Executive summary

  • Fiscal year 2025 delivered 3.3% organic revenue growth (3.7% underlying), with consolidated revenues at €24.1 billion, in line with revised guidance despite operational and commercial challenges, especially in North America and U.S. higher education.

  • The company completed its pivot to a pure-play food and services provider, including the Pluxee spin-off, portfolio streamlining, and increased investments in digital, culinary, and sustainability initiatives.

  • Leadership transition to Thierry Delaporte as CEO effective November 2025, with a focus on operational execution and commercial acceleration.

Financial highlights

  • Revenues reached €24.1 billion, up 1.2% year-over-year, with organic growth of 3.3% (3.7% excluding major events).

  • Underlying operating profit was €1,139 million (+2.7%), with a margin of 4.7% (up 10 bps at constant currencies); reported margin was flat due to FX headwinds.

  • Free cash flow was €459 million, including a €160 million exceptional tax outflow; underlying cash conversion was 91%.

Outlook and guidance

  • Fiscal 2026 is a transition year, with organic revenue growth expected between 1.5% and 2.5%, and at least +2% from pricing; a one-off contract reclassification will reduce reported growth by 70 bps.

  • Underlying operating margin is expected to be slightly lower than FY25, mainly due to investment phasing and growth mix, with margin pressure concentrated in North America.

  • CapEx target is 2.5% of revenue, with continued focus on organic growth, selective bolt-on M&A, and targeted ROCE above 15%.

  • Dividend payout ratio remains at 50% of underlying net income.

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.
