Colruyt 1H24/25: Competition weighs on sales, but reiterates guidance

Colruyt's HY24/25 comparable sales decreased by 2.0% to € 5.43bn, or well below kbcse of € 5.72m. The decline was mainly driven by the Colruyt banner due to unfavourable weather conditions, lower food inflation and declining market share. The sales pressure was however partially offset by further gross margin improvements. As such, the EBIT decline of 4.8% to € 245m came in above kbcse (€ 236m), and was also in line with the earlier guidance, with Colruyt already hinting for a limited EBIT decline in 1H24/25. Colruyt therefore reiterated its FY24/25 outlook. Hold, € 40.0 TP.
