The company told investors it achieved e-commerce profitability on a fully allocated basis during the first half of 2025.
What happened
Ahold Delhaize recorded comparable-store sales growth excluding fuel of 3.4% in the U.S. during the second quarter.
Net sales for the quarter came in at about 13 billion euros ($15 billion), an increase of about 2% at constant exchange rates compared to the year-ago period. Online sales rose year over year by 16.4%.
Why it matters
During the first half of 2025, Ahold Delhaize achieved e-commerce profitability on a fully allocated basis — a key milestone for the company’s omnichannel model.
Ahold Delhaize improved its online profitability primarily by shifting toward less asset-intensive same-day delivery, boosting fulfillment capacity, tapping into retail media and automating operations, Frans Muller, the company’s president and CEO, said in a statement.
“It is particularly encouraging to see that, more and more, customers are finding value in the convenience and flexibility of our brands' omnichannel offerings,” Muller said, noting that the company expanded its e-commerce market share in both Europe and the U.S.
