2020 and 2021 key indicators restated by new operating segments

As announced on March 8, 2022, starting from 2022, Danone will report its key indicators (net sales, like-for-like sales growth, recurring operating income and recurring operating margin) according to its new operating segments, corresponding to 4 zones1:

  • Europe;

  • North America which is comprised of the United States and Canada;

  • China, North Asia and Oceania which is comprised of China, Japan, Australia and New Zealand;

  • Rest of the World including South-East Asia, Latam, CIS, Africa, Turkey and Middle-East.

The company will retain global category reporting, on both net sales, recurring operating income and margin, for EDP, Specialized Nutrition and Waters.

Danone will also adapt the way it reports organic sales growth: from now on, the Mix component will be grouped with Volumes, instead of Price.

Please refer to the restated 2020 and 2021 indicators (non-audited) by new operating segments below.

APPENDIX

Financial indicators not defined in IFRS

Like-for-like changes in sales, recurring operating income and recurring operating margin reflect Danone's organic performance and essentially exclude the impact of:

  • changes in consolidation scope, with indicators related to a given fiscal year calculated on the basis of previous-year scope, both previous-year and current-year scopes excluding entities in countries under hyperinflation according to IAS 29 during the previous year (as for Argentinian entities since January 1st, 2019);

  • changes in applicable accounting principles;

  • changes in exchange rates with both previous-year and current-year indicators calculated using the same exchange rates (the exchange rate used is a projected annual rate determined by Danone for the current year and applied to both previous and current years).

Recurring operating income is defined as Danone’s operating income excluding Other operating income and expenses. Other operating income and expenses comprise items that, because of their significant or unusual nature, cannot be viewed as inherent to Danone’s recurring activity and have limited predictive value, thus distorting the assessment of its recurring operating performance and its evolution. These mainly include:

  • capital gains and losses on disposals of fully consolidated companies;

  • impairment charges on intangible assets with indefinite useful lives;

  • costs related to strategic restructurings or transformation plans;

  • costs related to major external growth transactions;

  • costs related to major crisis and major litigations;

  • in connection with of IFRS 3 (Revised) and IAS 27 (Revised) relating to business combinations, (i) acquisition costs related to business combinations, (ii) revaluation profit or loss accounted for following a loss of control, and (iii) changes in earn-outs relating to business combinations and subsequent to acquisition date.

Recurring operating margin is defined as Recurring operating income over Sales ratio.



1 As part of the new organization, the management of some entities has been changed, leading to the reallocation of €143m of Net Sales to Europe and North America zones in FY 2021 (from the previously known Rest of the World region).
All references in this document to like-for-like sales growth, recurring operating income and recurring operating margin correspond to financial indicators not defined in IFRS. Their definitions, as well as their reconciliation with financial statements, are listed on page 4.
