Financial Information (in millions of euros – IFRS)

Year 2017 was marked by a very slight change in food consumption in France and a continued deflation of consumer prices while the purchase prices of strategic raw materials recorded strong increases. This context negatively affected the Group's results. Consolidated net income thus stands at € 4.2 million, down € 0.9 million. Nevertheless, the group pursued its policies and actions to strengthen its market share in France, to conquer new foreign markets, to foster new product development and to sustain an ambitious level of capital expenditures, including the completion of the information systems migration project.

Average payroll (*)

In 2017, average payroll consisted of 1,303 people. During the year, Tipiak recruited 81 people on permanent contracts, of which 13 were new positions. The evolution in headcount was mainly due to more use of seasonal jobs at year end.

* Average payroll in FTE in 2017, including temporary staff.
