Europe Zone
The Europe Zone, which accounts for 66.0% of total revenue, posted overall Q1 growth of +7.2% on a like-for-like basis* and +7.6% on reported figures. In an economic environment still marked by a sharp decline in volumes of food consumption expenditure, the group's retail activity grew in value but posted a slight decline in volumes, as the group's presence in both the branded product and private label products, coupled with a major targeted promotion campaign, should allow the group to maintain its business activity and market share. Despite this environment, the food service activity remains flat overall in terms of volumes but is growing in value.
The fresh processed segment, bagged salads, which is more sensitive to the consumer environment, remains under pressure in Germany and France, while Italy posted growth in terms of both volumes and value. The fresh prepared activity, which is more sensitive to weather conditions, benefited from a particularly dynamic month of September with significant increases in volumes and market share gains.
Non-Europe Zone
In the Non-Europe Zone which accounted for 34.0% of Q1 business activity, declined -0.5% on a like-for-like basis* and -13.2% on reported figures, under the combined effect of the depreciation of the Russian ruble and, to a lesser extent, the weakening of the US dollar versus the euro. On a like-for-like basis*, the activity in the Non-Europe Zone was flat in terms of value and down slightly in volumes, with significant differences in performance between regions.
In Eurasia and Mercosur, the canned activity remains sustained in terms of both volumes and value, particularly for the Bonduelle brand, while the frozen activity in Eurasia, which is more marginal, continued to be penalized by market
trends.
In North America, the salad bowls activity is still in decline, but gained market share again due to a decline in the overall market, while volumes in salad kits (salad bags with ingredients), supported by innovations, grew in terms of both volumes and value.

Outlook
First quarter activity and the results of the summer harvests do not call into question the targets communicated in early October 2023, namely revenue growth of around 5% and an operating margin of over 3%, both at constant exchange rates. Changes in the consumer environment, the recovery of the fresh processed activity and the achievement of new price increases designed to compensate for inflation, particularly for agricultural raw materials, observed during the 2023 summer harvest and not offset by operating efficiency gains will be key factors in achieving these targets.
* 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.
