LfL Sales

Adjusted EBITDA

  • Fresh sales amount to € 1 810,5m, up € 24,9m from € 1 785,5m last year (+1,4%).
  • The profitable growth is mainly attributable to an expansion in product/service offer within the integrated customer relationships which continues the growth path after the double-digit growth realised last year. These long-term relations already account for 74% of sales of the Fresh segment versus 71% last year.
  • Besides, due to a continued focus on profit improvement initiatives in the area of sourcing, transport and efficiency, Fresh was able to further increase its Adjusted EBITDA margin to the level of 3% of sales.
  • In H1 we have committed € 19,3m capex in Fresh. This includes the next step in the roll-out of ERP/Infor, automation of packing and sorting lines and additional ripening and assembly capacity. Main project go-live is a 'state-of-the-art' citrus sorting line at the new DC in Ridderkerk.

LfL Sales

Adjusted EBITDA

  • Long Fresh sales amount to € 341,1m, up € 13,2m from € 328,0m (+4,0%).
  • Sales are growing steadily due to a partial revival of food service (from 13% to 17% of Long Fresh sales), further growth with higher-end convenience and fruit categories and additional business unlocked by convenience investments.
  • Nevertheless, sales also slowed down in UK due to important post-Covid disruptions in the economy and more specifically within supply chains.
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 7,4% of sales, thanks to continued focus on operational efficiency, helped by better vegetable crop availability and leading to higher production volumes, despite some shortages in certain fruit categories.
  • In Long Fresh we have committed € 17,1m capex in H1. Amongst others we invest in a packing line, mixing & light coating line, sorting line and freezing tunnel in our plants of Frozen and Prepared. Main project go-live is a packing automation in Poland and new engine room in France with 100% heat recovery.

Net finance cost: reduction mainly relates to decreased interest margins as a consequence of the refinancing at the end of last accounting year and because of decreasing debt levels.

Income tax expense: increase of taxes in line with increase of profit before tax, also carried forward tax losses depleted in some entities.

Depreciation & amortisation: slightly higher than last year due to increased overall investment level; this includes an IFRS 16 impact amounting to -€ 16,8m.

Reorganisation costs: costs related to management and organisational changes to further develop the organisation and competences.

Costs related to legal claims: costs related to the settlement or provisioning of some legal claims.

Result on sale of subsidiaries / assets: gain realised on the sale of the share in the Bardsley joint venture (+€ 3,0m), and small loss on the sale of GY Prepared NL (-€0,3m), net of deal costs.
