FOCUS ON COMPETITIVENESS ENSURES CONSUMER PREFERENCE AND STRENGTHENS MARKET POSITIONS
As expected, after the extraordinary price increases of the last two years, 2024 saw a sharp drop in food inflation coupled with significant cost increases.
Weak consumer demand, especially in our main market, Poland, compounded the difficulties and intensified competition for volumes.
In response to these challenges, our banners continued to invest in price competitiveness and strengthened their value propositions.
As a result of this investment, the Group's sales grew 9.3% (+4.9% at constant exchange rates) to reach 33.5 billion euros, with LFL at 0.6%.
The Group's EBITDA was 2.2 billion euros, and the respective margin fell 41 bps compared to 2023. As anticipated, throughout the year, the Group's operating margins were pressured by basket deflation and significant cost inflation, mainly in labour, following minimum wage increases in the Group's three main countries.
The Group's balance sheet remained solid, with a year-end net cash position (excluding liabilities with capitalized operating leases) of 726 million euros.
The consolidated Pre-Tax ROIC was 20%, compared to 26.8% in 2023. The returns for 2024 reflected the deflationary pressures that slowed sales growth, impacted working capital, and, together with cost increases, pressured the EBIT margin.
In line with the Company's dividend policy, the Board of Directors will propose to the Annual Shareholders' Meeting the payment of a dividend of 0.59 euros per share (gross value). In accordance with the Articles of Association, it will also propose allocating 40 million euros from the 2024 net earnings to the Jerónimo Martins Foundation.
Despite the challenges and the hard work on all business fronts, the Group moved forward with its sustainability agenda, having made substantial progress throughout the year. It is worth highlighting the following:
At the end of the year, Jerónimo Martins was included in more than 140 international sustainability indices.

'In 2024, everything we anticipated in the outlook of the 2023 FY results' release materialized. A combination of factors created a demanding economic environment for our banners: deflation in our baskets after two years of substantial price increases, high cost inflation, strong consumer price sensitivity, and more intense competition in the food retail market. Our banners, particularly Biedronka, focused on volumes and fiercely competed for sales, outperforming, once again, the markets in which they operate.
Our teams worked hard to create saving opportunities for consumers while maintaining the quality of our value propositions. We increased the number of customers on a comparable basis, grew sales in volume, and increased our market shares.
Nearly three months into 2025, uncertainty about geopolitics, socio-economic dynamics, and consumer behavior in our three main countries remains very high. Despite this uncertainty, we remain true to our priorities and our sense of mission: delivering the most competitive prices, a differentiated, high-quality offer, and a good store infrastructure to the consumers who choose our banners.
At the same time, we will work to reinforce efficiency and cost discipline managing the margin pressure resulting from the unavoidable rise in labour costs due to new minimum wage revisions in the countries where we operate.
In this complex context, we remain focused on sustainable growth, while also addressing the environmental and social challenges we face. We will pay special attention to the needs of our teams, both through a fair wage policy and through social welfare and assistance projects that will include, in 2025, the work of the newly created Jerónimo Martins Foundation.'
Our banners will continue to ensure price competitiveness to sustain the preference of those who choose our stores and trust our value propositions, and to strengthen our market positions.
The 9.2% minimum wage increase in Poland will boost household disposable income. However, for now, food retail competition is intense, and overall food consumption is relatively stagnant.
Biedronka, honoring its 30-year commitment to everyday low prices in the Polish market, will continue to lead in price competitiveness and design the best promotions for Polish families. The priority will be sales performance, a big challenge, given the outperformance consistently delivered by our main banner in recent years.
Biedronka will also continue focusing on cost efficiency and productivity measures to protect profitability and respond to the economic environment. At the beginning of 2025, this environment still combines low food inflation with rising wages and stagnant food consumption.
The banner plans to strengthen its market presence by opening 130 to 150 stores (net) designed with formats that have proven to deliver good performance. Additionally, the renovation programme covers 250 to 275 locations. The Company also plans to add a new distribution centre to the existing 17.
The start of operations in Slovakia was marked by the opening of three Biedronka stores and the inauguration of our first distribution centre, earlier this month. By the end of 2026, the operation is expected to have at least 50 stores in the country.


Hebe will continue to strengthen its store network in Poland with c.30 new locations, while the e-commerce channel will remain at the center of its growth and internationalization strategy.
In Portugal, food consumer demand remains promotion-driven. However, consumer demand might grow in response to the 6.1% increase in the minimum wage.
Pingo Doce, which has been successful with its All About Food store concept, will continue its remodeling programme. In 2025, the programme is expected to cover c.50 stores. The Company also plans to open c.10 new locations.
Recheio will remain focused on having the best offers for each of its customer segments. It will also advance its store renovation programme, improving its value proposition for the HoReCa channel. The Amanhecer partnership store network, which already has more than 700 locations, will keep expanding.
In Colombia, consumption growth is expected to remain modest, given the negative impact of ongoing inflation on household real disposable income.
Ara will work to maintain consumer preference, implement its expansion plan, and improve its profitability.
The banner expects to open more than 150 new stores. In addition, c.70 locations previously operated by Colsubsidio, in premium areas, will be progressively integrated in Ara's network, as the local authorities have just cleared the transaction.
To support store network expansion, investment in logistics includes the conclusion of a new distribution centre, which is now operational, and preparatory work for increasing logistics capacity in coming years.
In 2025, the Group investment programme, which remains the top priority for capital allocation, is expected to be in line with recent years: approximately 1.1 billion euros.
In Poland, food inflation averaged 3.3% for the year, declining until March before rising in April due to the reintroduction of VAT on basic food products. Since then, food inflation has continued to climb.
Food retail sales evaluated at constant prices fell in Poland, reflecting a cautious consumer sensitive to prices and promotions.


Biedronka provided the best price opportunities for Polish families throughout the year, maintaining its price leadership and a strong commercial dynamic.
In the year, sales in local currency grew by 4.1%, with LFL at -0.3%. In euros, sales reached 23.6 billion, 9.6% more than in 2023.
The outstanding work of our largest banner, which operated with deflation in its basket throughout the twelve months of the year, delivered sales volumes and market share gains despite a restrained market context and strong comparative for 2023.
EBITDA decreased by 1.3% (-6.3% in local currency). EBITDA margin stood at 7.7% (8.5% in 2023), pressured by operational deleveraging due to basket deflation, price investments, and the decision to significantly increase salaries of operational teams.


Biedronka continued to strengthen its market presence, benefiting from the flexibility it developed to adapt its format to market opportunities. In the year, it opened 186 new stores (161 net additions) and remodelled 280 locations.
The Q-commerce (ultra-fast deliveries), operating under the Biek brand, opened five additional micro fulfillment centres, ending the year with 23.

Hebe's sales grew 18.1% (in local currency), with an 8.5% LFL growth. In euros, sales reached 583 million, 24.3% above 2023.
Online sales accounted for c.20% of total sales for the year.
The good sales performance, careful margin mix management, and tight cost control resulted in a 39.4% increase in EBITDA (+32.4% in local currency), with the respective margin rising to 10.2% (9.1% in 2023).
Hebe opened 36 stores in the Polish market (33 net additions), in addition to two stores in Slovakia and one store in the Czech Republic.
In Portugal, food inflation was 2.4% in 2024, reaching 3% in Q4.
Consumers remained focused on taking advantage of price opportunities and promotions in the food retail market.
The HoReCa channel showed some stagnation compared to previous years' strong performance, mainly due to the fragility of expenditures on food consumed away from home.
Pingo Doce maintained a vigorous commercial intensity and executed its most popular promotional campaigns. The banner continued to expand its new store concept, enhancing its unique offerings in ready-to-eat meal solutions and fresh products.
Sales grew 4.5% to 5.1 billion euros, and LFL was 4% (excluding fuel).
This solid sales performance, supported by the Meal Solutions category and the focus on productivity and operational efficiency, allowed the EBITDA margin to remain stable at 5.8%, despite price investments and significant cost inflation. EBITDA grew 5.1% to reach 296 million euros.
Throughout the year, the banner remodeled 64 stores according to the All About Food concept, opened 10 new locations, and closed three stores.
Recheio leveraged its value propositions tailored to each customer segment. Despite some contraction in consumption in the HoReCa channel, the banner maintained strong dynamism and gained new customers in all its segments. Sales reached 1.4 billion euros, 1.9% above 2023, with LFL at 2.1%.
The company reinforced its commercial assertiveness and competitiveness in a context where the HoReCa channel, namely restaurants, showed signs of pressure, having recorded a contraction of its EBITDA margin, which stood at 5.1% (5.4% in 2023). EBITDA amounted to 69 million euros, 4.6% below the previous year.


Recheio LFL



In Colombia, food inflation declined, averaging 3.2% for the year. Despite this slowdown, food prices remained high and continued to pressure household budgets, driving significant trading down by the consumer.

Ara's commercial strategy focused on offering Colombian families good saving opportunities. Sales grew by 11.1% in local currency, with LFL at 0.2%. In euros, sales reached 2.9 billion, 17% above 2023.
EBITDA was 96 million euros, more than double the value recorded in 2023 (+102.3% in local currency), with the respective margin standing at 3.4% (1.9% in 2023). The increase in the EBITDA margin reflects the change in commercial dynamics and the continuous effort to control costs and increase productivity, which improved operational profitability in a challenging context.
The banner successfully implemented its expansion programme, inaugurating 150 new stores and ending the year with 1,438 locations.
To support the expansion, Ara opened a new distribution centre in early 2024 and invested in other logistic infrastructures, which began operating in early 2025.
Net Financial Results were -267 million euros. The increase in net interest reflects the rise in net debt and the effect of financing Ara in Colombian pesos at a higher interest rate than the Group's average. Interest on capitalized operating leases also increased as a result of our investments.
Other Losses and Gains were -119 million euros, including the initial endowment of 40 million euros for the Jerónimo Martins Foundation and write-offs from renovations and restructuring costs. This amount also includes 27 million euros in exceptional bonuses paid to the operational teams in recognition of their unwavering commitment to deliver sales volume growth in a highly demanding year.
Before the dividends' payment, Cash Flow for the year was negative by 62 million euros, primarily impacted by the effect on growth of the rapid shift from high food inflation to deflation. There was also an increase in interest paid, consistent with the rise in net debt, mainly in Colombia, where the interest rate remains high.
The Investment Programme amounted to one billion euros. The expansion programme absorbed 40% of the year's Capex, with the opening of a total of 385 new stores (352 net additions).
Considering the solid balance sheet and consolidated net earnings for 2024, the Board of Directors will propose to the Annual General Shareholders' Meeting the distribution of 370.8 million euros of dividends in line with the defined policy.
This proposal corresponds to a gross dividend of 0.59 euros per share (excluding the 859.000 shares in the portfolio), representing a payout of c.50% of ordinary consolidated net earnings (or c.58% of the consolidated net earnings) excluding the effects of IFRS16.
The proposed dividend distribution ensures that the Group retains the flexibility to pursue its expansion plans, takes advantage of potential non-organic growth opportunities, and sustains a strong balance sheet.
According to paragraph three of article thirty-first of the company's articles of association, the Board of Directors also proposes allocating an endowment of 40 million euros to the Jerónimo Martins Foundation from the 2024 net earnings.
