'The ongoing global geopolitical uncertainty is affecting consumers' confidence and behaviour, increasing their interest in finding savings opportunities.
In this environment, our banners have reinforced their commitment through price leadership and worked with determination to significantly enhance productivity and efficiency, thereby protecting profitability.
We recognize that maintaining our market position requires both a short-term and a long-term perspective. For this reason, we continue to invest in innovation and in the quality of our product assortment, as well as in improving our store networks and shopping experience through the expansion and remodelling programs carried out by each banner.
As such, and despite the intensity of the competitive contexts and the growing pressure on the cost structure, our banners grew sales and results, while having, over this period, opened 274 stores and remodelled 170 locations.
I therefore thank all the teams for these remarkable three quarters that leave us well-prepared for the decisive Christmas and New Year's season.'
Across our markets, food demand remained cautious throughout the first nine months of the year, as consumers continued to prioritize affordability and promotions. Thanks to the strength and consistency of our banners' value proposition and their firm focus on price leadership, we maintained customer preference and delivered strong sales performance.
A strong focus on cost discipline, efficiency, and productivity, together with sales growth, helped sustain our margins despite rising cost inflation - particularly in salaries - and heightened competitive pressure.
The Group's sales grew by 7.1% (+6.6% at constant exchange rates) and EBITDA increased by 10.9% (+9.9% at constant exchange rates), with the respective margin rising 0.23 p.p. to 6.8%. Overall, all our banners performed well, contributing to this sales and EBITDA delivery.
Net profit was 484 million euros, 10% higher than in the first nine months of the previous year.
The investment programme, our top priority for capital allocation, progressed in line with the plan and amounted to 816 million euros in the first nine months.
At the end of September, the Group's balance sheet showed a net cash position (excluding IFRS16) of 467 million euros.
In Poland, food inflation stood at 5.3% during the first nine months of the year, with Q3 average at 4.7%.
Throughout this period, families restricted food consumption and focused on low prices and promotions, contributing to an intense competitive environment.

Biedronka maintained its commitment to offer the best savings opportunities to Polish consumers.
This leadership, together with the continuous evolution of the assortment and the expansion of the store network, led sales to grow 5.8% in local currency, with LFL at 1.8%, reinforcing market share. In euros, sales reached 18.8 billion, up 7.4% from 9M 24.
In Q3, sales, in local currency, grew by 7.4%, with LFL at 3.6%. In euros, sales amounted to 6.4 billion, a value 8% higher than in Q3 24.
EBITDA increased by 10% (+8.3% in local currency), with the respective margin reaching 7.9% (7.7% in 9M 24). The remarkable performance resulted from the combined focus on sales growth and disciplined cost and productivity management, which enabled the Company to mitigate the pressure from price competition and cost inflation, particularly in salaries.
The execution of store expansion and remodelling programs led to the opening of 111 stores during the period (99 net additions) and the remodelling of 110 locations.

Hebe, operating in an increasingly price competitive market, grew its sales by 5.3% in local currency, with LFL growth of -0.1%, pressured by the unfavourable
context and high basket deflation. In euros, sales reached 451 million, 6.9% above 9M 24.
In Q3, sales in local currency rose by 1.7%, with LFL at -2.7%, totalling, in euros, 154 million, 2.3% ahead of Q3 24.
The banner worked to protect profitability through its sales mix and cost management. Thus, despite pressure on LFL growth, EBITDA increased by 7.2% (+5.6% in local currency), with the respective margin standing at 8.4% (8.3% in 9M 24).
Hebe opened 13 stores in Poland and 2 in the Czech Republic, ending the period with a total of 386 stores in Poland, 5 in the Czech Republic, and 2 in Slovakia.
In Portugal, average inflation for food and non-alcoholic products was 2.6% in 9M and 3.9% in Q3. Food customers continued to be remarkably price-sensitive and promotion-oriented.
2024 2025

Pingo Doce maintained an intense promotional dynamic and proceeded with its remodelling plan as scheduled.
Sales grew by 5.4%, with a strong LFL of 4.1% (excluding fuel) to reach 3.9 billion euros.
In Q3, sales increased by 5% to 1.4 billion euros, with LFL at 4.4% (excluding fuel).
In the first nine months of the year, Pingo Doce opened five stores and remodelled 38 locations.


Recheio reached sales of 1 billion euros, 2.6% above the first nine months of the previous year, with LFL at 2.4%.
The solid sales performance was particularly driven by the competitiveness of the offer designed for the HoReCa channel, which combines price with quality of the assortment, with special emphasis on perishables, and on the service provided.
In Q3, sales reached 391 million euros, 3.9% higher than Q3 24, with LFL at 3.9%, supported by strong performance in the HoReCa segment, with solid growth in customer numbers, and the expansion of Amanhecer partners.
The EBITDA of Distribution Portugal was 287 million euros, 6.8% above the same period of the previous year, with the margin reaching 5.8% (5.7% in 9M 24), driven by strong sales performance and productivity initiatives that mitigated cost pressures.
In Colombia, food inflation was 5% in the first nine months of the year (5.8% in Q3). Household consumption patterns remained very cautious with a strong focus on price.


Ara maintained an intense commercial dynamic, designing its promotional strategy to create significant savings opportunities for Colombian families.
Sales grew by 16.9% in local currency, with LFL at 5.6%. In euros, sales reached 2.3 billion, 9.6% above the 9M 24.
In Q3, sales in local currency rose by 19.5%, including LFL at 6.2%. In euros, sales increased by 14.9% to 798 million.
The banner opened 135 new stores (129 net additions), including the integration throughout the first seven months of 2025 of 70 stores previously operated by Colsubsidio.
EBITDA was 93 million euros, 42.4% above the 9M 24 period (+51.9% in
local currency), with the corresponding margin at 4% (3.1% in 9M 24). The strong margin performance reflects not only sales growth, but also the work initiated in 2024 to protect the gross margin and limit the impact of inflation on costs.

The Investment Programme reached a value of 816 million euros.
In an uncertain environment, our banners remain committed to ensuring price competitiveness, sustaining consumer preference, and reinforcing our market positions.
The 9.2% minimum wage increase in Poland boosted household disposable income. However, competitive intensity shows no signs of easing in a food retail market that offers muted growth.
Biedronka, honouring its 30-year commitment to operating in the Polish market with low prices every day, will continue to lead in price and provide the best savings opportunities for Polish families. The priority will continue to be sales performance, a significant challenge given the consistent outperformance of our main banner in recent years.
To protect profitability and respond to pressure from low basket inflation, rising wage costs, and weak food consumption dynamics in the country, Biedronka will also continue to focus on cost efficiency and implement additional productivity measures.
The banner plans to strengthen its market presence by opening 130 to 150 stores (net) in 2025, with formats that have a proven track record of strong performance. Additionally, the renovation programme is expected to cover c.200 locations in the year. The Company also plans to add a new distribution centre to the existing 17.
The start of operations in Slovakia was marked, in the first three quarters of the year, by the opening of eight Biedronka stores and the inauguration of our first distribution centre. By the end of 2026, the operation is expected to have at least 50 stores nationwide.
Hebe, throughout the first three quarters of this year, responded with reinforced price assertiveness to intensifying competition while operating amid significant deflation in its basket. The banner is working to strengthen cost discipline and mitigate the resulting margin pressure.
Expanding selectively its store network in Poland, Hebe plans to open, in 2025, c.30 new stores, while maintaining the ecommerce channel at the centre of its growth and internationalisation strategy.
In Portugal, despite the 6.1% increase in the minimum wage, food consumer demand remains promotion-driven.
Pingo Doce, which has been benefiting from the success of its All About Food store concept, will continue its remodelling programme that in 2025 is expected to cover c.50 stores. The Company also plans to open c.10 new locations in the year.
Recheio will continue to focus on offering the best deals for each of its customer segments while progressing with its store renovation programme, enhancing the value proposition for the HoReCa channel. The Amanhecer partnership store network, which already has more than 700 locations, will continue to expand.
In Colombia, despite some improvement, consumption growth is expected to remain modest, given the persisting negative impact of ongoing inflation on household real disposable income.
Ara will continue to work on maintaining consumer preference, implementing its expansion plan, and improving its profitability.
The banner expects to open more than 150 new stores in the year. In addition, c.70 locations previously operated by Colsubsidio, in premium areas, were progressively integrated into Ara's network till the end of July.
To support store network expansion, investment in logistics includes the opening of a new distribution centre, which is now operational, and preparatory work to increase logistics capacity in the 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: slightly above 1 billion euros.

To be read with the attached notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Jerónimo Martins, SGPS, S.A. (JMH), is the parent Company of Jerónimo Martins (Group) and has its head office in Lisbon.
The Group operates mainly in the area of Food Distribution in Portugal, Poland, Colombia and, since March 2025, in Slovakia, and in the area of Agrifood Production in Portugal. In 2023 it began activity in other geographies, namely in the Agrifood sector (aquaculture) in Morocco, and in Specialized Retail from Poland in Czechia and Slovakia.
Head Office: Rua Actor António Silva, n.º 7, 1649-033 Lisboa, Portugal.
Share Capital: 629,293,220 euros.
Registered at the Commercial Registry Office and Tax Number: 500 100 144.
JMH has been listed on the Euronext Lisbon since 1989.
The Board of Directors approved these Consolidated Financial Statements on 28 October 2025.
All amounts are shown in million euros (€ million) unless otherwise stated. Due to rounding's, the arithmetic result of the numbers shown in the plots may not exactly match the totals.
JMH condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the interim financial reporting standard (IAS 34), and all other International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and with the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) as adopted by the European Union (EU).
The JMH consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the same standards and accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of the annual financial statements, except for the adoption of new standards, amendments and interpretations, effective as of 1 January 2025, and essentially including an explanation of the events and relevant changes for the understanding of variations in the financial position and Group performance since the last annual report. Thus, the accounting policies as well as some of the notes from the 2024 annual report are omitted because no changes occurred, or they are not materially relevant for the understanding of the interim financial statements.
As mentioned in the Consolidated Financial Statements chapter of the 2024 Annual Report, note 28 - Financial risks, the Group, as a result of its normal activity, is exposed to several risks which are monitored and mitigated throughout the year. During the first nine months of 2025, there was no material changes in addition to the notes detailed below, that could significantly change the assessment of the risks that the Group is exposed to.
In November 2024, the EU issued the following Regulation, which was adopted by the Group with effect from 1 January 2025:
| EU Regulation | IASB Standard or IFRIC Interpretation endorsed by EU |
Standard / interpretation issued in |
Mandatory for financial years beginning on or after |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regulation no. 2862/2024 | IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability (amendments) |
August 2023 | 1 January 2025 |
The Group adopted the above amendments, with no impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In 2025, the EU endorsed several amendments issued by the IASB, to be applied in subsequent periods:
| EU Regulation | IASB Standard or IFRIC Interpretation endorsed by EU |
Standard / interpretation issued in |
Mandatory for financial years beginning on or after |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regulation no. 1047/2025 | IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (amendments) |
May 2024 | 1 January 2026 |
| Regulation no. 1266/2025 | IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity (amendments) |
December 2024 |
1 January 2026 |
| Regulation no. 1331/2025 | Annual Improvements to IFRS's - Volume 11: IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows (amendments) |
July 2024 | 1 January 2026 |
The above amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026 and have not been applied in preparing these Consolidated Financial Statements. None of these changes are expected to have a significant impact on the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements.
IASB issued in 2025 the following amendments that are still pending endorsement by the EU:
| IASB Standard or IFRIC Interpretation | Issued in | Expected application for financial years beginning on or after |
|---|---|---|
| IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures (amendments) | August 2025 | 1 January 2027 |
Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting these new amendments, and so far, does not expect any impact on the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements.
Except as disclosed above, the Group has not changed its accounting policies during the first nine months of 2025, nor were identified errors regarding previous years, which compel the restatement of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency (euro) at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date.
At the balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on that date, and exchange differences arising from this conversion are recognised in the income statement. When qualifying as cash flow hedges or hedges on investments in foreign subsidiaries or when classified as other financial investments, which are equity instruments, the exchange differences are deferred in equity.
The main exchange rates applied on the balance sheet date are those listed below:
| Euro foreign exchange reference rates (x foreign exchange units per 1 euro) |
Polish Złoty (PLN) |
Colombian Peso (COP) |
|---|---|---|
| Rate at 30 September 2025 | 4,2698 | 4.580,50 |
| Average rate for the period | 4,2409 | 4.615,32 |
| Rate at 30 September 2024 | 4,2788 | 4.662,25 |
| Average rate for the period | 4,3049 | 4.325,81 |
In addition to these currencies, the Group carries out transactions on other currencies and holds subsidiaries with other functional currencies, which, however, have no materiality.
Segment information is presented in accordance with internal reporting to Management. Based on this report, the Management evaluates the performance of each segment and allocates the available resources.
Management monitors the performance of the business based on a geographical and business perspective. Since the business units in the distribution area in Portugal share a set of competences, the Group analyses, on a quarterly basis, its segments in an aggregate performance perspective. In addition, the Group also separates the business units Poland Retail, Poland Health and Beauty, and Colombia Retail. Apart from these there are also other businesses which due to their low materiality, are not reported separately.

In 2025 the Corporate Income Tax rate (CIT) applied to companies operating in Portugal is 20% (2024: 21%). For companies with a positive tax result, there is a surcharge of 1.5% regarding municipal tax, and an additional state tax that varies between 3%, 5% and 9%, for taxable profits higher than €1.5 million, €7.5 million and €35 million, respectively.
In Poland, for 2025 and 2024, the income tax rate applied to taxable income is 19%.
In Colombia, the income tax rate is 35% in 2025 and 2024.
Jerónimo Martins and the subsidiaries that are part of its full consolidation perimeter, are covered by the European Union regulation, known as Pillar 2, in which Sociedade Francisco Manuel dos Santos Holding N.V. (SFMS) is the ultimate parent entity of the taxed Group.
This regulation aims to determine any additional tax that may be due with respect to each of the jurisdictions where the Group operates, which presents an effective tax rate lower than 15%, assessed in accordance with the legislation adopted by each of the geographies.
Based on the financial and tax information disclosures by country or jurisdiction for the fiscal years 2023 and 2024, Jerónimo Martins expects that no additional tax will be due in the jurisdictions where it operates for the 2025 reference period, due to the application of the Transitional CbCR Safe Harbours provisions

Some subsidiaries of the Group have entered into confirming protocols with financial institutions, of voluntary adherence by suppliers, which allow them to anticipate the receipt of their invoices to approximately 7 days. The Suppliers' heading includes the amount of €810 million (dec 2024: €882 million), already received by suppliers, relating to liabilities covered by these protocols.
During the first nine months of 2025, the following changes occurred to the contingencies mentioned in the 2024 Annual Report:
e) The PTA assessed, for the period from 2016 to 2019, JMR SGPS and JMH (as the head of the Tax Group in which Recheio SGPS is included), the amounts of €122 million and €30 million, respectively, related to the taxation in CIT of ¼ of the results generated in internal operations of the Tax Group, in each of these years. As explained in the 2018 Annual Report (and previous years), this assessment results from the application of the transitional rule included in the Portuguese State Budget of 2016 (and then in the next three budgets). The Management, supported by its lawyers and tax advisers, believes that the company is right. As such, appeals have already been filed to oppose the said assessments. Regarding JMR SGPS´s 2016 case, and JMH's 2018 case, the Lisbon Tax Court decided in favour of the PTA, thus JMR and JMH will appeal from those decisions. Regarding JMH's 2017 case, after the Lisbon Tax Court decided in favour of the PTA, JMH appealed to the Supreme Administrative Court which has decided favourably to JMH and declared as unconstitutional the 2017 State Budget legal norm, Tax Authorities have already appealed to the Constitutional Court, therefore the Company will continue its defense;
In July 2025, the subsidiary Pingo Doce – Distribuição Alimentar, SA received a notification from the Portuguese Social Security Institute requesting the voluntary payment of €9.6 million, corresponding to contributions allegedly due under the Social Security Tax (Taxa Social Única - TSU), related to extraordinary benefits granted to employees between May 2021 and September 2023. The Company's management, supported by legal and tax opinions issued by external advisors, believes that the claimed contributions are not legally owed. Accordingly, the Company will take all appropriate procedural steps, within the applicable legal deadlines, to challenge the legality of the assessment through judicial means.
56.136% of the Group is owned by the Sociedade Francisco Manuel dos Santos, B.V., with Sociedade Francisco Manuel dos Santos Holding N.V. the entity that qualifies as the ultimate parent company of the Group.
