2026 perspectives
- In a macro-economic context marked by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, Casino Group keeps itself informed of developments in coordination with its main stakeholders.
At the end of March, the Group notes: (i) a rising inflation in Q1 20262 that is expected to continue, but with an impact on transport and energy costs that is currently under control and (ii) a non-significant impact on the operational activity as well as on consumption trends. The Group is taking steps to contain these effects while continuing to implement its transformation plan.

- The Group confirms its objective of break-even free cash flow before financial expenses in 20263,
The Group recalls that the financial statements relating to the year ended 31 December 2025 have not yet been approved or audited.

Monoprix
- Monoprix recorded like-for-like net sales decline of 0.4% over the quarter, with stable footfall. Food sales declined by -1.0% (of which -0.7% decline in fresh products and a -1.5% in non-perishable products), partially offset by the strong performance in non-food sales (+0.8%). The Fashion & Home segment (+3.1%) once again supported the trend and continued to outperform the market.
The "La Cantine" food concept continued its roll-out, with 4 additional stores opened in Q1, bringing the total number of stores converted to the new concept to 17 at the end of March, with a continued accretive effect on net sales.
Over the quarter, the streamlining of the store network resulted in the closure of 5 stores and the transfer of one owned store to franchise at Monoprix. The brand also opened 5 franchised stores.
- Adjusted EBITDA stood at €77.5m in Q1 2026, up +€10.5m, driven by the reduction in shrinkage and cost savings.
Franprix
- Franprix recorded LFL net sales growth of +0.8% this quarter, reflecting a solid contribution from owned stores (+2.1%) driven by the streamlining of the store network, +0.6% growth from franchised stores and a stabilization in the performance of master franchisees (-0.1%)5- Footfall increased by +3.2% over the quarter-
This performance was mainly supported by the solid contribution from the fresh products category (+2.5%) driven by the commercial actions deployed and the offer optimization, and the dynamism of stores converted to the "Oxygène" concept, whose outperformance is confirmed compared to the rest of the network (+6.4% LFL vs. +0.8% for the entire network). The concept was extended to 31 additional stores this quarter, bringing the total number of stores converted to the concept to 138 at the end of March (14% of the store network).
Changes within the Franprix store network continued during the quarter with 5 store closures, 11 openings and the transfer of one owned store to franchise.
- Adjusted EBITDA came to €26.8m in Q1 2026, up +€5.1m, driven by cost savings and lower impairment of receivables benefiting from the streamlining of the store network strategy.
Casino/Spar/Vival
- Net sales at the Casino, Spar and Vival brands rose by +2.3% LFL in Q1 2026. This performance was supported by (i) the strong momentum of seasonal stores during the winter season in the mountains (+3%), (ii) a solid performance of fresh product categories (+7.7%) and (iii) supply chain efficiency, with a service rate6 of 95.4% for the quarter (+0.8 pts vs. Q1 2025).
The Casino, Spar and Vival brands reported a +1.1% increase in customer traffic7 on a LFL basis while the "Coup de pouce" loyalty program continued to grow, with over 41,000 loyalty cards created in Q1 and a 14.5% share of sales in eligible stores (vs. 11.7% in Q1 2025).
The rollout of new concepts continued this quarter with the opening of 5 new Spar "Origines" stores and the inauguration of two new stores under the new "Casino" identity in Feurs and Saint-Etienne on 31 March.
Over the quarter, the store network reported 121 exits, 38 openings and 9 transfers of owned stores to franchises.
- Adjusted EBITDA was €0.2m in Q1 2026, up +€0.9m, mainly supported by the streamlining of the store network and cost savings.
Naturalia
- Naturalia's performance remained strong this quarter with LFL net sales growth of +5.3%, still driven by food sales (+6.0%) and a positive momentum in fresh products (+6.5%). The brand continued to gain customers, with footfall growing once again (+4.0%).
The success of the "La Ferme" concept was confirmed this quarter, with double-digit LFL net sales growth in stores converted in 2025 and the roll-out of 7 additional stores (43 stores deployed at the end of March).
E-commerce sales also supported the trend (+20.9%), while Naturalia continued its roll-out in quick commerce with the expansion of its partnership with Uber Eats to 21 new stores in Q1 (93 stores at the end of March).
The quick meal solutions offering continued its rollout with 5 new stores switching to the organic snacking concept this quarter (40 at the end of March).
The Naturalia store network remained stable over the period.
- Adjusted EBITDA stood at €6.5m in Q1 2026, up +€0.9m, driven by the volume effect, cost cutting and shrinkage.
Cdiscount
- Cdiscount confirms the continuation of its positive momentum driven by the recovery plan, with total GMV8 up +5.7% in Q1 2026, in line with Q4 2025. Growth was supported by the dynamism of Marketplace GMV (+13.1%), which now represents 70.3% of Product GMV8 (+3.2 pts year-on-year). Direct sales GMV declined by -2.6% over the quarter, due to (i) an unfavourable trend in small household appliances, (ii) the normalization of video game sales following an exceptional Q4 2025, and (iii) the decline in technical goods sales amid inflationary pressures on electronic components.
The operational fundamentals continued to strengthen: the active customer base grew by +8.4% year-on-year, with new customer acquisition accelerating sharply by +27%, demonstrating the efficiency of the recovery plan.
Net sales declined by -1.3% LFL, in connection with the decline in direct sales (-2.6%). These effects were partly offset by the growth in Marketplace revenues (+10.4%) and Cdiscount Advertising (+12.3%).
- Adjusted EBITDA came to €9.2m in Q1 2026, down -€2.0m, in a context where Q1 2025 had benefited from larger reversals of provisions for customer credit risks, while Q1 2026 was impacted by charges relating to operational risks arising at the start of the year. The operational trajectory, however, shows an improvement driven by the increase in website GMV, the expansion of the contribution margin, and the first effects of marketing cost rationalizations.
Other and Quatrim
- Quatrim's adjusted EBITDA came to -€0.1m in Q1 2026, down -€1.5m year on year due to lower rents following disposals of real estate assets.
- Adjusted EBITDA for the other subsidiaries and the holding company was -€9.9m in Q1 2026, down -€3.6m, mainly due to lower rents following disposals of real estate assets excluding Quatrim.

HIGHLIGHTS
Adapting and strengthening the financial structure
On 24 November 2025, the Group presented its "Renouveau 2030" strategic plan and its project to strengthen the financial structure. Assisted by administrators overseeing the implementation of the plan and administrators overseeing the implementation of the conciliation agreements, the Group has set the target to reach an agreement in principle with its creditors and FRH at the latest by the end of June 2026.
The parameters for Casino Group's majority shareholder, France Retail Holdings ("FRH"), to support these objectives were also set out.
A press release and a presentation are available on the Company's website.
The Group notes that it has obtained an extension of its creditors' consent not to use the current discussions regarding the adaptation and strengthening project of the Group's financial structure as any means of action in respect of (i) the financing documentation forming an integral part of the accelerated safeguard plans (Term Loan B, RCF and Quatrim debts) or (ii) the approved operational financing documentation under the conciliation protocols. The Quatrim debt consent has now been extended until 28 May 2026, the date corresponding to the extension of the consents currently granted by the TLB, RCF and operational financings creditors.
The key terms of the new proposals to adapt and strengthen Casino Group's financial structure, as formulated, were made public on 10 February, 5 March, 16 March and 31 March 2026 and are detailed in the presentations available on the Group's website.
Should such a transaction to adapt and strengthen the financial structure be completed, it would result in significant dilution for existing shareholders.
As of the date of this press release, no agreement has been reached between Casino, FRH and the creditors regarding the adaptation and strengthening of Casino Group's financial structure. Discussions will therefore continue with a view to reaching an agreement in principle by the end of June 2026 at the latest.
The Group reiterates that the approval of the 2025 financial statements, on the basis of the going concern assumption, remains subject to a favourable outcome of ongoing negotiations among the stakeholders involved in the Group's financial restructuring. In this context, if the approved 2025 financial statements show differences from the estimated 2025 data published on 30 March 2026, these differences may have an impact on the Q1 2026 financial data presented in this press release.
In accordance with the postponement of the filing of the Annual Financial Report, the Group has requested from its creditors the authorisation to disclose its consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2025 at a later stage.
Real estate disposals
The Group disposed of €8m in real estate assets in Q1 2026, including €2m through Quatrim and its subsidiaries.
On 27 March, the Group repaid €20.8m of the secured debt carried by Quatrim, enabling reduction of the nominal value of this debt to €120m at 31 March 2026
Proceedings before the Paris Court
Casino, Guichard-Perrachon was referred to the Paris Criminal Court following the preliminary investigation by the Financial Public Prosecutor (Parquet National Financier - PNF) for alleged stock price manipulation and private corruption dating back to 2018 and 2019.
The hearing took place from 1 to 22 October 2025. The Paris Criminal Court handed down its ruling on 29 January 2026, acquitting the Company of the charge of stock price manipulation through the use of fictitious devices, and ordering it to pay a fine of €40m, of which €20m was suspended, as well as civil damages, for active private corruption and the organised dissemination of false or misleading information, in relation to events that took place in 2018 and 2019.
Casino, Guichard-Perrachon has not appealed against this criminal sentence. As the ruling of 29 January 2026 has become final with regard to the legal actions against Casino, Guichard-Perrachon, the fixed fine of €20m was paid at the end of February 2026, with no impact on free cash flow before financial expenses.12
However, Casino, Guichard-Perrachon has appealed against the Court's calculation of civil damages for the investor civil parties, and certain civil parties have also appealed against the ruling against the Company.
Proceedings initiated by GPA
ICC arbitration proceedings
The accelerated safeguard plan of Casino, Guichard-Perrachon approved by the Paris Economic Affairs Court on 26 February 2024, terminated the uncapped guarantee previously granted by Casino to GPA. This guarantee consisted in an undertaking by Casino to indemnify GPA for any losses resulting from the implementation of the amortisation structure for the goodwill arising from the acquisition by Casino of GPA shares.
On 6 May 2025, GPA submitted a request for arbitration to the ICC International Court of Arbitration in order to preserve its rights under this guarantee. As stated in its 2024 Universal Registration Document, on 7 May 2025, Casino recalled that, pursuant to its accelerated safeguard plan, the guarantee granted to GPA is no longer in force.
Arbitration proceedings are currently underway.
As part of these arbitration proceedings, GPA submitted a request to the Arbitral Tribunal, on 24 February 2026, for interim measures primarily seeking to prevent the transfer of GPA shares held by Casino Group or to freeze the proceeds of any potential sale of such shares during the arbitration proceedings, on the alleged grounds of preserving its rights in connection with the arbitration proceedings. In a decision dated 10 April 2026, the Arbitral Tribunal rejected this request for interim measures.
Civil Court proceedings
On 17 April 2026, GPA applied for and obtained from a Brazilian civil court a preliminary injunction prohibiting the sale of the GPA shares indirectly owned by Casino.
On 22 April 2026, following Casino's application for reconsideration of this decision, the Court authorised the ongoing sale of its shares in GPA by Obin Holdings Netherlands BV (a Casino subsidiary), with the sale proceeds placed in escrow.
Casino's indirect stake in GPA now stands at 20.44% of the share capital.
Casino has appealed the decision of 17 April 2026.
Arbitration proceedings initiated by Assaí in Brazil
On 10 December 2025, Casino received notification of a request for arbitration proceedings initiated by Assaí in Brazil before the CAM-CCBC (Center for Arbitration and Mediation of the Brazil-Canada Chamber of Commerce) against Casino, Guichard-Perrachon, its subsidiary Segisor and GPA, in connection with the separation and transfer agreements signed on 14 and 16 December 2020 between Assaí and GPA.
In particular, Assaí is seeking the extension of the arbitration to Casino and the recognition of the joint and several liability of GPA and Casino to compensate Assaí in respect of GPA's tax liabilities relating to the pre-separation period. As part of the proceedings, Assaí is requesting that GPA and Casino put in place guarantees to cover the amount of GPA's tax liabilities relating to the pre-separation period or that Casino place the proceeds from sale of GPA shares in escrow in Brazil until GPA's obligations to Assaí have been fully discharged (payment or provision of guarantees).
Casino contests its participation in the arbitration initiated by Assaí, as Casino is not a party to the agreements and has made no commitment to GPA or Assaí in respect of GPA's tax liabilities relating to the pre-separation period.
The arbitral proceedings are currently at the stage of constitution of the Arbitral Tribunal.

|
APPENDICES - GLOSSARY
Like-for-like (LFL) growth
Like-for-like net sales include e-commerce sales and sales of merchandise excluding fuel from stores open for at least 12 months. The figure is calculated at constant exchange rates, excluding calendar effects and tax.
Shrinkage
Shrinkage corresponds to the difference between the recorded inventory and the actual physical inventory on hand in the store. It includes known shrinkage (broken items, items past their sell-by dates) and unknown shrinkage (theft).
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is defined as trading profit plus recurring depreciation and amortisation expense included in trading profit. Adjusted EBITDA margin corresponds to adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of net sales excluding taxes.
Adjusted EBITDA after lease payments
Adjusted EBITDA after lease payments is defined as trading profit plus recurring depreciation and amortisation presented in trading profit less repayments of lease liabilities and net interest paid on lease liabilities.
Free cash flow before/after financial expenses
Free cash flow before financial expenses corresponds to cash flow from operating activities as presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows, less net capex, lease payments subject to restatement in accordance with IFRS 16 and adjusted for the effects related to the strategic transformation, the disposal plan and non-recurring litigation proceedings relating to events prior to March 2024, as well as the financial restructuring.
Free cash flow after financial expenses is calculated by deducting net interest paid from free cash flow before financial expenses, excluding interest on leases restated in accordance with IFRS 16.
Liquidity
According to banking documentation, liquidity corresponds to consolidated cash and cash equivalents (less cash in transit and non-centralised cash), as well as undrawn and immediately available operating financing (excluding factoring, reverse factoring and similar programmes).
Covenant - Net leverage ratio
The covenant is defined as the ratio between "covenant net debt" and "covenant adjusted EBITDA". The scope of the covenant test corresponds to the Group adjusted for Quatrim and, to a lesser extent, the subsidiaries Mayland in Poland and Wilkes in Brazil.
Covenant adjusted EBITDA
"Covenant adjusted EBITDA" or pro forma EBITDA (depending on the documentation) corresponds to adjusted EBITDA after lease payments relating to the covenant scope, excluding any impact of scope effects and pro forma restatements corresponding to future savings/synergies to be achieved within 18 months.
Covenant net debt
"Covenant net debt" corresponds to gross debt relating to the covenant scope (including borrowings from other Group companies by covenant companies), (i) plus financial liabilities which are, in essence, debt, (ii) adjusted for the average drawdown on the Group's revolving credit lines over the last 12 months (from the date of restructuring) and (iii) reduced by cash and cash equivalents of the entities in the covenant scope and by non-deconsolidating receivables relating to operating financing programmes reinstated as part of the restructuring.
It differs from consolidated "net debt", which corresponds to all gross borrowings and debt at the reporting date, including derivatives designated as fair value hedges (liabilities) and trade payables - structured programme, less (i) cash and cash equivalents, (ii) financial assets held for cash management purposes and as short-term investments, (iii) derivatives designated as fair value hedges (assets), and (iv) financial assets arising from a significant disposal of non-current assets.
