Savencia Fromage & Dairy's sales at 31 March 2023, at €1,669 million, are up €214 million, or 14.7% compared to the previous year. This evolution is mainly due to strong organic growth of 17.6% limited by a negative exchange rate effect of 3.0%, due to the depreciation of the Argentine peso partially offset by the revaluation of the US dollar and European currencies.

Sales of Cheese Products increased by 13.6% at constant structure and exchange rates. This increase is due to the partial pass-through of high inflation in tariffs. Volumes are slightly contracting due to changes in consumer behavior in this inflationary environment. This contraction was limited by the positioning in the first quarter of Easter and solid momentum in international markets.

Sales of Other Dairy Products increased organically by 23.2%. On the European markets, there has been a slowdown in demand and a decline in the prices for industrial products, however less on value-added ingredients. Corman recovers from 2022, which was heavily impacted by the July 2021 floods. The catering continues to grow.

Outlook

Following the takeover in Argentina of the company "Sucesores de Alfredo Williner (Williner)" on April 5, the teams will focus on its successful integration and the development of synergies.

The performance at the beginning of the year remains in line with that of the previous year end, with solid market shares and continued international development. However, in this situation, the prevailing uncertainties (global geopolitics, inflation, energy, purchasing power, dairy economy...) do not provide visibility over 2023.
