Sales for Quarter 4 of FY 2024-2025 posted an evolution of +0.2% on a like-for-like basis*, and -0.2% on reported figures, due to an upturn in business activity in the Europe Zone at the end of the period.
Despite a slight downturn of the activity over the fiscal year, the group confirms its objective of a stable recurring operating income, in line with its transformation plan, “Transform to win”, thanks to the ongoing recovery of North American activities, the good performance of activities in Eurasia and a strict cost control program.

The Europe Zone, which accounted for 61.5% of the business activity over the period, posted a decline of -3.9% on reported figures and -4.1% on a like-for-like basis* and of -0.6% over Quarter 4 in both reported figures and like-for-like basis*.
Canned and frozen activities, although slightly down in the last quarter, posted a significant recovery at the end of the quarter. They reflect the return to normal volumes sold under private labels and the sustained growth of the Cassegrain brand in France.
The fresh processed activities maintained in the portfolio (packaged salads activity in Italy, and prepared segment in France and Italy) posted, for the whole period, both on a like-for-like basis* and at current exchange rates, increases in both volumes and value in all segments. Quarter 4 was particularly buoyant in France in the prepared segment, thanks to a good trend of recently launched innovations and favorable weather conditions in spring and early summer for the fresh prepared segment.
The Non-Europe Zone, representing 38.5% of the business activity over FY 2024-2025, rose by +4.9% on a like-for-like basis* (+4.4% on reported figures). In Quarter 4, increases were respectively of +1.7% on a like-for-like basis* and +0.4% on reported figures.
Overall FY 2024-2025, business activity in North America returned to growth with +4.8% on a like-for-like basis* (+4.9% on reported figures), driven by the ongoing progress in complete meal solutions (bowls), which posted growth of over +10% in volumes and value, in the entire period as well as in the last quarter.
The Eurasia region, Export and Mercosur confirmed its role as key player for growth over FY, with an increase of +5.5% on a like-for-like basis* (+3.7% on reported figures), particularly boosted by the excellent performance of activities in the Eurasia region.
Announced on August 29, 2024, the proposed sale of Bonduelle's packaged salad business in France to the LSDH Group became effective on July 17, 2025.For the past ten years, the Bonduelle Group has faced a structural decline in salad consumption in France. This sale allows the Bonduelle Group to continue accelerating its activities in the fresh delicatessen market, in France and Europe.
The LSDH Group will continue, through a licensing agreement, the use of the Bonduelle brand on packaged salads in France. The Bonduelle Group is confident in the ability of the LSDH Group, a family business, to turn around its operations in France. This player has a solid plan to expand its business.
The divested scope represented approximately 3.5% of the group's turnover for the Bonduelle Group, or 80 million euros for the 2024-2025 fiscal year. The result of the divestment of the business will be reflected in the accounts for the 2025-2026 fiscal year, which began on July 1, 2025.
The Bonduelle Group confirms its objective of stable recurring operating income at constant exchange rates and scope for FY 2024-2025, ending June 30, 2025, in line with the trajectory of its “Transform to win” transformation plan.
