Ahold Delhaize's Strong Local Positions Should Support Profitable Growth Ahead

Ioannis Pontikis

Koninklijke Ahold Delhaize is one of the largest grocers in the United States with over $60 billion in sales. It holds the number-one or number-two position in most of its markets with Albert Heijn in the Netherlands the group's most prized asset, commanding over 35% share. The company has generally managed its expansion and operations prudently, with low levels of financial leverage and a strategy of financing its dividend and share buybacks using its free cash flow.

Company Profile

Ahold Delhaize is the product of the July 2016 merger between Netherlands-based Ahold and Belgium's Delhaize, forming one of the largest grocers in the U.S. and a top player in many parts of Europe. The U.S. is the largest market, accounting for over 60% of group sales, with Ahold Delhaize the leading grocer on the Eastern Seaboard. The U.S. store network stretches from Maine to Georgia and includes such banners as Stop & Shop, Giant Carlisle, Giant Landover, Food Lion, Hannaford, and Peapod. The Netherlands, Belgium, and Central and Southeastern Europe, including the Czech Republic, Greece, Romania, and Serbia, account for slightly less than 40% of sales. Ahold Delhaize holds the number-one and number-two positions in these countries.
