Royal Ahold Delhaize NV said Wednesday that net sales rose in
the first quarter, supported by resilient consumer demand for
eating at home.
The Dutch grocer said net sales rose 3.6% on a constant
exchange-rate basis. Comparable sales excluding gas grew 3.3% in
the U.S., while they fell 3.1% in Europe, it said.
Net consumer online sales declined 1.0% at constant exchange
rates, the company said
The company said operating income was 818 million euros ($861.5
million), representing earnings per share of EUR0.54, it said.
"Overall, the first-quarter results were better than our
expectations, despite macroeconomic pressures arising from the war
in Ukraine. The second quarter is seeing many of the trends from
the first quarter continuing. Therefore, taking all moving parts
together, we expect underlying earnings per share to be comparable
to 2021 with the rest of our full-year guidance metrics unchanged,"
President and Chief Executive Frans Muller said.
