Edmond Scanlon, Chief Executive Officer
"The first half of the year reflected a good performance particularly given market conditions, where we delivered volume growth and strong margin expansion, driving constant currency EPS growth of 9.8%. Volume growth was led by a strong performance in the Americas, with Europe in line with expectations, and growth in APMEA reflective of variable market dynamics. Our strong EBITDA margin expansion was driven by efficiencies delivered through Accelerate Operational Excellence as well as portfolio and product mix benefits. We continued to strategically develop our business, including expanding our capacity within APMEA and LATAM, and further investing in our taste and bio-fermentation technology capabilities across the business. Looking to the remainder of the year, while recognising a heightened level of market uncertainty, we remain well positioned for volume growth and strong margin expansion, as we continue to support our customers as an innovation and renovation partner."
Markets and Performance
The demand environment across food and beverage markets remained soft through the period, reflective of cautious consumer behaviour, given the level of macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty across different geographies. Customer innovation centred around new and differentiated flavour combinations, products with functional health benefits and relative value options. Renovation activity around enhancing nutritional characteristics of products continued to be a key area of focus for customers, particularly in the North American market. Reported revenue increased by 1.3% to €3.5bn in the period, comprising volume growth of 3.0%, pricing of 0.2%, a favourable transaction currency impact of 0.3%, unfavourable translation currency of 1.9%, contribution from acquisitions of 0.6% and the effect from disposals of 0.9%. EBITDA increased by 7.5% to €556m, with EBITDA margin increasing by 100bps to 16.1%, driven by benefits from the Accelerate Operational Excellence programme, operating leverage, product mix, and the positive effect from acquisitions and disposals. Constant currency adjusted earnings per share increased by 9.8% to 209.2 cent and an increase of 7.8% in reported currency. Basic earnings per share increased by 9.4% to 182.4 cent. Free cash flow was €309m with cash conversion of 89%² reflective of an investment in working capital lapping a significantly favourable working capital benefit in the comparative period (H1 2024: Free Cash Flow €445m³). Cash generated from operations was €459m (H1 2024: €431m³). The interim dividend of 42.0 cent per share reflects an increase of 10.2% over the 2024 interim dividend. During the period, the Group repurchased €256m of Kerry Group plc 'A' ordinary shares under its share buyback programmes.

² Cash conversion calculated based on average working capital.
³ Note: H1 2024 includes Kerry Dairy Ireland.

Business Review
Continued strong end market outperformance
> Volume growth of 3.0% > Growth led by Beverage, Bakery and Snacks EUMs > Pricing of 0.2% reflected limited overall input cost inflation
Business volume growth in the period was well ahead of food and beverage end markets, supported by continued product renovation activity in the retail channel and continued innovation in the foodservice channel. Growth in the period was led by Beverage, Bakery and Snacks end markets, supported by strong growth in savoury taste and Tastesense^TM salt and sugar reduction technologies, as well as integrated solutions and Kerry's botanicals, natural extracts and proactive health ingredients. Volume growth in foodservice of 4.6% represented a significant channel outperformance in the period, given soft traffic data. This growth was driven by strong innovation activity including new menu items, seasonal launches and continued product renovation. Growth in the retail channel was supported by a step-up in retailer brand innovation and nutritional enhancement renovation activity with a range of customers. Business volumes in emerging markets increased by 5.6% in the period, led by a strong performance in Southeast Asia and LATAM. Within the Pharma & other EUM, volume growth was driven by cell nutrition and proactive health ingredients for supplement applications.

Growth in Bakery was driven by taste and texture solutions as well as enzymes, while performance within the Meat end market reflected softer overall category volumes. In Beverage, good performance was achieved within the refreshing and low/no alcohol categories through botanicals and natural extracts. Business developments within the region included the continued investment in enhancement of coffee extraction capabilities for food and beverage taste applications.

Revenue
Continuing Group revenue for the period was €3,463.1m (H1 2024: €3,419.2m), comprising volume growth of 3.0%, an overall pricing increase of 0.2%, favourable transaction currency of 0.3%, unfavourable translation currency of 1.9%, contribution from acquisitions of 0.6% and the effect from disposals of 0.9%, resulting in an overall increase of 1.3%.

EBITDA & Margin %
Group EBITDA on a continuing basis increased by 7.5% to €555.9m (H1 2024: €517.2m). Continuing EBITDA margin of 16.1% (H1 2024: 15.1%) increased by 100bps primarily driven by the benefits from the Accelerate Operational Excellence Programme, operating leverage, product mix and the positive effect from portfolio developments.

Finance Costs (net)
Finance costs (net) were €26.5m (H1 2024: €27.8m). Interest income increased year on year due to interest on the vendor loan note, fixed dividend income from the retained investment in Kerry Dairy Ireland and higher deposit interest rates on a higher cash balance, offset by interest on the €1bn senior notes issued in September 2024.

Taxation
The tax charge for the period before non-trading items was €53.6m (H1 2024: €49.5m) representing an effective tax rate of 14.4% (H1 2024: 14.5%) and is reflective of the geographical mix of earnings.

Non-Trading Items
During the period, the Group incurred an overall non-trading charge of €15.0m (H1 2024: €20.2m charge) net of tax. The charge in the period is primarily related to the completion of the Accelerate Operational Excellence Transformation Programme and the launch of the Accelerate 2.0 programme.

Foreign Exchange Rates
Group results are impacted year on year by fluctuations in exchange rates versus the euro which resulted in an adverse translation impact of 1.9% on revenue. The impact was more pronounced on the retranslation of net assets primarily due to the weakening of the USD versus the EUR through the period. The primary rates driving the currency impact on net assets were USD, CNY and GBP which had closing rates of 1.17 (FY 2024: 1.04), 8.39 (FY 2024: 7.53) and 0.85 (FY 2024: 0.83) respectively.

Free Cash Flow
The Group achieved free cash flow of €308.6m (H1 2024: €445.4m) reflecting 89% cash conversion in the period.

Cash conversion is free cash flow expressed as a percentage of adjusted earnings after taxation.
H1 2024 includes Kerry Dairy Ireland which was divested on 31 December 2024.

Return on Average Capital Employed (ROACE)
Group ROACE at the period end was 10.7% (H1 2024: 10.3%) reflective of the increase in profits in the period and the movement in average capital employed.

Net Debt
Net debt at the end of the period was €2,055.8m (31 December 2024: €1,925.8m). The increase relative to December reflects strong business cash generation offset by the dividends and the Share Buyback Programme.

In August 2024, the Group established a €3bn EMTN programme for future Euro public bond issuances. In September 2024, the Group issued €1bn of new public bonds under this programme and the Group has €950m of senior notes repayable in September 2025.

Liquidity Analysis
The Group's balance sheet is in a strong position with a Net debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.7 times.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties
Details of the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group can be found in the 2024 Annual Report on pages 49 to 54 and continue to be the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group for the remaining six months of the financial year. These risks include but are not limited to; portfolio management, geopolitical, emerging markets and macroeconomic environment, business acquisition and divestiture, climate change and environmental, people, food safety and quality, healthy & safety, margin management, cyber security and ICT resilience, operational and supply chain resilience, intellectual property, legal, regulatory and ethical compliance, taxation and treasury. The Group continues to manage the interdependency of these risks and actively manages all risks through its control and risk management process.

Dividend
The Board has declared an interim dividend of 42.0 cent per share, compared to the prior year interim dividend of 38.1 cent, payable on 7 November 2025 to shareholders on the record date 10 October 2025.

Share Buyback Programme
In April 2025, the Board approved a new Share Buyback Programme of up to €300 million. The Share Buyback Programme is underpinned by the Group's strong balance sheet and cash flow and is aligned to Kerry's Capital Allocation Framework. The programme commenced on 20 June 2025 and will end no later than 27 February 2026. In the period from 20 June 2025 to 30 June 2025 the Company purchased 144,699 shares at a total cost of €13.5m.

The previous Share Buyback Programme announced in November 2024, commenced on 12 November 2024, and was completed on 20 June 2025. In the period to 30 June 2025, the Company acquired 2,537,893 shares at a cost of €242.7m resulting in a total number of shares acquired as part of this programme of 3,181,972 at a total cost of €300.3m including transaction costs of €0.3m.

Board & Management Changes
The Board announces the intention of Mr. Gerry Behan to retire from his position at Kerry Group plc and as an Executive Board Director as of 31 December 2025, and over the coming months will be transitioning his responsibilities to members of the Executive leadership team. Chairman Tom Moran commented "on behalf of the Board, I would like to extend our gratitude to Gerry for his exceptional contribution to the growth and development of Kerry across a long and distinguished career since joining in 1986, and we wish him the very best for the future".

Future Prospects
Kerry's strong end market outperformance in the first half of the year demonstrates the strength of its strategic positioning within its markets, channels and across its customer base.

Looking to the remainder of the year, while recognising a heightened level of market uncertainty, Kerry remains well positioned for volume growth and strong margin expansion, as it supports its customers as an innovation and renovation partner.

Kerry expects volume growth for the full year to be similar to the first half, with margin expansion in the second half ahead of expectations, and maintains its constant currency adjusted earnings per share guidance of 7% to 11% growth in the full year.

Note: Guidance range based on adjusted earnings per share of €467.5 cent for FY 2024 \| Guidance range stated post ~2% dilution in 2025 from the Phase 1 disposal of Kerry Dairy Ireland, which completed on 31 December 2024 \| Foreign currency translation expected to be a headwind of 4%-5% on adjusted earnings per share in 2025 \| Guidance based on average number of shares in issue of ~165m.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
for the half year ended 30 June 2025

1. Accounting policies
These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the half year ended 30 June 2025 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'. The Group year end financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') adopted by the European Union ('EU') which comprise standards and interpretations approved by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB'). The Group financial statements comply with Article 4 of the EU IAS Regulation and Company law. The accounting policies applied by the Group in these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are the same as those detailed in the 2024 Annual Report.

Following the disposal of 70% of Kerry Dairy Holdings (Ireland) Limited ('Kerry Dairy Ireland') and related assets, and in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 5 'Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations', the results of Kerry Dairy Ireland to 31 December 2024, the date of disposal, and the results at 30 June 2024 have been presented within profit from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Income Statement.

In preparing the Group Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Segmental analysis
Effective 1 January 2025, the Group's reportable segments changed from two to the following three segments: Europe, Americas and APMEA (Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa), following the sale of Kerry Dairy Ireland in 2024. The Americas operating and reportable segment is an aggregate of the North America and LATAM operating segments which share similar economic characteristics. Judgement has been applied in concluding that these operating segments share similar economic characteristics, which is supported by the assessment that these operating segments share similar EBITDA margins, products, production processes, type of customers and distribution channels. In the Group's financial reporting for 2025, comparative information for 2024 has been restated to reflect the changes in reportable segments. Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal financial information provided to the Group's Chief Operating Decision Maker (the Executive Directors) who is responsible for making strategic decisions, allocating resources, monitoring and assessing the performance of each segment. EBITDA by segment is the key measure utilised in assessing the performance of operating segments within the Group. Other Corporate activities, such as the cost of corporate stewardship, are reported under the heading 'Unallocated Corporate'. Non-trading items, net finance costs, income taxes, borrowings, deferred tax balances and intangible assets are managed on a centralised basis and therefore, these items are not allocated between operating segments and are not reported per segment in note 2.

Going concern
The Group Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on the going concern basis of accounting. The Directors have considered the Group's business activities and how it generates value, together with the main trends and factors likely to affect future development, business performance and position of the Group including liquidity and access to financing as outlined in note 10 and the potential impacts of climate, geopolitical, technological and macroeconomic environment related risks on profitability. The going concern of the Group was also assessed by considering the potential impact of climate-related risks on profitability and liquidity, macroeconomic and geopolitical developments, customer inventory management and changing interest rates during the period. There are no material uncertainties that cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern over a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.

The Directors report that they have satisfied themselves that the Group is a going concern, having adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In forming this view, the Directors have reviewed the Group's forecast for a period not less than 12 months, the medium-term plan and its cashflow implications have been taken into account including proposed capital expenditure, and compared these with the Group's committed borrowing facilities and projected gearing ratios.

The following Amendments are effective for the Group from 1 January 2025 but do not have a material effect on the results or financial position of the Group:																																						Effective Date
- IAS 21 (Amendments)								The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates																														1 January 2025

The Group is currently evaluating the impact of the following Standards and Amendments on future periods:																																						Effective Date
- IFRS 7 & IFRS 9 (Amendments)								Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments																														1 January 2026
- IFRS 7 & IFRS 9 (Amendments)								Contracts referencing Nature-dependent Electricity																														1 January 2026
- IFRS 18								Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements																														1 January 2027
- IFRS 19								Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures																														1 January 2027

2. Analysis of results
For the period ended 30 June 2025 and comparative periods, the Group has determined it has three operating segments: Europe, Americas and APMEA which are leading providers of taste and nutrition solutions for the food, beverage and pharmaceutical markets. The Group utilises a broad range of ingredient solutions to innovate with its customers to create great tasting products, with improved nutrition and functionality, while ensuring a better impact for the planet. Kerry is driven to be its customers' most valued partner, creating a world of sustainable nutrition.

Following the sale of Kerry Dairy Ireland (which formed the Dairy Ireland segment) as described in note 4, effective from 2025 the Group's reportable segments have changed from two to the following three segments: Europe, Americas and APMEA. This realignment reflects the way resources are allocated and performance is assessed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker from 2025 following the discontinuation of the Dairy Ireland segment. In the tables below, comparative information for 2024 have been restated to reflect the changes in reportable segments and the impact of discontinued operations.

Revenue analysis
Disaggregation of revenue from external customers is analysed by End Use Market (EUM), which is the primary market in which Kerry's products are consumed and by primary geographic market. An EUM is defined as the market in which the end consumer or customer of Kerry's product operates. The economic factors within the EUMs of Food, Beverage and Pharma & other and within the primary geographic markets which affect the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are similar.

* As re-presented to reflect the impact of discontinued operations. See note 4 for further information.

(i) Acquisition integration costs
These costs of €3.1m (30 June 2024: €2.9m; 31 December 2024: €4.8m) reflect the relocation of resources, the restructuring of operations in order to integrate the acquired businesses into the existing Kerry operating model and external costs associated with deal preparation, integration planning and due diligence. A tax credit of €0.6m (30 June 2024: €0.4m; 31 December 2024: €0.9m) arose due to tax deductions available on acquisition related costs.

(ii) Accelerate Operational Excellence
These costs of €12.2m (30 June 2024: €22.3m; 31 December 2024: €43.3m) predominantly reflect cost of streamlining operations, project management costs and consultancy fees incurred in the period relating to the completion of the Accelerate Operational Excellence transformation programme and the launch of the Accelerate 2.0 programme, which will focus on footprint optimisation and enabling digital excellence across the organisation. Under footprint optimisation the Group will be leveraging the capacity utilisation benefits realised under the Accelerate Operational Excellence programme to support in the reduction of its manufacturing footprint across all regions aligned to the Group's business development and growth ambitions. Kerry Digital Excellence will focus on driving enhanced business performance and productivity through digital enablement initiatives across operations, global business services, commercial and research & development. A tax credit of €2.4m (30 June 2024: €4.1m; 31 December 2024: €9.3m) arose due to tax deductions available on accelerate operational excellence costs.

(iii) (Loss)/profit on disposal of businesses and assets
The Group disposed of property, plant and equipment primarily in the Americas for a consideration of €2.7m resulting in a loss of €0.3m during the period ended 30 June 2025. A tax credit of €0.1m arose on the disposal of assets for the period. In addition, there was a final settlement of €2.5m recorded reflecting the movement in working capital and disposal related costs following the finalisation of the completion accounts relating to the sale of the Group's shareholding in Kerry Dairy Holdings (Ireland) Limited.

In the period ended 30 June 2024, the Group disposed of property, plant and equipment primarily in North America and Europe for a consideration of €2.2m resulting in a profit of €0.9m. A tax charge of €0.4m arose on the disposal of assets for the period.

In the year ended 31 December 2024, the Group disposed of a non-core business and assets in Europe, APMEA and North America for a combined consideration of €4.6m resulting in a loss of €7.7m including an impairment of €1.4m in the Americas. A tax credit of €2.0m arose on the disposals.

(iv) Profit on disposal of businesses and assets - discontinued operations

As of 30 June 2025, the Group holds an interest bearing vendor loan note which was entered into as part of the consideration for the sale of the trade and assets of the Sweet Ingredients Portfolio. The carrying amount of the debt receivable is €129.4m, this represents the amount due from third parties, and is initially recognised at fair value of €125.0m and interest capitalised on a bi-annual basis.

The Phase 1 vendor loan note receivable of €17.8m arose on the completion of Phase 1 of the sale of Kerry Dairy Ireland adjusted for an expected credit loss assessment of €0.2m.

As the Group objective for the vendor loan note and vendor loan receivable is to collect the contractual cash flows when due, the Group measures at amortised cost using the effective interest method subsequent to initial recognition adjusted for any expected credit loss assessment.

The Group's other financial asset of €148.5m is the carrying value of the retained investment in Kerry Dairy Ireland of €150m net of a downwards adjustment through profit and loss for associated credit risk of €1.5m.

Net related deferred tax (liability)/asset																								(11.5)								6.8														(4.7)
Net recognised surplus/(deficit) after deferred tax																								81.0								(21.3)														59.7

At 30 June 2025, the net surplus before deferred tax for the defined benefit post-retirement schemes was €64.4m (30 June 2024: €59.9m; 31 December 2024: €67.3m). This was calculated by rolling forward the defined benefit post-retirement schemes' liabilities at 31 December 2024 to reflect material movements in underlying assumptions over the period while the defined benefit post-retirement schemes' assets at 30 June 2025 are measured at market value. The decrease in the net surplus before deferred tax of €2.9m was driven by lower asset values which were partially offset by favourable movements in financial assumptions.

The surplus at 30 June 2025, 31 December 2024 and 30 June 2024 relates to the Irish scheme. The surplus has been recognised in accordance with IFRIC 14 'The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction' as it has been determined that the Group has an unconditional right to a refund of the surplus.

All Group borrowings and overdrafts and interest rate swaps are guaranteed by Kerry Group plc. No assets of the Group have been pledged to secure these items.

In June 2025 the Group exercised the second of two "plus one" extension options on its €1,500m revolving credit facility to extend the maturity of this facility to June 2030.

As at 30 June 2025, the Group's debt portfolio included:
- €750m of Senior Notes issued in 2015 and €200m issued in April 2020 as a tap onto the original issuance (the 2025 Senior Notes). €175m of the issuance in 2015 were swapped, using cross currency swaps, to US dollar;
- €750m of Senior Notes issue in 2019 (the 2029 Senior Notes). No interest rate derivatives were entered into for this issuance;
- €750m of sustainability-linked bond notes issued in 2021 (the 2031 SLB Senior Notes). No interest rate derivatives were entered into for this issuance;
- €1,000m of Senior Notes issued in 2024 under a €3,000m EMTN programme - €500m 2033 Senior Notes and €500m 2036 Senior Notes.

The adjustment to Senior Notes classified under liabilities at fair value through profit or loss of €0.4m (30 June 2024: €5.4m; 31 December 2024: €3.3m) represents the part adjustment to the carrying value of debt from applying fair value hedge accounting for interest rate risk. This amount is primarily offset by the fair value adjustment on the corresponding hedge items being the underlying cross currency interest rate swaps.

ii) The Group's exposure to interest rates on financial assets and liabilities are detailed in the table below including the impact of cross currency swaps ('CCS') on the currency profile of net debt:

At 30 June 2025, the Group had cash on hand of €1,460.0m. At the period end, the Group had an undrawn committed Syndicate revolving credit facility of €1,500m. Cash at bank and in hand includes an amount of €780.0m held on short-term deposit of which €229.3m was held under a Sustainable Deposits programme.

of businesses:							Current liability										Level 3									(22.9)										(7.6)											(7.6)
There have been no transfers between levels during the current or prior financial period.

Financial instruments recognised at fair value are analysed between those based on:
- quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1);
- those involving inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (Level 2); and
- those involving inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

Level 3 reconciliation:
- Forward commodity contracts: The movement in the period was primarily due to changes in market valuation.
- Financial asset investments: The movement during the period is due to the impact of foreign exchange translation.
- Other financial assets: The movement in the current period relates to the accrual for the fixed dividend receivable from Kerry Dairy Ireland measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) and included in finance income. See note 5 for further information.
- Deferred payments on acquisition of businesses: The balance remained unchanged during the period, with the only movement being its ageing towards current classification.

b) Fair value of financial instruments carried at amortised cost
Except as defined in the following table, it is considered that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at amortised cost in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements approximate their fair values.

11. Business combinations
The acquisition method has been used to account for businesses acquired in the Group's Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements. Given that the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities recently acquired is still in progress, some of the values are determined provisionally, primarily values relating to property, plant and equipment and liabilities (as not all information is available at this point in time). The valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities will be completed within the measurement period. For the acquisitions completed in 2024, there have been no material revisions of the provisional fair value adjustments since the initial values were established. The Group performs quantitative and qualitative assessments of each acquisition in order to determine whether it is material for the purposes of separate disclosure under IFRS 3 'Business Combinations'. The acquisition completed during the period was not considered material to warrant separate disclosure.

In April 2025, the Group completed an asset acquisition with coffee extraction capabilities, in the Americas segment for a total consideration of €14.8m, which was paid in full at closing. Net assets acquired from the Martin Bauer Group included brand related intangibles of €0.9m, property, plant & equipment of €6.9m with liabilities of €2.8m giving rise to goodwill of €9.8m.

Shares issued during the period
During the period a total of 239,513 A ordinary shares, each with a nominal value of 12.50 cent, were issued at nominal value per share under the Long-Term and Short-Term Incentive Plans and the All Employee Share Plan.

Share Buyback Programme
In April 2025, the Board approved a new Share Buyback Programme of up to €300 million. The Share Buyback Programme is underpinned by the Group's strong balance sheet and cash flow and is aligned to Kerry's Capital Allocation Framework. The programme commenced on 20 June 2025 and will end no later than 27 February 2026. In the period from 20 June 2025 to 30 June 2025 the company purchased 144,699 shares at a total cost of €13.5m including transaction costs. At 30 June 2025 there was no financial liability recorded in relation to the Share Buyback Programme. Since the period end, and up to 25 July 2025, the Company has announced the purchase of an additional 469,760 shares at a total cost of €42.9m.

The previous Share Buyback Programme announced in November 2024, commenced on 12 November 2024 and was completed on 20 June 2025. The total number of shares acquired during 2024 was 644,079 at a cost of €57.6m. During the period 1 January 2025 to 20 June 2025, an additional 2,537,893 shares were acquired at a cost of €242.7m, resulting in a total number of shares acquired as part of this programme of 3,181,972 at a total cost of €300.3m including transaction costs of €0.3m accrued for at the period end. All shares acquired were A ordinary shares with a nominal value of 12.50 cent. The shares acquired were cancelled immediately following their repurchase.

13. Reserves
Share premium account
Share premium represents the excess of proceeds received over the nominal value of new shares issued.

During the period, the share premium reserve of Kerry Group plc decreased by €1,480.5m to €398.7m (31 December 2024: €1,879.2m; 30 June 2024: €398.7m) increasing distributable reserves by the same amount. This capital reduction was approved by shareholders by way of a special resolution passed on 19 December 2024 and was confirmed by the High Court on 8 April 2025.

16. General information
These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the half year ended 30 June 2025 are not full financial statements and were not reviewed or audited by the Group's auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorised for issue on 29 July 2025. The figures disclosed relating to 31 December 2024 have been derived from the Consolidated Financial Statements which were audited, received an unqualified audit report and have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. This report should be read in conjunction with the 2024 Annual Report which was prepared in accordance with IFRS adopted by the European Union ('EU') which comprise standards and interpretations approved by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB'). The Group financial statements comply with Article 4 of the EU IAS Regulation. IFRS adopted by the EU differs in certain respects from IFRS Accounting Standards issued by the IASB. References to IFRS refer to IFRS adopted by the EU. The accounting policies applied by the Group in these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are the same as those detailed in the 2024 Annual Report.

These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on the going concern basis of accounting as set out in note 1. The Directors report that they have satisfied themselves that the Group is a going concern, having adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In forming this view, the Directors have reviewed the Group's budget for a period not less than 12 months, the five year medium-term plan and have taken into account the cash flow implications of the plans, including proposed capital expenditure, and compared these with the Group's committed borrowing facilities and projected gearing ratios.

Property, plant and equipment decreased by €145.7m to €1,961.0m (31 December 2024: €2,106.7m; 30 June 2024: €2,199.7m) due to acquisitions and additions of €126.3m offset by disposals of €1.4m, depreciation of €109.3m and the impact of foreign exchange translation of €161.3m.

Intangible assets decreased by €311.6m to €5,466.5m (31 December 2024: €5,778.1m; 30 June 2024: €5,859.4m) due to business acquisitions and computer software additions of €18.7m offset by the amortisation charge for the period of €47.5m and the impact of foreign exchange translation of €282.8m.

In relation to seasonality, EBITDA is lower in the first half of the year due to the nature of the food business and stronger trading in the second half. While revenue is relatively evenly spread, margin has traditionally been higher in the second half of the year due to product mix and the timing of promotional activity.

FINANCIAL DEFINTIONS
1. Revenue
Volume performance
This represents the sales performance period-on-period, excluding pass-through pricing on input costs, currency impacts, acquisitions, disposals and rationalisation volumes.

Volume performance is an important metric as it is seen as the key driver of organic top-line business improvement. Pricing therefore impacts revenue performance positively or negatively depending on whether input costs move up or down. A full reconciliation to reported revenue performance is detailed in the revenue reconciliation below.

5. Adjusted Earnings Per Share and Performance in Adjusted Earnings Per Share on a Constant Currency Basis
The performance in adjusted earnings per share on a constant currency basis is provided as it is considered more reflective of the Group's underlying trading performance. Adjusted earnings is profit after taxation attributable to equity holders of the parent before brand related intangible asset amortisation and non-trading items (net of related tax). These items are excluded in order to assist in the understanding of underlying earnings. A full reconciliation of adjusted earnings per share to basic earnings is provided below. Constant currency eliminates the translational effect that arises from changes in foreign currency period-on-period. The performance in adjusted earnings per share on a constant currency basis is calculated by comparing current period adjusted earnings per share to the prior period adjusted earnings per share retranslated at current period average exchange rates.

																							H1 2025															H1 2024
																							EPS					Performance										EPS									Performance
Continuing and Discontinued operations																							cent					%										cent									%
Basic earnings per share																							182.4					9.4%										166.7									(17.4%)

Impact of exchange rate translation (%)																		2.0%									2.0%
Growth in adjusted earnings per share on a constant currency basis (%)																		16.5%									9.8%

6. Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow is EBITDA plus movement in average working capital, capital expenditure net (purchase of assets, payment of lease liabilities, inflow from the sale of assets (net of disposal expenses) and capital grants received), pension contributions paid less pension expense, finance costs paid (net) and income taxes paid.

Free cash flow is seen as an important indicator of the strength and quality of the business and of the availability to the Group of funds for reinvestment or for return to shareholders. Movement in average working capital is used when calculating free cash flow as management believes this provides a more accurate measure of the increase or decrease in working capital needed to support the business over the course of the period rather than at two distinct points in time and more accurately reflects fluctuations caused by seasonality and other timing factors. Average working capital is the sum of each month's working capital over 6 months adjusted for the impact of acquisitions and disposals. Below is a reconciliation of free cash flow to the nearest IFRS measure, which is 'Net cash from operating activities'.

																																	H1 2025																	H1 2024
Continuing and Discontinued operations																																	€'m																	€'m
Net cash from operating activities																																	399.3																	367.0

Capital grants received																																	0.1																	-
Exchange translation adjustment																																	(3.6)																	4.3
Free cash flow																																	308.6																	445.4

7. Cash Conversion
Cash conversion is defined as free cash flow, expressed as a percentage of adjusted earnings after taxation. Cash conversion is an important metric as it measures how much of the Group's adjusted earnings is converted into cash.

																																							H1 2025													H1 2024
Continuing and Discontinued operations																																							€'m													€'m
Free cash flow																																							308.6													445.4

Profit after taxation attributable to equity holders of the parent																																							302.8													291.5

Non-trading items (net of related tax)																																							15.0													20.2
Adjusted earnings after taxation																																							347.4													339.3
Cash Conversion																																							89%													131%

8. Liquidity Analysis
The Net debt:EBITDA and EBITDA:Net interest ratios disclosed are calculated using an adjusted EBITDA, adjusted finance costs (net of finance income) and an adjusted net debt value to adjust for the impact of acquisitions net of disposals and deferred payments in relation to acquisitions.

																																							H1 2025													H1 2024
																																							Times													Times
Net debt:EBITDA																																							1.7													1.6
EBITDA:Net interest																																							22.7													23.2

9. Average Capital Employed
Average capital employed is calculated by taking an average of the shareholders' equity less vendor loan note relating to the Sweet Ingredients Portfolio divestment and net debt over the last three reported balance sheets.

																			H1 2025								2024				H1 2024												2023										H1 2023
																			€'m								€'m				€'m												€'m										€'m
Equity attributable to equity holders of the parent																			5,907.6								6,485.8				6,512.8												6,521.3										6,356.5

Average capital employed																			8,116.6								8,172.3				8,102.6

10. Return on Average Capital Employed (ROACE)
This measure is defined as profit after taxation attributable to equity holders of the parent before non-trading items (net of related tax), brand related intangible asset amortisation and finance income and costs expressed as a percentage of average capital employed. ROACE is a key measure of the return the Group achieves on its investment in capital expenditure projects, acquisitions and other strategic investments.
