Nomad Foods Provides 2025 Guidance Ahead of Presentation at the 27th Annual ICR Conference
Execution of the commercial flywheel is driving strong market share and volume growth
2025 is expected to be the 10th consecutive year of revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth as Nomad Foods celebrates its 10th anniversary as a public company
WOKING, England – January 14, 2025 - Nomad Foods Limited (NYSE: NOMD) today provided an update on its in-market performance and detailed its strategy and tactics to sustain momentum. The Company continued to gain market share through the fourth quarter with accelerating volume growth as investments behind its Commercial Flywheel delivered results. Nomad Foods expects to sustain positive momentum in 2025.
For the full year 2025, Nomad Foods expects organic revenue growth of 1%-3%, Adjusted EBITDA growth of 2%-4%, despite plans to meaningfully increase investment in our products and brands again in 2025, and Adjusted EPS of €1.81-€1.85. The Company also expects full year adjusted free cash flow conversion of 90% or greater. Management remains confident in its ability to achieve its previously issued full year 2024 guidance and will provide detailed results when it reports fourth quarter earnings.
Stéfan Descheemaeker, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “I am pleased with the strong momentum we have built across our portfolio as we enter 2025, which will mark our 10th anniversary as a public company. Our strategy is working as evidenced by the positive market share inflection we achieved in the second half of 2024 and the strong volume growth we expect to deliver in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increased investments we have made behind our advertising, innovation, renovation and merchandising are delivering strong returns and we will continue reinvesting to fuel the momentum in 2025.”
He continued, “We enter 2025 with a portfolio that is well positioned for evolving consumer trends with more than two-thirds of our revenue expected to be generated from great tasting and nutritious seafood, poultry and vegetable products. Furthermore, we benefit from a Frozen category that is seeing sustained volume growth with a long runway ahead of it. We expect to leverage these tailwinds to deliver another year of top-tier Food industry growth as we once again increase our advertising, innovation and renovation rates to fuel growth for us and our retail partners. We expect to fund this growth by focusing our investment on our higher margin Must Win Battles and Growth Platforms while executing on our revenue growth management and productivity programs to deliver robust Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted free cash flow. We are excited to celebrate our 10-year anniversary as a public company by delivering our 10th consecutive year of revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth!”
Stéfan Descheemaeker, Chief Executive Officer, and Ruben Baldew, Chief Financial Officer, are scheduled to present at the 27th Annual ICR Conference in Orlando, FL, today, Tuesday, January 14, 2025, at 10:30 AM Eastern time.

Non-IFRS Financial Information
Nomad Foods is presenting Adjusted and Organic forecast financial information, which is considered non-IFRS financial information, for the fiscal years 2024 and 2025.
Adjusted financial information reflects the historical reported financial statements of Nomad Foods, adjusted primarily for, when they occur, share based payment expenses and related employer payroll taxes, non-operating M&A related costs, acquisition purchase price adjustments, exceptional items and foreign currency translation charges/gains.
Adjusted EBITDA is profit or loss for the period before taxation, net financing costs, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude, when they occur, the impacts of exited markets, acquisition purchase price adjustments and exceptional items such as restructuring charges, goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges and other unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, we exclude other adjustments such as the impact of share based payment expenses and related employer payroll taxes, and non-operating M&A related costs, because we do not believe they are indicative of our normal operating costs, can vary significantly in amount and frequency, and are unrelated to our underlying operating performance. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA provides important comparability of underlying operating results, allowing investors and management to assess operating performance on a consistent basis.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to profit/(loss) for the period, determined in accordance with IFRS, as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance.
Adjusted Profit for the period is defined as profit for the period excluding, when they occur, the impacts of exited markets, acquisition purchase price adjustments and exceptional items such as restructuring charges, goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, unissued preferred share dividends, as well as certain other items considered unusual or non-recurring in nature. In addition, we exclude other adjustments such as the impact of share based payment expenses and related employer payroll taxes, and non-operating M&A related costs, because we do not believe they are indicative of our normal operating costs, can vary significantly in amount and frequency, and are unrelated to our underlying operating performance. The Company believes Adjusted Profit after tax provides important comparability of underlying operating results, allowing investors and management to assess operating performance on a consistent basis.
Adjusted EPS is defined as basic earnings per share excluding, when they occur, the impacts of exited markets, acquisition purchase price adjustments and exceptional items such as restructuring charges, goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, as well as certain other items considered unusual or non-recurring in nature. In addition, we exclude other adjustments such as the impact of share based payment expenses and related employer payroll taxes, and non-operating M&A related costs, because we do not believe they are indicative of our normal operating costs, can vary significantly in amount and frequency, and are unrelated to our underlying operating performance. The Company believes Adjusted EPS provides important comparability of underlying operating results, allowing investors and management to assess operating performance on a consistent basis.
Organic revenue growth/(decline) is an adjusted measurement of our operating results. Organic revenue growth/(decline) reflects reported revenue adjusted for currency translation and non-comparable trading items such as expansion, acquisitions, disposals, closures, trading day impacts or any other event that artificially impacts the comparability of our results period over period.
Adjustments for currency translation are calculated by translating data of the current and comparative periods using a budget foreign exchange rate that is set once a year as part of the Company's internal annual forecast process.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow – Adjusted free cash flow is the amount of cash generated from operating activities before cash flows related to exceptional items (as described above), non-operating M&A related costs and working capital movements on employer taxes associated with share based payment awards, but after capital expenditure (on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets), net interest paid, proceeds/(payments) on settlement of derivatives where hedge accounting is not applied and payments of lease liabilities. Adjusted free cash flow reflects cash flows that could be used for payment of dividends, repayment of debt or to fund acquisitions or other strategic objectives.
Cash flow conversion is Adjusted Free Cash Flow as percentage of Adjusted Profit for the period.
Adjusted and Organic non-IFRS financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Company previously filed with the SEC.

Nomad Foods believe its non-IFRS financial measures provide an important additional measure with which to monitor and evaluate the Company’s ongoing financial results, as well as to reflect its acquisitions. Nomad Foods’ calculation of these financial measures may be different from the calculations used by other companies and comparability may therefore be limited. The Adjusted and Organic financial information presented herein is based upon certain assumptions that Nomad Foods believes to be reasonable and is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of any anticipated financial position or future results of operations that the Company will experience. You should not consider the Company’s non-IFRS financial measures an alternative or substitute for the Company’s reported results and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these results and information as they may not be representative of our actual or future results as a Company.
The Company is unable to reconcile, without unreasonable efforts, Organic Growth, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS guidance to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.

Appendix
The following tables have been included to allow users to reconcile Non-IFRS financial measures as well as Adjusted financial information included within this presentation to reported IFRS financial measures. 1. Definitions of Non-IFRS financial measures referred to in this presentation. 2. Reconciliation of Non-IFRS financial measures. Contents 34
Non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered as substitutes for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. They are limited in value because they exclude charges that have a material effect on the Company’s reported results and, therefore, should not be relied upon as the sole financial measures to evaluate the Company’s financial results. The non-IFRS financial measures are meant to supplement, and to be viewed in conjunction with, IFRS financial measures. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-IFRS financial measures to their most directly comparable IFRS financial measures as provided in the tables accompanying this document. Adjusted EBITDA – EBITDA is profit or loss for the period before taxation, net financing costs, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted to exclude, when they occur, the impacts of exited markets, acquisition purchase price adjustments and exceptional items to the extent included in our financial statements such as material restructuring charges, material goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, other material unusual or non-recurring items, as well as additional items that management deems to be exceptional and appropriate for adjustment. In addition, we exclude other adjustments such as the impact of share based payment expenses and related employer payroll taxes, and non-operating M&A related costs, because we do not believe they are indicative of our normal operating costs, can vary significantly in amount and frequency, and are unrelated to our underlying operating performance. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA provides important comparability of underlying operating results, allowing investors and management to assess operating performance on a consistent basis. Adjusted Profit for the period is defined as profit for the period excluding, when they occur, the impacts of exited markets, acquisition purchase price adjustments and exceptional items such as restructuring charges, goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, net financing income/(cost) on amendment of terms of debt, interest cost on tax relating to legacy tax audits, foreign exchange translation gains/(losses), foreign exchange gains/(losses) on derivatives, as well as certain other items considered unusual or non-recurring in nature. In addition, we exclude other adjustments such as the impact of share based payment expenses and related employer payroll taxes, and non-operating M&A related costs, because we do not believe they are indicative of our normal operating costs, can vary significantly in amount and frequency, and are unrelated to our underlying operating performance. The Company believes Adjusted Profit after tax provides important comparability of underlying operating results, allowing investors and management to assess operating performance on a consistent basis. Adjusted EPS - Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted earnings per share excluding, when they occur, the impacts of exited markets, acquisition purchase price adjustments and exceptional items such as restructuring charges, goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, net financing income/(cost) on amendment of terms of debt, interest cost on tax relating to legacy tax audits, foreign exchange translation gains/(losses), foreign exchange gains/(losses) on derivatives, as well as certain other items considered unusual or non-recurring in nature. In addition, we exclude other adjustments such as the impact of share based payment expenses and related employer payroll taxes, and non-operating M&A related costs, because we do not believe they are indicative of our normal operating costs, can vary significantly in amount and frequency, and are unrelated to our underlying operating performance. The Company believes Adjusted EPS provides important comparability of underlying operating results, allowing investors and management to assess operating performance on a consistent basis. Adjusted Financial Information – Adjusted financial information presented in this presentation reflects the historical reported financial statements of Nomad Foods, adjusted for share based payment charges including employer payroll taxes, exceptional items (as described above) and non-cash foreign currency translation charges/gain. Organic Revenue Growth/(Decline) – Organic revenue growth/(decline) is an adjusted measurement of our operating results. This comparison of current and prior period performance takes into consideration only those activities that were in effect during both time periods. Organic revenue reflects reported revenue adjusted for currency translation and non-comparable trading items such as expansion, acquisitions, disposals, closures, trading day impacts or any other event that artificially impact the comparability of our results. Adjusted Free Cash Flow – Adjusted free cash flow is the amount of cash generated from operating activities less cash flows (i) related to exceptional items (as described above), (ii) non-operating M&A related costs and (iii) working capital movements on employer taxes associated with share based payment awards, plus (i) capital expenditure (on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets), (ii) net interest paid, (iii) proceeds/(payments) on settlement of derivatives where hedge accounting is not applied and (iv) payments of lease liabilities. Adjusted free cash flow reflects cash flows that could be used for payment of dividends, repayment of debt or to fund acquisitions or other strategic objectives. 1.
