Europe
Zone
In Europe, like for like basis*,
growth was at - 1.8%. The market slowdown observed in Q4 of FY
2011/2012 continued over the summer period, especially in the out-
of- home catering segment, hence impacting the frozen activity, as
the main market for this technology in Europe. In addition to poor
climate conditions affecting the consumption of corn, the can
segment was affected by some product shortages (green beans), as
previously observed last quarter. In the fresh processed segment,
while the prepared salads remained stable, the delicatessen
activity was satisfactory and benefitted from a favorable base
effect.
Non-Europe
Zone
In the Non-Europe Zone, like for
like basis*, turnover was at + 1.3%. In terms of volume and value,
the Eastern Europe and South America areas continue to post
double-digit growth. Sales of cans in Brazil benefit from
continuous distribution expansion comforting the objective of
reaching a 10% market share in terms of volume for 2013/2014. The
Northern America activity benefits from a positive market
orientation, but Q1 sales have been affected by product shortages
and unfavorable base effect, imperfectly offset by some price
increases.
Outlooks
Q1 turnover reflects the caution
exercised by the group regarding the evolution of its commercial
activity, especially for the Europe Zone. The objectives for
financial year 2012/2013 earlier announced of reaching an 8%
turnover growth, at constant exchange rate, and an operating
profitability set between 5 to 10% are not compromised.
