Carrefour keeps 2025 goals, French sales improve in Q1
PARIS, April 24 (Reuters) - Carrefour CARR.PA, Europe's largest food retailer, kept its 2025 targets for slightly higher profits and cash intact after sales rose 2.9% like-for-like in the first quarter, thanks to a solid performance in Brazil, its second-largest market after France.
In the core French market, sales remained negative but showed a sequential improvement from the fourth quarter of 2024, reflecting the positive impact of price cuts Carrefour has been implementing to lure cash-strapped shoppers.
Sales reached 22.674 billion euros ($25.78 billion) in the first quarter, marking like-for-like growth of 2.9%.
For 2025, Carrefour reiterated it expected slightly higher earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA), recurring operating income (ROI) and net free cash flow.
