LfL Sales

Adj EBITDA

  • Fresh LfL sales amount to € 1 879,6m, up € 105,1m from € 1 774,5m LY (+5,9%).
  • Sales within the integrated customer relationships remains stable at ~74% of Fresh revenues which provides a more stable financial basis for the business.
  • Overall, negative volume effect of -3,0% related to more out of home consumption post- COVID. Sales price increases amount to 8,9%. Price dynamics in Fresh is not only driven by cost inflation but also by supply-demand volatility in the many F&V categories.
  • Adjusted EBITDA in H1 22/23 is slightly lower than in H1 21/22, as the inflation of input costs could not be fully translated in sales price increases given the high price pressure within retail and lower consumption rebalancing post-COVID.
  • We continue working on achieving operational efficiencies & synergies and try to accelerated gains where possible.
  • We have committed € 19,7m capex in Fresh in H1 22/23, with some delays in ordering and implementation due to the economy.

LfL Sales

Adj EBITDA

  • Long Fresh sales amounts to € 390,6m, up € 49,5m from € 341,1m LY (+14,5%).
  • LfL sales are growing double digit (+14,5%) of which 5,4% is driven by additional volume mainly thanks to food service returning back to the pre-COVID level.
  • Growth with both established and new customers. 9,1% of the sales growth is explained by sales price increases to cover the inflation in all cost categories.
  • The Adjusted EBITDA of Long Fresh increases from € 28,1m to € 30,9m (+9,9%). The positive impact of volume growth is partially offset by production inefficiencies caused by lower crop yields due to drought and scarcity in labour. It also includes a one-off recovery of previous years' contributions related to water management.
  • The Adjusted EBITDA margin of Long Fresh evolves from 7,4% in H1 21/22 to 7,9% in H1 22/23 which is also impacted by the divestment of Prepared NL in august last year which operated at lower margins.
  • We have committed € 18,6m capex in Long Fresh in H1 22/23.

* Adj EBITDA margin is calculated on the basis of reported sales
