Ahold Delhaize reports resilient Q3 2026 results and updates 2026 guidance to reflect business disruption caused by recent cybersecurity incident * Through our family of great local brands, we remain closely connected to the needs of customers and communities. Disciplined investments in value, quality and convenience are strengthening our competitive positions and enabling us to continue to gain market share. This balanced approach supports sustainable, long-term growth and positions us to deliver on our Growing Together strategic ambitions. * Q3 net sales were €23.1 billion, up 1.9% at constant exchange rates and up 2.6% at actual exchange rates. * Q3 comparable sales excluding gasoline increased 0.5% in the U.S. Several market-specific factors, including reduced SNAP benefits, the cyclospora outbreak and egg price deflation, alongside pharmacy pricing changes related to the Inflation Reduction Act, reduced our growth rate by approximately 2.1 percentage points. This was partially offset by 0.2 percentage points due to weather. * Q3 comparable sales excluding gasoline increased 2.1% in Europe. Accelerating volumes amid deflation in most of our European markets highlight the appeal of our brands’ value propositions and convenient shopping solutions. * Ahold Delhaize's online sales increased 8.2% in Q3 at constant exchange rates and 9.0% at actual exchange rates. This was driven by strong growth of 14.2% at constant exchange rates in the U.S., where customers continue to appreciate the convenience, assortments and personalization offered by our brands' online shopping experiences, supported by our strong omnichannel model. * Q3 underlying operating margin was 4.1%, a decrease of 0.1 percentage points at constant exchange rates. A favorable discounting effect on insurance provisions at Ahold Delhaize Group, driven by interest rate developments, was offset by a modest decline in the U.S., in part from cycling prior-year non- recurring items. * Q3 diluted underlying earnings per share (EPS) was €0.69, an increase of 1.4% compared to the prior year at constant exchange rates. * Q3 IFRS operating income was €976 million and IFRS-diluted EPS from continuing operations was €0.72. IFRS results were €30 million higher than underlying results, primarily due to a pension settlement in the U.S. * Q3 free cash flow was €445 million, driven by improvements in working capital, partially offset by higher purchases of non-current assets and new supplier payment regulations in Serbia. * In October, a cybersecurity incident affected our business and, based on current estimations, is expected to reduce Q4 net sales by between €200 million and €250 million and underlying and IFRS operating income by between €75 million and €100 million. In addition, we expect incremental response and remediation costs to have a marginal impact on 2026 IFRS operating income (see Note 13: Subsequent events). * For 2026, the Company now expects (on a 53-week basis): underlying operating margin approaching 4.0% (previously around 4.0%); low-single-digit diluted underlying EPS growth at constant exchange rates (previously mid- to high-single-digit); and free cash flow of around €2.1 billion (previously at least €2.3 billion). * Ahold Delhaize announces a €1 billion share buyback program to start at the beginning of 2027 and we aim to grow our dividend per share for 2026 at a mid-single-digit rate this year, based on this outlook. Zaandam, the Netherlands, November 4, 2026 – Ahold Delhaize, an international food retail group and a leader in both supermarkets and e-commerce, reports third quarter results today.

Comments from Frans Muller, President and CEO of Ahold Delhaize “Our resilient third-quarter performance reflects the progress we are making on the execution of our Growing Together strategy. As households remain focused on value, our brands’ deep understanding of customers enables them to respond with the right combination of affordability, quality, healthy choices and convenience. By listening closely and investing consistently in compelling customer value propositions, we strengthen customer loyalty, supporting positive volume growth in both regions and market share gains across our key markets. “Q3 net sales grew 1.9% at constant rates (increased 2.6% at actual rates), with comparable sales growth excluding gasoline of 1.2%. Strong cost discipline and steady execution of our Save for Our Customers program supported a healthy underlying operating margin of 4.1%, enabling us to absorb cost pressures from, among others, higher gasoline prices while continuing to invest in customer value. On an IFRS basis, we delivered operating income of €976 million. This was higher than underlying operating income, primarily due to a pension settlement related gain in our U.S. business. “In the U.S., net sales increased 1.1% at constant rates (increased 2.6% at actual rates) and comparable sales excluding gasoline grew 0.5%. Importantly, we delivered positive volume growth, reflecting the strength of our brands. Top line growth continued to be influenced by several market-specific factors, including reduced SNAP benefits, the cyclospora outbreak and egg price deflation, alongside pharmacy pricing changes related to the Inflation Reduction Act. Together, these reduced our growth rate by approximately 2.1 percentage points. “Our U.S. brands remain focused on investing in price, expanding own-brand assortments and extending their reach to serve more customers. For example, Hannaford’s renewed focus on everyday low prices and simplified value messaging under a single ‘Save Now’ platform has improved price perception and supported positive volume growth. These efforts are complemented by our omnichannel capabilities, which give customers the convenience to shop with our brands whenever, wherever and however they choose. Online sales grew 14.2%, marking the tenth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth, and online retention continues to strengthen, reaching over 75% quarter-on-quarter. At the same time, we continue to invest in expanding our physical footprint and enhancing the customer experience. Food Lion recently opened one new store and launched omnichannel remodels at 92 stores in its Greensboro, North Carolina, market and preparations are already underway for the next round of remodels in the Richmond and Raonoke markets. This provides a strong runway into 2027, as the brand prepares to further accelerate growth. “In Europe, net sales increased 3.1% at constant rates (increased 2.7% at actual rates) and comparable sales excluding gasoline grew 2.1%. Positive comparable sales growth and accelerating volumes amid deflation in most of our markets highlight the appeal of our brands’ value propositions and convenient shopping solutions. Delhaize continued to perform exceptionally well in Belgium, supported by compelling summer campaigns, strong seasonal assortments and a customer-focused offering that resonated throughout the quarter. In Romania, our complementary portfolio of Mega Image, Profi and Shop & Go positions us well to serve customers across different missions, locations and price points, creating a platform to unlock future growth opportunities. And in Serbia, Maxi is winning back market share through compelling own-brand offerings, attractive promotions and an extensive range of price favorites. “Since the end of the quarter, in October, our business was impacted by a cybersecurity incident. As part of our protocols to assess and mitigate cybersecurity incidents, we took some systems offline to help protect our IT environment. To differing degrees, this mainly affected our online capabilities in the Benelux and the U.S., as well as our Benelux supply-chain operations. Bol was not impacted. This, unfortunately, meant that we were not always able to deliver the level of service our customers can expect from us. We apologize to our brands' customers for the disruption and inconvenience this caused and are deeply grateful for their trust, loyalty and understanding. As our brands welcome them back, we are showing our appreciation through special promotions and other small gestures. “I also want to sincerely thank our colleagues, who worked day and night to get our operations back on track to serve customers. They did this in close, and highly appreciated, cooperation with our partners, authorities and peers. While most of the disruption was contained within two weeks, work continues to fully restore our normal operations. As we all recognize, cyber threats are an increasingly harsh reality of doing business today, and moments like these remind us not only of our shared vulnerabilities, but also of the strength of our relationships and the importance of standing together.

“While the cybersecurity incident has, understandably, demanded significant attention, it is important that we keep it in perspective. Our response demonstrates the resilience of our business; the incident does not define our business. Our strategic priorities remain unchanged, and our focus continues to be on executing our strategy, serving our customers and creating sustainable long-term value. Our resilience enables us to navigate disruption; our strategy ensures we continue to move forward. “Across our business, technology, data and AI are becoming increasingly powerful drivers of productivity, generating savings that we can reinvest in value, service and innovation for our brands' customers. A great example of this is everything we do in mechanization. At Albert Heijn, automated Home Shop Centers have improved productivity by more than 20%, while initiatives at Albert Heijn and bol have increased output capacity by 10%. And what excites me is that we are moving beyond individual success stories. We are scaling what works and bringing proven technologies to more parts of our business. That includes the new Food Lion distribution center in North Carolina and the supply chain projects we are continuing to advance across Europe, creating capacity for future growth, improving efficiency and, in the end, delivering an even better shopping experience for our customers. “Ultimately, that is what these investments are all about: using the scale and capabilities of our business to make everyday life better for our our brands' customers. That goes beyond convenience and value. It is also about helping them make healthier choices. Helping people live healthier lives is a clear opportunity: our latest research among more than 8,000 consumers found that 92% want to eat healthier, yet only 14% believe their diets are very healthy. Our brands are helping bridge that gap in practical and engaging ways. Albert Heijn’s Hamster Chefs product range and Disney Diskeyz campaign inspire families and children to eat more fruits and vegetables. Delhaize is investing in freshness, innovation, convenience and affordability. The GIANT Company offers personalized nutrition guidance, pharmacy expertise and wellness resources for shoppers using GLP-1 medications, helping them on their personal health journeys. Together, these initiatives bring our healthy communities ambition to life, helping customers make choices that work for their needs, lifestyles and budgets, while strengthening the trust and loyalty that underpin long-term growth. “While the majority of value creation in our Growing Together strategy is driven by organic growth opportunities, we are also actively looking to scale our portfolio through acquisitions. Here we follow a disciplined approach and are particularly focused on in-market and adjacent market opportunities, where we already have strong operational presence and brand recognition. We are pleased to announce our agreement to acquire 100% of Tesco Czechia and Slovakia, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including regulatory clearances. Following completion, integration and store portfolio remodeling for long-term success, the combined businesses of our local brand Albert and Tesco Czechia are expected to become the leading grocery retail brand in Czechia by market share and Ahold Delhaize will be established as a significant player in Slovakia, with a leading brand position. This is an excellent example of our Growing Together strategy in action, bringing our local food retail expertise together with a clear capital allocation policy to deliver long-term shareholder returns through multiple levers. “With the year drawing to a close, I am proud of the resilience our brands and teams have demonstrated in navigating dynamic market conditions while continuing to serve customers and advance our strategic priorities. As we look ahead, we remain focused on sustaining momentum, strengthening local execution and accelerating progress across our markets. Our brands are gearing up for the holiday season with compelling promotions and inspiring seasonal assortments, helping customers make the most of the moments that matter with friends and family. As the cybersecurity incident has had an adverse impact on our fourth-quarter performance, we are also updating our outlook for the year. “Based on current estimations, we expect that the incident will reduce net sales by between €200 million and €250 million and underlying and IFRS operating income by between €75 million and €100 million. In addition, we expect incremental response and remediation costs to have a marginal impact on 2026 IFRS operating income. Reflecting these effects, we have updated our full-year outlook. We now anticipate underlying operating margin to approach 4.0% (previously around 4.0%) and diluted underlying EPS growth at constant exchange rates to be in the low-single-digits (previously mid- to high-single-digits). Taking into account the impact of the cybersecurity incident and new supplier payment regulations in Serbia, we now expect free cash flow of around €2.1 billion (previously at least €2.3 billion). “Our commitment to the broader Growing Together targets remains unchanged. Our confidence in the long- term strength of the business is reflected in the continuation of our €1 billion annual share buyback program in 2027 and our expectations to grow our dividend per share for 2026 at a mid-single-digit rate this year.” Interim report, Third quarter 2026 Page 5/31

Ahold Delhaize's net sales were €23.1 billion, an increase of 1.9% at constant exchange rates and up 2.6% at actual exchange rates. Our net sales growth was driven by comparable sales growth excluding gasoline of 1.2%, higher gasoline sales, the Delfood acquisition and net store openings. The Company's Q3 comparable sales excluding gasoline were positively impacted by 0.2 percentage points due to weather and calendar shifts and negatively by 0.4 percentage points due to a reduction in pharmacy prices related to the Inflation Reduction Act. Egg price deflation, a cyclospora produce outbreak, and lower SNAP benefits from program changes in the U.S. had a negative impact of 0.9 percentage points. In Q3, Ahold Delhaize's online sales increased 8.2% at constant exchange rates. This was driven by 14.2% growth in the U.S. Ahold Delhaize's underlying operating margin was 4.1%, a decrease of 0.1 percentage points at constant exchange rates. A favorable discounting effect on insurance provisions at Ahold Delhaize Group, driven by interest rate development, was offset by a modest decline in the U.S., in part, from cycling prior-year non- recurring items. Ahold Delhaize's IFRS operating income was €976 million, representing an IFRS operating margin of 4.2%. IFRS results were €30 million higher than underlying results, primarily due to a pension settlement in the U.S. Diluted EPS from continuing operations was €0.72 and diluted underlying EPS was €0.69, up 1.4% at constant exchange rates compared to last year's results. In the quarter, Ahold Delhaize purchased 8.6 million of its own shares for €280 million, bringing the total amount to €844 million in the first three quarters of the year.

U.S. net sales were €13.3 billion, an increase of 1.1% at constant exchange rates and up 2.6% at actual exchange rates. Net sales growth was driven by 0.5% comparable sales growth excluding gasoline and higher gasoline sales. Comparable sales growth excluding gasoline was driven by continued growth in online sales. Weather had a positive impact of 0.2 percentage points and pharmacy prices related to the Inflation Reduction Act had a negative impact of 0.6 percentage points. Egg deflation, a cyclospora produce outbreak, and lower SNAP benefits from program changes had a negative impact of 1.5 percentage points. In Q3, online sales increased 14.2% at constant exchange rates, marking the tenth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth. Food Lion led brand performance with over 20% growth. Underlying operating margin in the U.S. was 4.3%, down 0.3 percentage points as a result of the cycling of prior-year non-recurring items, price investments, higher utility costs, and the absorption of indirect costs from higher energy prices, partially offset by a favorable mix in pharmacy. The U.S. Q3 IFRS operating income was €607 million, representing an IFRS operating margin of 4.6%. IFRS results were higher than underlying results, primarily due to a pension settlement.

European net sales were €9.8 billion, an increase of 3.1% at constant exchange rates and 2.7% at actual exchange rates. Higher net sales were due to comparable sales growth excluding gasoline of 2.1%, the Delfood acquisition and net store openings. Calendar shifts had a positive impact of 0.1 percentage points. In Q3, online sales increased 3.1%, keeping pace with the prior quarter as we maintained our strong market positions in a competitive and challenging consumer environment. Performance at bol was negatively impacted by an incident impacting the supply chain at one of their warehousing partners and ongoing consumer pressures contributing to downtrading within bol's assortment. Underlying operating margin in Europe was 4.0%, in line with prior year. Lower turnover tax rate (IMCA) and the realization of synergies in Romania were offset by lower performance in Serbia following last year's governmental decree on grocery industry pricing and the absorption of indirect costs from higher energy prices.

Outlook As a result of the cybersecurity incident, we expect, based on current estimations, an adverse impact on our fourth-quarter performance, reducing net sales by between €200 million and €250 million and underlying and IFRS operating income by between €75 million and €100 million. In addition, incremental response and remediation costs are expected to have a marginal impact on 2026 IFRS operating income. Reflecting these effects, we have updated our full-year outlook. We now anticipate underlying operating margin to approach 4.0% (previously around 4.0%) and diluted underlying EPS growth at constant exchange rates to be in the low-single-digits (previously mid- to high-single-digits). Taking into account the impact of the cybersecurity incident and new payment regulations in Serbia, we now expect free cash flow of around €2.1 billion (previously at least €2.3 billion). The following are other changes in the business that impact comparable performance for 2026 and that have been incorporated into our Outlook: • The Inflation Reduction Act is impacting U.S. pharmacy sales. It is expected to have an approximate $450 million negative impact on reported and comparable store sales in the U.S. There is no material impact on underlying operating income. • The acquisition of Delfood closed on February 2, 2026, and is expected to add around €200 million in net sales to our Europe segment. • There will be a 53rd week in 2026, which is expected to have a positive impact of 1.5-2% on net sales and a positive impact of around 2-3% on underlying income from continuing operations. This does not significantly impact underlying operating margin.

Financial review Q3 2026 (compared to Q3 2025) Underlying operating income increased by €13 million to €946 million and was adjusted for the following items, which impacted reported IFRS operating income by €30 million: • Impairments of €8 million (Q3 2025: €18 million) • (Gains) and losses on leases and the sale of assets of €(17) million (Q3 2025: €12 million) • Restructuring and related charges and other items of €(21) million (Q3 2025: nil) The impairments mainly relate to operating stores. The gains on leases and the sale of assets mainly relate to lease modifications and terminations. The restructuring and related charges and other items mainly relate to a pension settlement in the U.S. Income from continuing operations was €625 million, representing an increase of €41 million compared to last year. This was driven by a €73 million increase in operating income, partially offset by higher net financial expenses of €29 million and higher income taxes of €4 million. Free cash flow was €445 million, representing an increase of €56 million compared to Q3 2025. This was caused by an increase in operating cash flows of €134 million, higher net interest and dividend received of €29 million and higher divestments of assets of €2 million, partially offset by higher purchases of non- current assets of €91 million, higher net lease repayments of €13 million and a decrease in dividend received from joint ventures of €5 million. Net debt increased by €126 million to €16.1 billion compared to Q2 2026. This was mainly due to dividends paid of €445 million and the share buyback of €285 million, partly offset by a positive free cash flow of €445 million and a decrease in lease liabilities and other impacts of €159 million. First three quarters 2026 (compared to first three quarters 2025) Underlying operating income increased by €8 million to €2,748 million and was adjusted for the following items, which impacted reported IFRS operating income by €(12) million: • Impairments of €70 million (Q3 YTD 2025: €71 million) • (Gains) and losses on leases and the sale of assets of €(35) million (Q3 YTD 2025: €(4) million) • Restructuring and related charges and other items of €(23) million (Q3 YTD 2025: €30 million) The impairments mainly relate to operating stores in the U.S. The gains on leases and the sale of assets mainly relate to lease modifications and terminations and the sale of investment properties. The restructuring and related charges and other items mainly relate to a pension settlement in the U.S. Income from continuing operations was €1,702 million, representing an increase of €16 million compared to last year. This was driven by a €93 million increase in operating income, partially offset by higher net financial expenses of €64 million, higher income taxes of €12 million and a lower share in income from joint ventures of €1 million. Free cash flow was €747 million, representing a decrease of €358 million compared to last year. This was mainly caused by the decrease in operating cash flows of €257 million, driven by net working capital due to the calendar and seasonal phasing year over year. The remainder of the change in free cash flow compared to the first three quarters of 2025 was caused by an increase in purchases of non-current assets of €93 million, higher net interest paid of €6 million, a decrease in dividends received from joint ventures of €6 million and higher net lease repayments of €2 million, partially offset by higher divestments of assets of €7 million.

Risks and uncertainties Ahold Delhaize’s enterprise risk management program provides executive management with a periodic and holistic understanding of the Company’s key business risks and the management practices, policies and procedures in place to mitigate these risks. Ahold Delhaize recognizes strategic, operational, financial, compliance and sustainability risk categories. The external environment remains challenging and uncertain, with geopolitical volatility, macroeconomic pressures, continued scrutiny of food prices, cyber threats, and nature- and climate-related challenges continuing to present risks to our business. Higher transportation costs linked to the armed conflict in the Middle East are putting pressure on margins. A prolonged continuation of this situation, or other adverse geopolitical developments, could further exacerbate operational and supply chain risks, negatively affect macroeconomic conditions, contribute to inflationary pressures, and increase consumers' focus on price and value. We continue to closely monitor enterprise risks and perform scenario analyses where applicable to assess potential impacts on our business and financial position. Based on these insights, we take steps to strengthen our risk monitoring capabilities and implement measures designed to mitigate risks and increase resilience, including measures to support effective transitions in key leadership roles. Ahold Delhaize has recently experienced a cybersecurity incident affecting parts of its network environment, which disrupted the company's business operations to differing degrees. Through the activation of our cybersecurity response protocols and remediation efforts, we have since restored the majority of our affected operations and engaged relevant authorities and other stakeholders as appropriate. The estimated financial impacts are included in Note 13: Subsequent events. An integrated comprehensive analysis of the principal risks faced by Ahold Delhaize is included in the Risks and opportunities section of Ahold Delhaize’s Annual Report 2025, which was published on February 25, 2026. Independent auditor's involvement The contents of this interim report have not been audited or reviewed by an independent external auditor. Interim report, Third quarter 2026 Page 11/31

Notes to the summarized financial information 1. The Company and its operations The principal activity of Koninklijke Ahold Delhaize N.V. (“Ahold Delhaize” or the “Company”), a public limited liability company with its registered seat and head office in Zaandam, the Netherlands, is the operation of retail food stores and e-commerce primarily in the United States and Europe. The information in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements (“financial statements”) is unaudited. 2. Accounting policies Basis of preparation This summarized financial information has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting.” The accounting policies applied in these financial statements are consistent with those applied in Ahold Delhaize’s 2025 financial statements, except as otherwise indicated below under “New accounting policies effective for 2026.” Historical cost is used as the measurement basis unless otherwise indicated. The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the going concern assumption. All amounts disclosed are in millions of euros (€), unless otherwise stated. Due to rounding, numbers presented may not add up precisely to the totals provided. Ahold Delhaize’s financial year is a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Sunday nearest to December 31 for the Company and our European operations, or the Saturday before the Sunday nearest to December 31 for our operations in the United States. The financial year 2026 consists of 53 weeks, compared with 52 weeks in 2025. It is based on a 4/4/5-week calendar, with four equal quarters of 13 weeks, except for the last quarter of 2026, which has 14 weeks, ending on Sunday for our European operations and on Saturday for our U.S. operations. Risks and uncertainties The principal risks and uncertainties are described in the Risks and uncertainties section. An integrated comprehensive analysis of the principal risks faced by Ahold Delhaize is included in the Risks and opportunities section of Ahold Delhaize's Annual Report 2025, which was published on February 25, 2026. Seasonality Under normal economic conditions, Ahold Delhaize's net sales are impacted by seasonal fluctuations, typically resulting in higher net sales and income in the days leading up to national holidays, such as Christmas and Easter, as well as the Fourth of July and Thanksgiving in the U.S. New accounting policies effective for 2026 The following amendments and revisions to existing standards became effective in the current financial year starting as of December 29, 2025: • Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, “Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments” • Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards – Volume 11 These amendments do not have an impact on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. Business combinations and goodwill During 2026, Ahold Delhaize completed the acquisition of Delfood NV and various other smaller acquisitions. These acquisitions did not have a significant impact on Ahold Delhaize's financial statements. A reconciliation of Ahold Delhaize’s goodwill balance is as follows: € million Goodwill As of December 28, 2025 At cost 8,371 Accumulated impairment losses (8) Opening carrying amount 8,363 Acquisitions through business combinations 14 Transfers to / from assets held for sale (5) Exchange rate differences 119 Closing carrying amount 8,491 As of September 27, 2026 At cost 8,497 Accumulated impairment losses (6) Closing carrying amount 8,491 4. Segment reporting Ahold Delhaize’s retail operations are presented in two reportable segments. In addition, Ahold Delhaize Group is presented separately. Ahold Delhaize Group is not considered a reportable segment as it does not engage in business activities from which it may earn revenues. Ahold Delhaize’s unconsolidated joint ventures JMR – Gestão de Empresas de Retalho, SGPS, S.A. (“JMR”) and P.T. Lion Super Indo (“Super Indo”) are excluded from the segment information below. The accounting policies used for the segments are the same as the accounting policies used for this summarized financial information, as described in Note 2. All reportable segments sell a wide range of perishable and non-perishable food and non-food consumer products. Following the streamlining and integration of the Romanian retail businesses, Profi and Mega Image became a single operating segment in the second half of 2026. This has no effect on reportable segments. Reportable segment Operating segments included in the reportable segment The United States Food Lion, Stop & Shop, The GIANT Company, Hannaford and Giant Food Europe Albert Heijn (the Netherlands and Belgium) Delhaize (Belgium and Luxembourg) bol (the Netherlands and Belgium) Albert (Czech Republic) Alfa Beta (Greece) Ahold Delhaize Romania (Romania) Delhaize Serbia (Serbia) Etos (the Netherlands) Gall & Gall (the Netherlands) Other Included in Other Other retail Unconsolidated joint ventures JMR (49%) and Super Indo (51%) Ahold Delhaize Group Ahold Delhaize Group staff (the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland and the United States) Interim report, Third quarter 2026 Interim financial statements Page 18/31

The following table presents the fair value of financial instruments, based on Ahold Delhaize’s categories of financial instruments, including current portions, compared to the carrying amount at which these instruments are included on the balance sheet. It does not include fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value. The carrying amount of trade and other (non-)current receivables, cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, short-term deposits and similar instruments, and other current financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments and, for receivables, because any expected recoverability loss is reflected in an impairment loss.

13. Subsequent events Cybersecurity incident In October 2026, Ahold Delhaize experienced a cybersecurity incident that mainly affected our online capabilities in the Benelux and the U.S. as well as our Benelux supply-chain operations. Bol was not impacted. We have since restored the majority of our affected operations and engaged relevant authorities and other stakeholders as appropriate. The cybersecurity incident is expected to reduce Q4 net sales by between €200 and €250 million and underlying and IFRS operating income by between €75 million and €100 million. These impacts are reflected in the updated 2026 outlook and financial guidance (see Outlook). In addition, we expect incremental response and remediation costs to have a marginal impact on 2026 IFRS operating income. Announced acquisition of Tesco Czechia and Slovakia On October 30, 2026, Ahold Delhaize announced it has agreed to acquire 100% of Tesco Czechia and Slovakia. The transaction increases Ahold Delhaize's scale in the Central and Southeastern European region and strengthens its ability to compete in rapidly evolving grocery markets.
