Reduction of margins, cost control, efficient selection and productivity, key for not passing the full impact of cost prices on to the sales price of products.

• The impact of the increase in cost prices has reduced the company’s margin by 0.6 points, leaving profitability at one of its lowest in the company's history: €0.025 profit per euro of sales, compared to €0.027 in 2021.
• This effort to reduce the company's margin and profitability has led to savings of 375 million euros for the over 5.7 million households that shop at Mercadona, which the company has not passed on to the shopping basket.
• Mercadona has achieved net profit of 718 million euros, 5% more than in 2021, and has maintained its policy of sharing profit with employees, increasing the amount shared by 8% to reach 405 million euros.
• Mercadona's tax contribution to public treasuries was historic in 2022: over 2,263 million euros, 12% more than in 2021.
• With regards to its contribution to creating stable, quality employment, it has created 3,000 jobs with permanent contracts (1,000 of them in Portugal), and has guaranteed the purchasing power of the 99,000 people who make up its staff with salary increases in line with the CPIs of Spain and Portugal.
• In 2022, Juan Roig and Hortensia Herrero  allocated over 80 million euros of their dividends to reactivating the economy of the Valencian Community and Spain, a figure that they will increase in 2023 “because knowledge and money bring happiness...if you share them”.

Thanks to the effort and commitment of the 96,000 employees, a very difficult and complex year has been managed successfully

• The company decided not to pass on to clients the rise in costs derived from the increase in the cost of raw materials at source, transport and industrial prices, which have had an impact of 100 million euros on its operating margin, leading to a 6% decrease in net profit, which amounted to 680 million euros in 2021.
• Despite the difficult scenario that it has faced, Mercadona has continued to advance in its brutal transformation with the objective of becoming a more digital and sustainable company, having invested 1.2 billion euros.
• The company has created 1,000 new jobs with a permanent contract and has guaranteed the purchasing power of staff with a wage increase in line with the CPI in Spain and Portugal, and has once again recognised the effort of staff by allocating an objectives bonus of 375 million euros, 25% of the total profit generated.
• In 2021, Juan Roig and Hortensia Herrero have again allocated 100 million euros of their dividends to reactivating the economy of the Valencian Community and Spain, a figure that they will be matched in 2022 “because knowledge and money bring happiness... if you share them”.

In a year as hard and complex as 2020, Mercadona has achieved the best management in its history, thanks to the 95,000 people who make up the Mercadona Project who have shown with their effort and resilience that in extraordinary times, extraordinary people show up.

• Mercadona created 5,000 new jobs, an average of 16 per day, ending the year with a staff of 95,000 people with permanent contracts.
• The company has invested more than 1.5 billion euros, funded by its own resources, to accelerate the brutal transformation it is undergoing and to promote a more digital, productive and sustainable company model.
• After sharing 409 million euros in bonuses with its staff, representing more than 25% of the total profits generated, and 364 million with Society through taxes (29% more than in 2019), the company recorded a net profit of 727 million euros (+17%).
• In 2020, Juan Roig and Hortensia Herrero allocated 70 million euros of their dividends to reactivating the economy of the Valencian Community and Spain, and plan to increase this contribution in 2021 by 45% to 100 million euros, “because knowledge and money bring happiness... if you share them”.

After deciding, two years ago, to launch a disruptive process and do whatever was necessary to transform the company and continue to be the best option for “The Boss”.

• It has ended 2018 with a staff of more than 85,800 people, 300 of whom are Portuguese, after creating 1,800 stable, quality jobs, and has continued to advance in its responsible and sustainable business model, improving the quality of work and investing in the protection of the environment and animal welfare.
• It has increased its turnover on a like to like basis by 6%, after increasing on average in 2018 by more than 50 tickets/store/day, which amounts to a total of more than 125 tickets/store/day from the launch of its transformation process in 2017.
• The test started in May 2018 with the “Hive” (a warehouse for online shopping) in 97 towns in the province of Valencia has made it possible to double the number of customers and achieve a monthly turnover of 2.2 million euros.
• Mercadona maintains its principle that “shared growth tastes better”, and has distributed the total profits generated during the year as follows: 295 million, of which two correspond to Portugal, to Society as taxes, at a 22% corporate tax rate; and 325 million to its employees as performance-related bonuses. Of the 593 million of the net profits (84% more than the previous year), 470 million were reinvested in the company as own resources, while the rest was distributed among shareholders via dividends.

• Mercadona spends €17,533 million in purchases in Spain each year, 85% of the total.
• Mercadona's activity and its assembly line account for 1.7% of the GDP, with a €19,500 million contribution, and 3% of total employment in Spain, with 545,000 direct, indirect and generated jobs.
• Mercadona, its integrated suppliers and some specialist suppliers create an industrial cluster of 249 factories in Spain.

Mercadona invested a record 1,008 million euros in 2017, and it forecasts that 1,500 million will be invested during 2018 using exclusively equity capital.

• Investing in a new Efficient Store Model and the quality of its fresh products by means of its Global Fresh Products project, as well as offering a selection that is increasingly more adapted to the needs of “The Boss”, an Efficient Selection, have all contributed to see the company’s like for like sales grow by 6%, increasing the number of receipts by more than 75 per store per day.
• The company has created some 5,000 new stable, quality jobs in 2017 - 15 per day, which means its workforce now stands at 84,000 people with permanent contracts.
• In 2017, net profit was 322 million euros, 49% less than in 2016, which is in line with the decision made by the shareholders of concentrating on the long term and investing to transform Mercadona.
• For another year running, the distribution of profits was in line with the principle of “success is sweeter when it is shared”. Mercadona distributed the total profits in the following way: 205 million to Society through taxes, and 313 million among its employees by way of performance-related bonuses. From the 322 million euros net profit, 202 million were reinvested in the company as equity capital, and the rest was distributed among the shareholders by way of dividends.

A year of growth in terms of employment and turnover is consolidated thanks to the development of the “Effective Selection” strategy, investing in innovation, promoting fresh products and collaborating with integrated suppliers and specialist suppliers in order to satisfy and surprise the clients

• Having created 4,000 new stable quality jobs, the company closed 2016 with 79,000 employees in its workforce.  Mercadona’s fiscal contributions, via taxes and Social Security, reached 1,468 million euros in 2016.
• Two of the great milestones for Mercadona in 2016 were the announcement of the company’s internationalisation, by entering the Portuguese market, and the inauguration of the New Efficient Store Model.
• The company’s net profits grew by 4% to 636 million euros, investments reached 685 million euros, and the sales in terms of volume rose by 4%, to 11,071 million kilos and litres (kilitres).
• For another year running, the company shared its total profits between its components: 300 million among its employees by way of performance-related bonuses and 250 million with Society, through taxing. Moreover, from the net profit, 515 million were reinvested in the company as equity capital, while the rest was divided among the shareholders by way of dividends.
• To achieve its goals for 2017, Mercadona foresees the largest investment in the company’s history: between 1,000 and 1,200 million euros. “In addition, Mercadona has decided to sacrifice net profit by up to 200 million euros, which represents a third of the net profit for 2016, with the objective of setting the bases for the Mercadona of the future”. According to Juan Roigs´s statement.
