Sligro H1 FY26 EBIT drops to €2 million

• Sligro Food Group posted largely unchanged revenue in the first half of 2026, while operating result (EBIT) fell to EUR 2 million.
• Gained market share in the Netherlands and Belgium, though profitability was pressured by an underlying market volume decline and cost inflation.
• CEO Koen Slippens cited cautious consumer spending and a steep drop in consumer confidence; product inflation ran about 1.5%.
• Labour and transport costs rose close to 4%, while the Netherlands market stayed flat year on year and Belgium volumes were seen down 3%-5%.
• Strong balance sheet and expected second-half 2026 cash flow left scope for a dividend and continuation of the share buyback programme.
