Presentation Annual figures 2019
On Thursday, January 23, Sligro Food Group presented the Annual figures 2019.
Result improvement in 2024
The operating result (EBIT) increased by €28 million to €43 million and profit rose from €6 million to €24 million. We succeeded in achieving a pleasing improvement in our result in a challenging market characterised by volume pressures and high cost inflation.
CEO Koen Slippens: 'At the start of the year, it was quickly apparent to us that market conditions would remain challenging, meaning that a strong focus on efficiency and cost reduction would be needed. Long-term high inflation led to restraint in consumer spending, which in turn put pressure on our customers’ volumes and, by extension, our volumes. Cost inflation was sharp, but through enhanced efficiency and focus, we were able to absorb the substantial increase in our procurement costs.
Due to pressure on their revenue model, our customers understandably looked even more closely at our performance as a supplier. So a great deal of attention was focused this year on meeting the required standard in our basic operations and making improvements wherever possible. We executed this very successfully in the Netherlands, and we will continue to give full attention in the coming period to supporting our customers in the challenges they experience. The processes to integrate and optimise the logistics of our overall infrastructure in Belgium that we started in the autumn of 2023 continued into 2024, finally reaching completion at around the mid-year mark. Our operational performance suffered in this phase, costing us customers and revenue. Today, though, our operations, management, control and infrastructure in Belgium are now at the level we have successfully applied in the Netherlands for many years. Based on the feedback we received from customers after the summer, we can be confident about 2025.
Through our vigilant focus on cost control in particular, we achieved a solid improvement in our operating result. The free cash flow was once again positive and the group’s financial position developed positively once again. Based on that result and our dividend policy, we propose a dividend for 2024 of €0.40 per share. Having already paid an interim dividend of €0.30 per share in 2024, a final dividend of €0.10 per share remains.
For us, 2025 is all about healthy revenue growth, against the trend, because we want to outperform general market growth in both countries. Operations are firmly in place in both countries and we see plenty of opportunities but, at the end of the day, the financial result is what counts. This is appropriately reflected in our theme for this year: Results count!'

2023 annual figures
In what was a turbulent year, we managed to increase our market share in both the Netherlands and Belgium. Operating performance improved, as a result of which EBITDA rose by €11 million to €137 million. Net profit for the financial year was negatively impacted by non-recurring expenses and amounted to €6 million for 2023.
CEO Koen Slippens: 'After experiencing considerable pressure on operations and a globally disrupted supply chain in 2022, 2023 was all about restoring stability. Our basic service provision needed to become better and also more efficient, partly in view of the continuing steep inflation in costs. All things considered, we succeeded, with substantially improved and above all consistent average service levels and on-time delivery.
Our customers needed and continue to need good and reliable service more than ever and we see further opportunities for improvement in this area in 2024. After all, despite the on average great performance in 2023, individual customers experience suboptimal service from time to time, which may be a reason for switching suppliers. Our competitors also struggled with the same issues. We welcomed many new customers, but also saw some leave. On balance, the outcome was positive for us and we gained market share in both markets.
The market is in the grip of change and our customers are increasingly price-sensitive. This is no surprise, seeing as high inflation is confronting them with rising costs in virtually every aspect of their business model. Moreover,
many of our customers saw consumers increasingly pare back spending in the ‘out of home’ channel. As a result, we had to keep a tight rein on pricing policy and support our customers through services and product range choices so that they could continue offering acceptable menu prices despite the price inflation. We believe we amply succeeded but this issue is set to persist into the future and thus demands our continued attention.'
