About ELIOR GROUP

Elior Group is a leading player in contract catering and multiservice solutions, listed on Euronext Paris under ISIN FR0011950732. The group primarily serves corporate and administrative workplaces, education, healthcare, and leisure environments, offering meal preparation and service, restaurant management, and related support services. In addition to its contract catering business, Elior has expanded into multiservices through Derichebourg Multiservices, broadening its scope beyond food services alone. The company currently describes itself as a leader in catering and services, serving around 3.2 million guests per day, generating €6.15 billion in revenue, and employing close to 133,000 people. Elior’s history is marked by several strategic phases and a long track record of acquisitions. The group was re-listed in 2014 after having been previously taken private, and then expanded significantly across Europe, the United States, and India. A major strategic milestone came in 2019, when Elior sold its concession catering activities grouped under the Areas brand, allowing the company to refocus on its core contract catering franchise. In 2022 and 2023, the combination with Derichebourg Multiservices significantly reshaped the company’s profile, creating a broader platform spanning catering and multiservice activities. Geographically, Elior has a meaningful international footprint, with operations in France, the United States, the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Germany, Portugal, India, and China, among other countries. The group operates across six geographic regions and has historically pursued a strategy of strengthening its positions in core markets while improving scale and operational efficiency. Its competitive position is built on contract-catering expertise, diversified end markets, and the ability to combine food service with complementary support services. Recent financial disclosures indicate that the turnaround strategy is gaining traction: for fiscal 2024-2025, Elior reported €6.15 billion in revenue, a return to profit for the first time since 2019, and continued debt reduction. The company therefore stands out as an international services group in transformation, with a more focused business model and improving profitability.
