Breakdown by region and business line

STEF France

  • The volumes in the Chilled Products business are still feeling the impact of sluggish food consumption and highly variable monthly trends. Meanwhile, the Seafood Products business remains steady despite a tough market.
  • The momentum of the Foodservice business is stabilising, reflecting a market that is expanding at a slower pace than in previous months.
  • The Frozen food business is losing momentum, with warehouse fill rates falling.
  • The Retail business continues to benefit fully from the positive effects of new contracts, enabling it to achieve revenue growth.
  • The ambient and temperature-controlled food business and the Packaging business are experiencing strong momentum from recent commercial successes, mirroring the steady growth of International operations originating from France for the second consecutive year. 

 

STEF International

  • Portugal is seeing excellent revenue growth thanks to ongoing client portfolio development.
  • After a tough first quarter, Spain is back on track with growth driven by mid-market client expansion.
  • Italy continues to show positive development across all activities, especially in frozen foods.
  • The UK is picking up momentum again due to a more favourable economic environment. 

 

Half-year revenue amounts to €2,325.2 million compared to €2,179.1 million for the first 6 months of fiscal year 2023, representing an increase of 6.7% (2.5% on a like-for-like basis and excluding sales of goods for the Foodservice business).
