Capex limited to € 36,1m. Lower capex did not affect the necessary replacements. Also some growth projects have been fully supported.

Outlook

11

“We live in turbulent times. Our society, our customer landscape and our Company have changed. This change was needed and will gearus up for the future. The way we have responded to the challenge of securing the food supply chain during the COVID-19 quarantineperiod, clearly demonstrates Greenyard’s strength and relevance.”

Quote of Hein Deprez, co-CEO

“This fiscal year started after the announcement of the Transformation Plan. Thanks to a lot of hard work with contributions from everyemployee in Greenyard, we proved to be able to realise the profitability potential and untapped efficiencies. This sets the basis for ahealthy financial growth. The Transformation will turn into Continuous Improvement with a lot of new actions identified for FY 20/21.”

Quote of Marc Zwaaneveld, co-CEO

Based on the current progress and plans Greenyard expects an adjusted EBITDA (excluding IFRS 16 impact)for the full year ending 31 March 2021 to range between € 100,0m and € 105,0m.

• Although Greenyard proves to be very resilient to the COVID-19 pandemic, this outlook is subject to potential uncertaintysurrounding COVID-19 and its potential implications on the world economy.

• Assessing the current situation and risk mitigation, Greenyard is not expecting the weather conditions of the past monthsto have a material impact on the guidance or results.
