Reporte integrado de Edenred 2024-2025 | Entrevista con Bertrand Dumazy, Presidente y CEO [ES]

Hello to both of you. Actually, in the form of an interview, it's the first time. They may be virtual collaborators, but they embody passion for the customer, the first of the five values of the group. I am delighted that Edenreders can count on you every day to help us better serve our more than 60 million users, 1 million corporate clients, and more than 2 million business partners in 45 countries. And they are not just virtual. To start, let's talk about last year's results. 2024 was another record year for Edenred. Our total sales for the year reached 2.9 billion euros. Thanks to the successful execution of our strategic plan Beyond, we improved our profitability, increased our earnings per share, and generated strong cash flow. This financial strength has allowed us to invest in external growth while increasing returns for our shareholders.

Speaking of external growth, 2024 was a year of acceleration for Beyond Food and Beyond Fuel, correct? One of the pillars of our strategic plan is to expand beyond our traditional businesses such as fuel cards and meal vouchers. Our results were driven by the growth of the Beyond Food and Beyond Fuel businesses, which today represent 37% of our revenue. Three operations have directly contributed to this. In the mobility space that TED knows well, Spiri now allows us to offer our clients a complete solution for managing electric charging on the road with a network of nearly 9,000 charging stations across Europe, at home and at the workplace. We have already deployed this offer in France and Germany with several key accounts. In Brazil, we are expanding our benefits and engagement business with RB, which offers daily commuting benefits to 15,000 corporate clients. This is a perfect continuation of the work done in 2023 with the integration of the employee engagement platforms Reward Gateway and Go Integro. Finally, in Italy, in a cross-selling logic, the acquisition of the fuel card business of IP has brought 50,000 new B2B clients for our Beyond Fuel solutions. This operation makes Edenred the second issuer of energy cards in the country.

2024 was also an important year for corporate social responsibility. It is an essential dimension of our strategy. Our carbon reduction targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative, which commits us to achieving net zero carbon by 2050. We have made progress on all performance indicators of our ideal policy. These advances have allowed us to confirm our inclusion in the CAC 40 ESG index and be part of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for Europe and the world. The uncertain economic environment means that 2025 will be full of new challenges. We are prepared to meet them.

Our business lines — benefits and engagement, mobility, and complementary solutions — have proven to be strong growth drivers. We can leverage the penetration potential of our markets, the loyalty of our customers, the strong recurrence of our revenue, and the successful integration of our recent acquisitions. We will also strengthen our operational performance by working on the agility of our organization, the scale effect of our platform, and the optimization of our costs. I also know that we can count on the unwavering commitment of our 12,000 employees and the scalability of our distributed and distributing digital platform. Combining the best of people and technology, there is nothing we cannot achieve. Finally, 2025 will be a special year — 15 years of Edenred and 10 years at the head of the group.

These anniversaries will undoubtedly be an opportunity to celebrate with all our Dream Team the progress we have made in the last 10 years. But I also know that as a principle at Edenred, we prefer to look to the future, continue innovating, exploring new markets, and strengthening our digital platform model to guarantee our profitable and sustainable growth. In the short term, we confirm our objectives for 2025, but beyond that, our vision remains clear. We aspire to generate more than 5 billion euros in revenue by 2030, never forgetting what guides us every day on this path: five values, the principles of our Dream Team culture, and of course our purpose. And reach connections for.
