HALF-YEAR RESULTS** **Second quarter and half-year sales** **In Q2 2026**, sales stood at €7,215m, up +4.2% LFL, with a contribution of +1.9% from volume/mix and +2.3% from price. On a reported basis, sales increased by +4.4%, including a positive scope effect of +0.8%, mainly reflecting the consolidation of Kate Farms in the Americas and of the joint venture with Saputo Dairy Australia in APAC, and a negative impact of currencies (-1.0%). Additionally, both hyperinflation (+0.2%) and the application of IAS29 (+0.1%) contributed positively to reported sales. **In H1 2026**, sales stood at €13,936m, up +3.5% LFL, with a contribution of +1.7% from volume/mix and +1.8% from price. On a reported basis, sales increased by +1.4%, including a positive scope effect of +0.7%, mainly reflecting the consolidation of Kate Farms and of the joint venture with Saputo Dairy Australia, and a negative impact of currencies (-3.3%).

This performance was achieved thanks to strong productivity gains, including in overheads (+84 bps), in a context of pressure on margin from operations (-54bps) notably linked to the IMF recall in EMEA and initial effects of inflation. Continued reinvestments behind key drivers of competitiveness - A&P, product superiority, capabilities - resulted in a -25 bps impact in H1. Finally, other effects had a combined impact of +7 bps. **Net income and Earnings per share** _€ million unless stated otherwise_ **H1 2025** **H1 2026** Recurring Non-recurring **Total** Recurring Non-recurring **Total** **Operating income** **1,811** **(238)** **1,573** **1,854** **(161)** **1,693** Cost of net financial debt (90) (90) (104) (104) Other financial income and expense (48) (47) (95) (40) (40) (80) **Income before tax** **1,674** **(285)** **1,388** **1,710** **(201)** **1,509** Income tax (458) 84 (373) (453) 19 (434) Effective tax rate 27.3% 26.9% 26.5% 28.7% **Net income from fully consolidated companies** **1,216** **(201)** **1,015** **1,257** **(182)** **1,075** Share of profit (loss) of equity-accounted companies 71 (11) 59 49 110 159 **Net income** **1,286** **(213)** **1,074** **1,306** **(72)** **1,235** **• Group share** **1,231** **(191)** **1,040** **1,246** **(71)** **1,175** • Non-controlling interests 55 (22) 34 60 (0) 60 **Diluted EPS (€)** **1.91** **1.61** **1.92** **1.81** **Recurring EPS** increased by +0.9% to €1.92 in H1 2026, driven by higher recurring operating income. **Non-recurring operating income and expense** amounted to -€161 million, compared to -€238 million in H1 2025. It mainly includes costs of transformation projects, as well as costs related to the IMF recall. As a result, **Reported EPS** stood at €1.81 in H1 2026, vs. €1.61 in H1 2025. **Cash flow and Debt** **Free cash flow** generation amounted to €852 million in H1 2026. This reflects strong operational performance and focused discipline on financial costs, while additional investments behind winning platforms led to an increase in capital expenditure to €414 million. Change in Working Capital Requirement was impacted by actions to secure supply, in the context of the Middle East situation. As of June 30, 2026, Danone’s **net debt** stood at €9.0 billion, slightly up from €8.4 billion at the end of December 2025, reflecting the annual dividend payment in May 2026, partly offset by the solid free cash flow generation in the first half. **II. 2026 GUIDANCE** 2026 guidance confirmed, in line with mid-term ambition: LFL sales growth expected between +3% and +5%, with recurring operating income growing faster than sales. **III. GOVERNANCE** **Appointment of a New Independent Director** At its meeting on July 28, 2026, and upon the recommendation of the Nomination, Compensation and Governance Committee, the Board of Directors decided to submit the appointment of Ms. Emmanuelle Menning as an independent Director for a three-year term to the Shareholders’ Meeting to be held on April 29, 2027. A French and German national, Ms. Emmanuelle Menning has served as Deputy Chief Executive Officer in charge of Finance at Veolia and as a member of the Group’s Executive Committee since September 2024. Since April 2026, her responsibilities have been expanded to include the management of Germany. Her appointment would enable the Board of Directors to benefit from her recognized financial, strategic and operational expertise, gained through her experience within a leading international listed group. Her track record in mergers and acquisitions, business transformation and sustainability-related matters would further strengthen the skills base and diversity of experience of Danone’s Board of Directors. **IV. RECENT MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS** - **June 22, 2026:** Danone announced that it has entered into two definitive agreements that will enable it to expand its presence in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region in the fast-growing healthy nutrition space: - Acquisition of MADE Group; a fast-growing Australia-based company with a health-focused portfolio. - Acquisition of the remaining 49% stake in its existing fresh dairy joint venture with Saputo Dairy Australia. Both transactions are subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and are expected to be completed in the second half of 2026. - **April 23, 2026:** Danone announced that its Shareholders’ Meeting was held on April 23, 2026, chaired by Gilles Schnepp, Chairman of the Board of Directors. 73.08% of Danone’s total outstanding share capital was present or represented in this Shareholders’ Meeting. Danone’s shareholders approved all the resolutions put to the vote, including the statutory and consolidated financial statements for the 2025 fiscal year and the distribution of a dividend of €2.25 per share in cash, up +4.7% compared to last year. The ex-dividend date (or ex-date) was set on May 4, 2026, and the dividend was payable on May 6, 2026. **V. IFRS STANDARDS AND ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES NOT DEFINED BY IFRS** **IAS 29: impact on reported data** Danone has applied IAS 29 in hyperinflationary countries, as defined in IFRS. Adoption of IAS 29 in hyperinflationary countries requires their non-monetary assets and liabilities and their income statement to be restated to reflect the changes in the general purchasing power of their functional currency, leading to a gain or loss on the net monetary position, included in the net income. Moreover, their financial statements are converted into euros using the closing exchange rate of the relevant period. **IAS 29: impact on reported data** € million except % **Q2 2026** **H1 2026** Sales 3.8 30.5 Sales growth (%) 0.05% 0.22% Recurring Operating Income \-14 Recurring Net Income – Group share \-20 Breakdown by quarter of H1 2026 sales after application of IAS 29 H1 2026 sales correspond to the addition of: - Q2 2026 reported sales; - Q1 2026 sales resulting from the application of IAS 29 until June 30, 2026, to sales of entities in hyperinflationary countries (application of the inflation rate until June 30, 2026, and translation into euros using the June 30, 2026, closing rate) and provided in the table below for information (unaudited data) € million **Q1 2026****1** **Q2 2026** **H1 2026** EMEA 2,968 3,165 6,133 Americas 2,293 2,394 4,688 APAC 1,459 1,656 3,116 **Total** **6,721** **7,215** **13,936** _1__Results from the application of IAS 29 until June 30, 202__6__, to Q1 sales of entities of hyperinflation countries._ **Definitions of geographical zones** **_EMEA_** refers to European countries, Turkey, Middle East, Africa and CIS. **_The_** **Americas** refers to North America (the United States and Canada) and Latin America (including Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay)**_._** **_APAC or Asia Pacific_** refers to China, Japan, Australia and New Zealand (former CNAO - China, North Asia & Oceania - region) as well as the rest of Asia (including Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and India). **Financial indicators not defined in IFRS** Due to rounding, the sum of values presented may differ from totals as reported. Such differences are not material. **_Like-for-like changes_** in sales 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 the previous year's scope; - changes in applicable accounting principles; - changes in exchange rates, with both previous-year and current-year indicators calculated using the same exchange rate (the exchange rate used is a projected annual rate determined by Danone for the current year and applied to both previous and current years). Since January 1, 2023, all countries with hyperinflationary economies are taken into account in like-for-like changes as follows: sales growth in excess of around 26% per year (a three-year average at 26% would generally trigger the application of hyperinflationary accounting as defined in IFRS) is now excluded from the like-for-like sales growth calculation. **Bridge from like-for-like data to reported data** _(€ million except %)_ **2025 sales** **Like-for-like change** **Impact of changes** **in scope of consolidation** **Impact of changes in exchange rates & others incl.

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 businesses and fully consolidated companies; - under IAS 36, impairment charges on intangible assets with indefinite useful lives; - costs related to strategic restructuring operations or transformation plans; - costs related to major external growth transactions; - costs related to crises and major disputes; - in connection with IFRS 3 and IFRS 10, (i) acquisition costs related to acquisitions of companies resulting in control, (ii) revaluation gains or losses accounted for following a loss of control, and (iii) changes in earn-outs subsequent to acquisitions resulting in control. **_Recurring operating margin_** is defined as the Recurring operating income over Sales ratio. **_Other non-recurring financial income and expense_** corresponds to financial income and expense items that, in view of their significant or unusual nature, cannot be considered as inherent to Danone’s recurring financial management. These notably include changes in the value of non-consolidated interests and profits or losses on the net monetary position. **_Non-recurring income tax_** corresponds to income tax on non-recurring items as well as tax income and expense items that, in view of their significant or unusual nature, cannot be considered as inherent to Danone’s recurring performance. **_Recurring effective tax rate_** measures the effective tax rate of Danone’s recurring performance and is computed as the ratio of income tax related to recurring items over recurring net income before tax. **_Non-recurring share of profit (loss) of equity-accounted companies_** includes items that, because of their significant or unusual nature, cannot be viewed as inherent to the companies' recurring activity and thereby distort the assessment of their recurring performance and trends in that performance. These items mainly relate to: - capital gains and losses on disposals of Investments in equity-accounted companies; - impairment of investments in equity-accounted companies; - non-recurring items, as defined by Danone, included in the share of profit (loss) of equity-accounted companies. **_Recurring net income_** (or Recurring net income – Group Share) corresponds to the Group share of the consolidated Recurring net income. The Recurring net income excludes 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 performance and its evolution. Such non-recurring income and expenses correspond to Other operating income and expenses, Other non-recurring financial income and expenses, Non-recurring income tax, and Non-recurring share of profit (loss) of equity-accounted companies. These items, excluded from Net income, represent Non-recurring net income. **_Recurring EPS_** (or Recurring net income – Group Share, per share after dilution) is defined as the ratio of Recurring net income adjusted for hybrid financing over Diluted number of shares. In compliance with IFRS, income used to calculate EPS is adjusted for the coupon related to the hybrid financing accrued for the period and presented net of tax. **H1 2025** **H1 2026** **Recurring** **Total** **Recurring** **Total** **Net income-Group share** _(€ million)_ 1,231 1,040 1,246 1,175 Coupon related to hybrid financing net of tax _(€ million)_ (2) (2) (9) (9) **Number of shares** • Before dilution 642,916,473 642,916,473 640,757,020 640,757,020 • After dilution 644,414,852 644,414,852 643,109,091 643,109,091 **EPS** _(€)_ • Before dilution 1.91 1.62 1.93 1.82 • After dilution 1.91 1.61 1.92 1.81 **_Free cash flow_** represents cash flows provided or used by operating activities less capital expenditure net of disposals and, in connection with IFRS 3, excluding (i) acquisition costs related to acquisitions of companies resulting in control, and (ii) earn-outs related to acquisitions of companies resulting in control and paid subsequently to acquisition date. _(€ million)_ **H1 2025** **H1 2026** **Cash flows provided by operating activities** **1,519** **1,258** Capital expenditure (373) (414) Disposal of property, plant and equipment and acquisition costs related to acquisitions of companies resulting in control1 26 8 **Free cash flow** **1,172** **852** _1_ _Represents acquisition costs related to_ _acquisitions of companies resulting in control that were paid during the period_ **_Net financial debt_** represents the net debt portion bearing interest.
