Press release – Paris, June 22, 2026, 6:00 AM CEST

Danone to acquire MADE Group, expanding its presence in the fast-growing healthy nutrition space in Asia Pacific

Danone announces today that it has entered into two definitive agreements that will enable it to expand its presence in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region in the fast-growing healthy nutrition space:

• Acquisition of MADE Group; a fast-growing Australia-based company with a health-focused portfolio.
• Acquisition of the remaining 49% stake in its existing fresh dairy joint venture with Saputo Dairy Australia.

Both transactions will create additional opportunities for Danone to enhance its profitable growth prospects across the APAC region.

Acquisition of MADE Group

MADE has a portfolio of well-established brands aligned with high-growth consumer trends, particularly in health-focused food products, including high-protein ready-to-drink products, gut-health yoghurts and coconut-based products.

The Melbourne-based company combines a proven track record in innovation with best-in-class marketing capabilities, and a comprehensive route to market and supply chain.

MADE has a significant presence in its home country of Australia as well as across New Zealand and Southeast Asia. It has consistently delivered double-digit growth and attractive margins and, with sales of more than €300 million for the fiscal year ending June 2026, would represent a meaningful contributor to Danone’s EDP business in APAC. The deal would be accretive to Danone’s Operating margin and EPS from year 1.

Acquisition of remaining stake in existing fresh dairy joint venture in Australia

Complementing this acquisition, Danone also announces it will acquire the remaining 49% stake in its fresh dairy joint venture with Saputo Dairy Australia. Through this partnership, Danone has established a solid presence in functional yoghurts in Australia, anchored in three flagship brands, YoPRO, Activia and Ultimate.

The transactions are subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and are expected to be completed in the second half of 2026.
