(1) Since the first half of 2024, the Group has been reporting Sodexo Live! revenue separately; it was previously included in the Business & Administrations segment.

(2) As part of the streamlining of the organization during Fiscal 2023, some contracts or operations have been reallocated between segments.

Fiscal 2024 Rest of the World revenues were 4.2 billion euros. Organic growth was +7.3% with double digit growth in APAC driven by Australia and India. The fourth quarter was boosted by 8 points due to the base effect from the prior year's retroactive impact of an accounting change on a large Energy & Resources contract. Barring that, there was a slowdown in the second half due to decelerating price increases and flat activity in China.

Business & Administrations (excl. Sodexo Live!) restated organic growth was +6.9%. Growth in food in India has continued to be very strong, driven by both new and existing business, and in Australia notably from price renegotiation. Brazil and Latin America are still growing in high single digit, although with a slight deceleration in the second half due to a lower pricing impact and a slowing market growth. Chile was impacted by the end of several fixed-term Energy & Resources contracts and lower price increases, while China continued to be impacted especially by downsizing in the tech sector.

Sodexo Live! revenues (principally airport lounges) doubled due to strong activity as Covid restrictions in airlines were lifted only from January 2023 combined with the opening of new lounges in Hong Kong.

Healthcare & Seniors restated organic growth was +3.6%, with a ramp up of a few contracts in India, offset by slowdown in China and the impact of the exit of low-performing contracts in Brazil during the second quarter last year.

Education restated organic growth was +11.2%, fueled by sustained growth in Brazil and India boosted by both new business and volume growth in existing sites, along with acceleration of growth in China in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024.

The increase in profitability in Fiscal 2024 was driven by operating leverage from higher revenue, enhanced on site productivity, supply efficiencies, and rigorous cost control in central costs, in a normalizing food cost inflation environment.

  • North America Underlying operating profit increased by +11.7% or +14.4% excluding the currency effect, and the Underlying operating margin was up +30 bps to 5.9%, fueled by higher revenue, a focus on labor efficiency, scale up in purchasing within the operations, further supported by strong volume growth from Entegra, the Group's GPO (Group Purchasing Organization).
  • In Europe, Underlying operating profit was up +13.5% or +14.2% excluding the currency effect, and the margin was up +30 bps to 4.0%. This was due to inflation mitigation measures, SKU reduction and enhanced supplier compliance combined with price revisions, particularly in Education in France where there was still a catch-up required.
  • In Rest of the World, Underlying operating profit was up +7.3% or +9.9% excluding the currency effect, and the margin was up +20 bps, or +10 bps excluding the currency effect, to 4.9%. Improvements were driven by cost control, successful price negotiations especially in Australia, and turnaround and/or exit of underperforming contracts in Brazil and in the Middle-East, somewhat offset by demobilization costs in Latin America and by acquisition-related integration costs in China.
