Financial Review - Selected Income Statement Group Adjusted EBITDA amounted to €289.1m, i.e. 29.5% of sales.

As a percentage of network sales, the network contribution decreased by 1.0 percentage point from 46.6% in Q1 2023 to 45.6% in Q1 2024. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in GM rate of -0.4pps and to higher energy costs for -0.4pp (energy prices will benefit from a new contract with more favorable conditions starting 1st January 2024). We have started to implement selling price increases in 1Q 2024, by waves, which will progressively materialize. However, the impact in 1Q 2024 is limited (only the new arrivals are labelled with the new prices). Indirect costs totaled €34.5m in Q1 2024, an increase of €1.7m, or 5.1%, from €32.9m in Q1 2023 mainly due to higher IT costs to support the development of services to our customers. Adjusted EBITDA amounted to €289.1m, i.e. 29.5% of network sales, or €201.2m pre- IFRS 16, i.e. 20.5% of network sales, compared to €289.8m in FY 23, i.e. 30%, or €203.3m pre-IFRS16, i.e. 21%. LTM adjusted EBITDA is therefore fairly stable in absolute value and in percentage of network sales, in an inflationary context impacting the spending power of our customers, demonstrating the resilience of the Group.
