Bonduelle Group reported sales of €519.8 million for the first quarter of its 2025–2026 fiscal year (July 1–September 30, 2025), representing a decrease of 0.5% on a like-for-like basis and 2.1% on reported figures compared with the same period last year.
The company's financial statements were adjusted under IFRS 5 accounting standards following the sale of its packaged salad operations in Germany on March 31, 2025, and in France on July 17, 2025 (retroactively effective from July 1, 2025). As a result, sales from these discontinued activities are excluded from comparative results for both years.
Bonduelle said its overall quarterly performance remained in line with the previous year despite a challenging and volatile market environment marked by weak consumer demand.
Europe Zone
The Europe Zone, which accounted for 62.6% of the group's activity, recorded a 2.0% decline on a like-for-like basis and 1.9% on reported figures. The company cited lower demand in both retail and food service, along with unfavourable summer weather conditions that impacted the fresh processed vegetable segment. Bonduelle indicated that product innovations introduced in several categories are expected to support sales in the coming quarters.
Non-Europe Zone
The Non-Europe Zone, representing 37.4% of total activity, grew 1.9% on a like-for-like basis but fell 2.3% on reported figures. Growth was supported by stronger performance in the Eurasia region and steady results in the United States, particularly in meal solutions, despite reduced consumption linked to ongoing inflationary pressure.
Shareholder meeting and dividend proposal
Bonduelle's Annual Shareholders' Meeting will be held on December 4, 2025, at the company's administrative headquarters in Villeneuve d'Ascq, France. A dividend of €0.25 per share will be proposed for approval.
The group's 2024–2025 Universal Registration Document was filed with the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) on October 16, 2025. It is available on Bonduelle's website and the AMF's official portal.
Outlook
Bonduelle reaffirmed its operating income objective for the 2025–2026 fiscal year on a like-for-like basis, noting continued caution in consumer markets.
