2017-2018 Financial Year Turnover

Another FY of growth for the Bonduelle Group in 2017-2018 and annual profitability objective confirmed

Completion of the acquisition of the Del Monte activity in Canada

The financial period ended 30 ^th of June 2018, enabled the Bonduelle Group to report a turnover of 2,776.6 million of euros, an increase of +21.4%, thanks to the consolidation over the full year of the Ready Pack Foods acquisition and the resilience of the historical group's core business. This performance, achieved in a still sluggish consumption environment in Europe and USA and in a slow, but improving one in Eastern Europe, demonstrates the validity of the group's business model, diversified both geographically and in business segments (canned, frozen, fresh ready-to-eat) along with its distribution networks (retail and food service), coupled with a growth strategy that combines organic growth and acquisitions. The completion of the Del Monte Business Activity acquisition in Canada highlights the group's expansion ambition towards plant-based products.

Global Turnover

Activity by Geographic Region

Activity by Operating Segments

Over FY 2017-2018 (1 ^st of July 2017 - 30 ^th of June 2018), the group's turnover reached 2,776.6 million of euros, an increase of +21.4% based on reported figures. This increase is largely based on the full-year consolidation of Ready Pac Foods (+23.6%) acquired on the 21 ^st of March 2017, and on the activities increase at constant scope (+0.3%), but dampened by the effect of exchange rates (-2.6%), mainly the US dollar, the Canadian dollar and the Russian rouble. Quarter 4 recorded a business decrease of -7.1% based on reported figures, mostly impacted by the exchange rate fluctuations. On a like for like basis*, the change is set at -1.8% mainly due to the high bases of comparison in the US for the fresh ready-to-eat operating segment and Eastern Europe, and an unfavourable calendar effect in North America.

Europe Zone The Europe zone, representing 46.5% of the turnover, posted an increase of +1,-% for FY 2017-2018, against + 0.2% last FY. Quarter 4 growth stood at +2.6% on reported figures and like for like basis*, the 3 operating segments showing positive growth. The increase in activity was the result of some innovations initiated for the Bonduelle and Cassegrain brands (légumiô, VeggissiMmm! ranges, notably), fuelling market share gains in many countries and segments, with a more favourable weather conditions limiting product disruptions in occasionally shrinking markets coupled with a sluggish consumption struggling to pick up in most of the European countries.

Non-Europe Zone The non-Europe Zone, comprising mainly the Americas, Central and Eastern Europe, now a preponderant share in the group's geographical portfolio, represented 53.5% of the consolidated turnover on June 30 ^th , 2018. The zone recorded an activity increase of +47,-% on reported figures and -0.5% on a like for like basis* thanks to the full-year integration of Ready Pac Foods consolidated over 12 months against 3 in 2016-2017, and despite an unfavourable exchange effect impacting this zone, mostly.

The limited growth on a like for like basis* in the non-Europe zone is explained by:

• a saturation of the production capacities for the canned and frozen activities in North America as part of better business portfolio management and an activity having 52 weeks against 53 the previous year;
• a drop in activity for Bonduelle Fresh Americas in the fresh ready-to-eat segment over quarter 4 of FY 2017-2018 due to a high comparison base from the same period last FY;
• a return to growth for the activity in Eastern Europe coupled with some market share gains, which despite the recovery sign, has not regained the momentum of the previous years;
• a progressive strengthening of partnerships with Unilever in Brazil and the evolving business model implemented.

For quarter 4, the activity stood at -15,-% on reported figures and -5.5% on a like for like basis*, mostly because of the high exchange rate impact over the quarter and the calendar effect in North America mentioned above.

Completion of the Del Monte acquisition in Canada

Bonduelle announces the 4 ^th of July, 2018, it has finalized with Conagra Brands Inc. (NYSE: CAG) the acquisition of Del Monte processed fruit and vegetable business in Canada.

The acquisition, effective on July 3 ^rd , 2018, includes the right to use the Del Monte brand on different segments of processed fruits and vegetables and stocks of products for a value of $43 million Canadian. The acquired business excludes all industrial and personnel assets because co-packers and Bonduelle's existing production capabilities will be used.

The Del Monte processed fruit and vegetable business in Canada, with revenues of approximately $60 million Canadian, will complement Bonduelle Americas Long Life business unit's canned and frozen vegetable business, which is largely conducted under retailer's store brands. This highlights the group's desired development in brand activities and expansion beyond vegetables to vegetable products.

Outlooks

Despite a slight business growth excluding external growth, the group confirms its growth target of its current operating profitability at circa +20% for this FY at constant exchange rates.

The consumption climate observed both in Europe and in the US, the results of the trade negotiations in these 2 zones coupled with a rather difficult harvest start (rainfall delaying planting and hot waves affecting vegetable growth) experienced in several production zones, will hinder the expected growth in the group's revenue and profitability for FY 2018-2019, excluding external growth.

* at constant currency exchange rate and scope of consolidation basis. The turnover in foreign currency over the given period is translated into the rate of exchange for the comparable period. The impact of business acquisitions (or gain of control) and divestments is restated as follows
