CMD 2026 summary5 Mar, 2026

Strategic priorities and market context

  • Focus on profitable growth in the Netherlands by prioritizing regional clusters and food professionals, while limiting exposure to low-margin national chains.

  • Aim to achieve structural profitability in Belgium by reaching over €500 million in sales by 2030, leveraging both organic growth and M&A.

  • Implement fundamental cost reductions, targeting a 1.5% of sales decrease in cost base through digitalization, ERP upgrades, and operational streamlining.

  • Maintain sustainability targets aligned with CSRD, including Scope 1 emissions reduced to 15,000 tCO2eq by 2030, but without accelerating beyond market trends.

  • Capital allocation remains balanced between reinvestment, dividends (60% of post-tax profits), potential share buybacks, and M&A optionality, with leverage targeted at 1.5x–2x EBITDA.

Review of past performance and lessons learned

  • Previous 2020–2025 targets were missed due to unexpected inflation, volume decline, and unfavorable customer mix, with EBITDA margin reaching 5.8% versus a 7.5% target.

  • Market conditions from 2020-2025 were volatile, with COVID-19, supply chain disruptions, and high inflation causing real volume contraction and margin pressure.

  • Integration issues in Belgium, especially with SAP, led to operational setbacks; reverting to legacy systems restored stability, but profitability lagged due to delayed integration and insufficient revenue scale.

  • Market share was defended, but growth was concentrated in lower-margin national chains, impacting profitability; Belgium's revenue dropped organically but was boosted by the Metro acquisition.

  • Cost optimization and restructuring initiatives mainly offset inflation rather than delivering targeted margin improvements, though employee satisfaction and carbon reduction targets were achieved.

Growth and profitability roadmap to 2030

  • Netherlands: Focus on margin improvement by renegotiating or exiting unprofitable national chain contracts, with targeted annual revenue growth of 2-5% depending on segment.

  • Growth emphasis on regional clusters and food professionals, supported by targeted campaigns and partnership with Heineken.

  • Belgium: Targeting 10%+ annual sales growth, combining organic expansion and acquisitions to reach €500 million sales and positive EBIT.

  • Consolidation in Belgium expected as market fragmentation and inflationary pressures drive need for scale.

  • Operational improvements include CRM digitalization, advanced order picking, centralizing slow-mover distribution, and reducing FTEs and costs.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
