As stated previously, revenue for the third quarter of 2024 excluding tobacco in the Netherlands was corrected. The comparative figures for the third quarter have been adjusted in this press release, as these had been overstated by €5 million.
In the Netherlands, revenue in the third quarter developed in line with this year's average, with volumes up slightly and growth driven mainly by inflation. On the back of the acquisition of GEPU €3 million in revenue was added this quarter. For now, we foresee a similar trend in the market for the coming months as well, and December will, as usual, still be essential for us in the Netherlands.
In Belgium, the summer period was challenging too, but we did manage to end the downward trend over the third quarter. While the revenue base is indeed growing, the onboarding and expansion of new customers is progressing slower than we are used to in the Netherlands. We have therefore adjusted our expectations for the rate of revenue recovery in Belgium accordingly. The revenue trend is positive, though, and we are confident that we are on the path to recovery and growth. The profitability in Belgium will recover at the same pace as revenue.
Based on our current market outlook and expectations for our own development on the market, we still view this year's expected profitability range for the Group as a whole, as communicated in the half-year figures, as achievable.
On 8 January 2026, we will publish our revenue figures for 2025 as a whole, followed by our preliminary unaudited 2025 annual figures on 5 February 2026. On 26 March 2026, we will publish the (audited) annual report.
