2015-2016 Financial Year Turnover
2015-2016 Turnover growth
exceeding objective
In an ever chaotic climate - shaped by the lack of any upturn in consumption and
price war in Europe, economic crisis in Russia and Brazil, high currency
fluctuations - the Bonduelle Group reported another FY of growth on a like for
like basis*. This performance, higher than the announced objective at the
beginning of the FY, underlines the resilience and efficiency of the group's
strategy regarding diversification both in terms of technology (canned, frozen,
fresh processed) and in terms of geography (2/3 Europe, 1/3 non-Europe), by
brands (national and distributors' private labels) or even by distribution
channel (retail, food service, industrial sales).

Over FY 2015-2016 (1(st) of July 2015 - 30(th) of June 2016), the group's
turnover reached 1,967.7 million of Euro, an increase of 2.4% at constant
exchange rates, a growth therefore greater than the objective initially
announced of a 2% increase in turnover on a like for like basis*. After taking
into account the negative impact of foreign exchange rates - mainly the Russian
rubble - the turnover was down to 0.7% in absolute terms for 2015-2016 FY.
Q4 turnover (1(st) of April - 30(th) of June 2016) reported an increase of 1.5%
on a like for like basis* and a fall of 1.8% based on reported figures.
Europe Zone
The turnover of the Europe zone (65% of the total turnover) reported virtual
stability on a like for like basis* both for Q4 (-0.2%) and for the full FY (-
0.4%). Remarkable results were recorded for the retail sales of branded products
(Bonduelle and Cassegrain) in canned, frozen, fresh processed and in food
service with the return of growth in both volume and value for the frozen
operating segment, giving rise to market share gains. The sales growth of
branded products was offset by the lower sales volumes and price declines
observed in the canned operating segment for private labels, segment where,
given the current market conditions, the group has decided to restrict its
activities.
Non-Europe Zone
The Non-Europe zone (35% of the total turnover) confirmed its growth area status
with an annual increase of 8.2% on a like for like basis* for this FY. Given the
adverse exchange rates impacts, the zone recorded a decline of 1.1% based on
reported figures.
In Russia, despite declining markets, the group reported a positive turnover
growth over this FY, thanks to an appropriate pricing and promotional policy,
while maintaining its products accessibility and market shares.
In Northern America, the group continued to consolidate its positions both in
Canada and USA, notably in Canada and for the sales to the US coming from the
Canadian plants thanks to the competitiveness of the American/Canadian dollar
parity.
In Brazil, the group successfully repositioned the Bonduelle branded canned
range as a locally produced premium range moving from volume growth to a more
differentiated and added value offer.
Highlights
Shutdown of the activity of the plant based in Russy-Bémont (Nord-Picardie,
France)
The plan for restructuring its canned industrial facilities in north of France
announced at the company's central works council on the 25(th) of January 2016,
led in June 2016 to the shutdown of the activity of the plant in Russy-Bémont;
the logistical activities are due to continue until the end of September 2016.
Redeployment offers within the group have been proposed to the 62 employees
concerned. A non-recurring charge currently estimated at 9.5 million of Euro
will be recorded in the financial statements on the 30(th) of June 2016 to cover
the costs of the job-saving plan and the depreciation of the installations and
equipment concerned.
Harvests
The beginning of the crops, particularly for peas, proved to be difficult in
Nord Picardie and Russia (heavy rainfall and low temperatures) and in Northern
America (drought). While only covering a part of the summer harvests, ongoing
until October, and a part of the group's production pools, the adverse effects
of bad weather will affect the volume and production costs of the 2016 harvest.
Changes in the group organization
To take into account the size of the commercial and agro-industrial activities
in Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus, the maturity and weight of this area, on the
1(st) of July 2016 all those activities will be brought together to create a
dedicated business unit: Bonduelle Eurasian Markets (BEAM), directly represented
on the Group's Executive Committee.
In addition, a "Prospective and Development" unit has been created. The unit's
mission is to go beyond the group's existing temporal and geographical horizons.
It brings together long term R&D activities, numerical technologies,
international sourcing and manages the group's geographical expansion, outside
the existing Business Units. It also aims at creating and building relationships
with innovative companies sharing the group's strategic ambition of "to be the
world reference in "well-living" through vegetable products."
Outlooks
The growth recorded over this FY and the positive revenue trend observed in the
second half confirm the outlook of a greater current operating profitability at
constant exchange rates for 2015-2016 compared to previous FY, as announced in
March 2016.
