Sodexo CEO Denis Machuel said: “Revenues in the third quarter were in line with our revised expectations. On-site services’ organic growth remained soft, as anticipated, and benefits & rewards services improved slightly.
“Across our services, we have seen particularly strong growth across Asia and Latin America. The key actions we identified to improve short-term performance and to drive growth in the longer term are being rolled out across the group.
“While it is still early in this process, we remain confident in the benefits that they will deliver and the growth opportunities that are available to us. We are maintaining our revised guidance for the current fiscal year.”
