Regional Market Share and Country Wins
Gained share across most markets: U.S. market share +24 basis points with U.S. organic sales growth 1.7% and volume growth 1.8%; Europe/ANZ OSG 3.3% and 37 basis points of market share gains; EMEA (Asia, Middle East & Africa) delivered double-digit growth (10.9%) with ~4.5% volume growth and share gains in markets such as China, Turkey, Pakistan and Indonesia.
Brand and Innovation Momentum
Strong performance from flagship brands and new launches (Magnum Utopia/BonBons; Ben & Jerry’s share gains; Cornetto expansion; Heartbrand multi-layer stick scaling). Better-for-you formats expanded (Yasso +30% growth; Breyers CarbSmart growth) and faster idea-to-shelf execution (example: Magnum Dubai chocolate to Turkey in 6 months).
Productivity Program Progress
Structural productivity savings continued: management reported further savings of EUR 180 million in 2025 on top of EUR 70 million in H2 2024, bringing cumulative savings to EUR 250 million toward a EUR 500 million program (CFO also referenced EUR 72 million savings as planned in specific commentary).
Gross Margin Resilience (Operationally)
Despite a 380 basis point commodity inflation headwind, supply chain productivity (170 bps) plus selective pricing (230 bps) more than offset the raw material pressure; excluding FX translation, gross margin improved ~20 basis points operationally (reported gross margin down ~30 bps due to FX).

Cabinet fleet expanded (around 3 million cabinets); cabinet CapEx up ~10% to support availability and out-of-home growth; overall CapEx stepped up to ~4.5% of sales (from ~3.5–4%), and sales force investments completed (dedicated ice cream sales force ~1,000 people).
