Q1 2025 Revenue

External growth continues to be the driving force behind the Group’s rise in revenue, accounting for almost 55% of the increase in the first quarter.

In France, the contraction in food consumption and the associated fall in volumes are leading to stagnation in revenue.

Outside France, revenue has risen sharply, driven by the contribution of recently acquired companies.

Breakdown by region and business line

STEF France

  • Sales in the Chilled Products business remained stable, due to weak growth in food consumption and a slowdown in volumes processed, accentuated by one fewer working day during the quarter.
  • The Retail business is maintaining its momentum thanks to a good performance in e-commerce and the logistics outsourcing contracts won in 2024.
  • The Foodservice business is continuing the positive trend seen in Q4 2024, driven by a sustained sales performance and the ramp-up of its Miramas site.
  • The Frozen Products business is suffering from a sluggish market, leading to a fall in the fill rate of its warehouses.


STEF International 

  • Operations in Italy remain stable overall, except for the Frozen Products segment, which is subject to increased competition.
  • Spain is showing good momentum, driven by the positive impact of external growth and the performance of the Foodservice business.
  • Despite the fall in food consumption, revenue in the Netherlands and Belgium is holding up. Both countries are actively pursuing the process of integrating recently acquired companies.
  • In the United Kingdom, the positive scope effect of the integration of Long Lane Deliveries in Scotland offset the fall in volumes in the historical scope.
