Wrapping up its 2022 financial year, Ahold Delhaize recently had some impressive successes to share as it released its Q4 results. Backed by continued investments and a strong portfolio, the retailer is on track for further growth in the year ahead.
“I am pleased to report a solid end to the year for Ahold Delhaize. Our strong international portfolio of local brands has continued to provide distinct competitive and societal advantages, particularly from our scale and solid financial position,” commented Frans Muller, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Ahold Delhaize spotlighted several key growth metrics in its report, including:
“In Q4, we again rallied our organization around our core strengths—operational excellence, tight cost control, and disciplined capital allocation,” Muller continued. “This was critical to provide fuel for reinvesting in our customer value proposition to offset the impact of inflation wherever possible. To that end, we significantly exceeded our original Save for Our Customers goals in 2022, generating €979 million in cost savings, which is over €100 million more than we had originally planned. I am proud of our associates across Ahold Delhaize and our local brands who left no stone unturned. As many of the same challenges persist and may even intensify in 2023, this formula will continue to play an important role as we look for further opportunities to improve our brands’ operations.”
