad businesses activities in Germany and France.
Consolidated net income
The consolidated net income shows a strong improvement at 56.5 million euros compared to a loss of 5.0 million euros in the previous fiscal year, due to the improvement in the net income of continuing operations and an active management of our portfolio of activities.
Financial situation
The seasonality of the group's business activity results in a high level of debt at December 31, which is not representative of average or fiscal year-end debt.
The group's net financial debt at December 31, 2025, after taking into account IFRS 16, amounted to 770.0 million euros compared to 755.5 million euros at December 31 of the previous fiscal year and the group's debt-to-equity ratio (gearing (3)) is improving at 1.16 compared to 1.23 in the same period of the previous fiscal year.
The increase in debt is linked to the rise in working capital requirements, itself attributable to the strengthening of the Russian ruble over the period (translation effect), to the rebuilding of inventories in this region following a 2024 agricultural campaign with lower volumes, and higher year-end sales activity, a factor contributing to increased receivables. The implemented reduction in production programs and the sales objectives for the second half of the year should allow the group to strengthen its financial structure.
Outlook
Given the aforementioned headwinds and market tensions, putting pressure on sales volumes and prices and generating industrial underactivity, the Bonduelle Group is targeting a current operating profitability at constant exchange rates and scope of 80 million euros for the financial year ending June 30, 2026.

6. Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements
Bonduelle SCA is a French limited partnership (société en commandite par action) that is listed on Euronext Paris (compartment B). Bonduelle is a market leader in processed vegetables both within and outside Europe. The Company operates in three business segments: canned, frozen and ready-to-use fresh vegetables (prepared and fresh-cut).
On February 17th, 2026, the Executive Management approved the consolidated half-yearly financial statements under IFRS and authorized the publication of the financial statements for the year ended 31st December 2025.
NOTE 1 ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
1.1 Preparation methods
The consolidated financial statements of the Bonduelle Group and its subsidiaries (“the group”) for the 2025-2026 fiscal year have been prepared in accordance with the “IFRS” (International Financial Reporting Standards) published by the IASB (International Accounting Standards Board), and whose adoption ruling has been published in the official journal of the European Union.
The notes to the half-year consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and follow recommendation 2016‑09 of the Autorité des normes comptables (ANC – French Accounting Standards Board).
Half-year financial statements have been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
As part of the normal preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the calculation of certain financial data requires the use of assumptions, estimates and assessments that have an impact on amounts recognized in the balance sheet, the income statement and the notes to the consolidated financial statements and which are principally:
Monitoring the value of intangible assets:
The net book value of goodwill, brands and other intangible assets is reviewed at least once a year, at the annual closing and when events or circumstances indicate that a reduction in value is likely to have occurred. An impairment loss is recognized when the recoverable amount of the intangible assets becomes lower than their net carrying amount.
As of December 31st, 2025, the Bonduelle group performed a review of impairment indicators. As a result of this work, no impairment has been recognised in the accounts as of December 31st, 2025.
1.2 Accounting standards applied
As these are condensed financial statements, they do not include all the information required by IFRS for the preparation of consolidated financial statements. They should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30th, 2025.
The accounting policies used for these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30th, 2025, except for the newly applicable standards, amendments and interpretations as of July 1st, 2025.
Main standards, amendments and interpretations adopted by the European Union and mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2025:
| Standards, amendments and interpretations | Theme |
|---|---|
| Amendments to IAS 21 | Effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations – Non-convertibility risk |
This publication did not have any impact on the group's consolidated financial statements.
Standards, amendments and interpretations not yet mandatorily applicable for financial years beginning on or after January 1,2026
The group has not applied these standards, amendments and interpretations whose application is not mandatory in the consolidated financial statements as at December 31st, 2025 and believes that they would not have a material impact on its results and financial position.
1.3 Specific features of the preparation of Interim Financial Statements
Seasonality of operations
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of December 31 are characterized by significant seasonality. The production of canned and frozen technologies is mainly carried out during the first half of Bonduelle’s fiscal year. As of December 31st, costs directly related to the production of these technologies have been recognized based on the costs that will be incurred over the entire fiscal year to account for the significant effects of seasonality.
However, the interim result is not necessarily indicative of the result expected for the full year.
To provide readers with a better understanding of the financial statements given this seasonality, the 12-month period ending June 30, 2025, has been added to the income statement and the cash flow statement. For the balance sheet, the interim period ending December 31, 2024, has also been included. The details of these additional informational periods are not included in the notes to the financial statements.
Employee Benefits
The retirement obligation is assessed based on the valuation performed as of June 30, 2025, adjusted for significant market fluctuations since then, any plan amendments, curtailments, or settlements, and any other significant events. As of December 31, 2025, the Group recognized a 30-basis-point increase in the discount rate used to measure the obligation (4.0% compared with 3.70% at June 30, 2025).
Income Tax
The tax expense is assessed based on the best estimate of the weighted average effective tax rate expected for the full fiscal year. As of December 31, 2025, the effective tax rate (ETR) was calculated at 45.8%.
NOTE 2 CHANGE IN THE SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION
2.1 Disposal of packaged salad fresh activity in France and Germany
As part of its “Transform to Win” transformation plan, the Bonduelle Group completed, on March 31, 2025, the disposal of its packaged salad business in Germany to the company Taylor Farm. Only the assets related to this business were sold, and the legal entity remains fully consolidated within the scope of the Group.
On July 17, 2025, the Group finalized the disposal of its packaged salad business in France to the LSDH Group, following several years of declining performance in this segment. Information related to the business held for sale is presented in Note 3.
NOTE 3 ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
3.1 Application of IFRS 5
As described in Note 2, the Group disposed of its packaged salad business in Germany and France, in March and July 2025 respectively. At December 2024 and June 2025 reporting dates, the assets relating to these operations met the criteria to be classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5.
Consequently, the assets of this business and the associated liabilities were presented separately from the Group’s other assets and liabilities, on specific lines of the statements of financial position as at December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025. The assets of the German packaged salad business were disposed of on March 31, 2025 and were therefore derecognized from the statement of financial position as at June 30, 2025. The assets of the French packaged salad business were disposed of on July 17, 2025 and are therefore derecognized from the statement of financial position as at December 30, 2025.
In the income statement, the contribution of the operations classified as held for sale for the periods presented is reported within the line “Net result from discontinued operations.” In the statement of cash flows, their contribution is presented within the lines “Cash flows from discontinued operations” for each of the three major sections (Operating activities, Investing activities, Financing activities). These reclassifications are applied to all periods presented to ensure comparability of information.
Details of items classified under “Net income from discontinued operations”,” Cash flow from discontinued operations”, “Assets held for sale” and “Liabilities held for sale”.’ are shown in Note 3.2.

NOTE 6 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS
As of December 31, the assumptions used to calculate pension obligations were updated compared to the annual closing in June 2025, resulting in a discount rate of 4% (compared to 3.70% as of June 30, 2025). This increase in the rate of 30 basis points would decrease the commitments by €720 thousand.
NOTE 7 NET FINANCIAL INCOME
| (in thousands of euros) | At 2024/12/31 | At 2025/12/31 |
|---|---|---|
| Cost of net debt A | (14,728) | (12,552) |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 313 | 424 |
| Interest expense (at effective interest rate) | (15,042) | (12,976) |
| Gains and losses on liabilities covered by fair value hedges | (2,300) | (299) |
| Gains and losses on fair value hedging derivatives | 2,300 | 299 |
| Other financial income and expenses B | (3,067) | (2,913) |
| Foreign exchange gain (loss) | (914) | 131 |

| Other finance income and expenses | (1,883) | (3,241) |
| NET FINANCIAL INCOME A+B | (17,795) | (15,466) |
The group's financial result as of December 31st , 2025, amounts to -15,5 million euros compared to -17.8 million euros a year earlier.
The cost of net debt, the main component of financial result, stood at -14.7 million euros as at December 31st , 2024, to -12,6 million euros as at December 31st, 2025, corresponding to interest paid at the effective interest rate. This decrease is driven by the context of falling interest rates in most currencies.
The interest rate, calculated on the group's average debt, all currencies combined, and restated for IFRS impacts, stood at 3.38% versus 4.12% the previous year.
Other financial income and expenses (-3.2 million euros) mostly come from the interest charges of IFRS 16 lease liabilities (- 3 million euros).
Foreign exchange loss (+0.3 million euros) is mainly due to foreign exchange hedges on cash flows relating to commercial activities and cash in foreign currencies.

8. Statutory Auditors' report on the half-yearly financial information
This is a free translation into English of the statutory auditors’ review report on the half-yearly financial information issued in French and is provided solely for the convenience of English-speaking users. This report includes information relating to the specific verification of information given in the Group’s half-yearly management report. This report should be read in conjunction with, and construed in accordance with, French law and professional standards applicable in France.
To the Shareholders,
In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your annual general meeting and in accordance with the requirements of article L. 451-1-2-III of the French Monetary and Financial Code ("Code monétaire et financier"), we hereby report to you on:
- the review of the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements of Bonduelle, for the period from July 1st, 2025 to December 31st, 2025.
- the verification of the information presented in the half-yearly management report.
These condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the responsibility of the Management Board. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.
1. Conclusion on the financial statements
We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 - standard of the IFRSs as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.
2. Specific verification
We have also verified the information presented in the half-yearly management report on the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements subject to our review. We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements.
