(*) on a comparable, restated basis by sector.
As of September 30, 2026, SAVENCIA sales amounted to €5,423 million, compared with €5,033 million as of 30 September 2025, representing an increase of 7.8%. The growth recorded at the end of September marked an acceleration compared with the end of June, reflecting the seasonality of the Chocolate activities, where invoicing for the year-end period begins in the third quarter. It includes a slight organic decline of 1.1%, together with a combined foreign exchange and IAS 29 impact of -1.1%. These two effects were more than offset by the scope effect related to the integration of SAVENCIA Gourmet Chocolate activities and the acquisition of Quata in Brazil.
Historical Markets & Activities segment recorded sales of €2,396 million, compared with €2,372 million as of 30 September 2025, representing a like-for-like decline of 3.5%. This confirms the fragile consumer trends observed since the beginning of the year, as well as price adjustments in a context of lower milk prices.
In July, SAVENCIA acquired a 74% stake in Casa Radicci to strengthen its presence in Italy and broaden its portfolio of Italian specialty products.
Developing Markets & Activities segment generated sales of €3,305 million, compared with €2,950 million at 30 September 2025, representing an increase of 12.0%. This growth was mainly driven by a positive scope effect of 14.2%, reflecting the new Chocolate and Quata activities. On a like-for-like basis, organic growth was 0.2%, with improvement in the third quarter, particularly in the Americas region and in the Ingredients activities.

The Group’s CSR commitments
In a context marked by exceptional climate conditions across Europe, SAVENCIA continued during the third quarter to implement its Water Roadmaps, with a view to strengthening the resilience of its operations in the regions where the Group operates. Industrial teams were particularly mobilized, working alongside local stakeholders to support the responsible and collaborative management of water resources. These actions form part of the Group’s ambition to reduce its water consumption by 30% by 2035 compared with 2019.
