SAVENCIA SA 42 rue Rieussec, 78223 VIROFLAY Cedex – France – T +33 1 34 58 63 00 Société anonyme au capital de 14.032.930 € - 847 120 185 RCS Versailles – VAT: FR 46 847 120 185 activities integrated on April 1 and the acquisition of Quata in Brazil. On a like -for-like basis, activity was down - 1.8%, mainly due to the decline of industrial products’ quotation. Current Operating Profit amounted to €88 million, compared to €103 million in 2025. This contraction can be explained on one hand by a start to the year strongly marked by the negative effects of surplus milk supply in a market saturated by a drop in demand. On the other hand, the integration of chocolate activities contributed negatively over the period, impacted by the Middle East crisis, and a negative effect of inventory valuation in the context of declining quotations. At €13 million, Other operating costs and income decreased by €6 million. Net Income Group share was €38 million, almost stable compared to 2025. SAVENCIA Net financial debt stood at €815 million, compared to €464 million in 2025, an increase of €351 million in connection with the two strategic acquisitions made during the half-year. ***** The Group's CSR commitment This first half of 2026 marks the launch of the Group’s renewed CSR commitments and whose ambitions have been projected for ten years. In regard to environment, the decarbonization trajectory is aligned by design with that validated by the SBTi (Science Based Target initiative): 1.5° by 2035 and net zero by 2050. Efforts are continuing in all areas. In terms of scope 1 and 2, energy -saving measures have been deployed on all sites, integrating managerial routines, and energy conversion projects are gradually being extended.
