(Reuters) – French catering and food services group Sodexo on Friday beat forecasts for first-quarter sales, as a continued return to the workplace and other physical venues helped its On-site business rebound above pre-pandemic levels.
Group sales came in at 6.33 billion euros ($6.65 billion), above an analyst forecast of 6.17 billion euros in the consensus provided by the company, while its On-site business grew 11.9% organically, helped by price hikes and surpassing 2019 levels, Sodexo said.
