(1) The currency impact is determined by applying the average exchange rate for
the first half of the previous year to the figures for the first half of the
current year, with the exception of the difference related to the Venezuelan
Bolivar Fuerte, which is the difference between the corresponding closing
parallel rate (market rate) as of February 28, 2010 and the average official
rate for the first half of Fiscal 2009. 

Commenting on the results, CEO Michel Landel said: 

"The positive results in the first half reflect the efforts of Sodexo and its
teams to retain clients, succeed in new markets, continue our productivity
improvements and invest in the long term. By understanding client needs, we are
able to respond with a unique comprehensive service solutions offer that
contributes to their improved performance. The initial signs of recovery in
business development reinforce our confidence in the Group`s medium term
outlook."

1. Revenue growth 

Consolidated revenues for the first half of Fiscal 2010 were 7.5 billion euro,
an increase of 2.3%, excluding exchange impacts, reflecting:

* organic revenue growth of 0.4%
* an increase of 1.9% resulting from the integration of Score (France),
Zehnacker (Germany), Comfort Keepers (U.S.A.) and RKHS (India).

Organic growth in On-site Service Solutions was + 0.2%, including a - 1.7%
decrease in Corporate and an increase in all other segments: Education, Health
Care, Seniors, Defense and Justice. 

Compared to the first half of the previous year, organic growth in Motivation
Solutions slowed sharply to + 3.2%, a consequence of lower workforces in large
companies. However, the level of client retention continued to be excellent. 

2. Increase in operating profit 

Operating profit increased 11.9% excluding currency impacts, to 426 million
euro, a result of productivity improvements in On-site Service Solutions in all
geographies: North America, Europe and Rest of the World. Introduction in France
of the "Contribution Economique Territoriale" (CET), which replaced the "Taxe
Professionnelle," increased operating profit by 9 million euro.(1)

Including currency impacts, and in spite of the strong performance by Motivation
Solutions, operating profit increased by only 1.2%, a result of the impact of
Venezuela`s January 2010 devaluation of the Bolivar Fuerte. 

Sodexo`s consolidated operating margin improved to 5.7% compared to 5.5% for the
first half of Fiscal 2009. 

3. Increase in Group net income 

Group net income was 227 million euro, an increase of 3.7%, a growth rate higher
than the increase in operating profit despite the full effect of financing costs
related to the acquisitions made during the previous year. 

4. Marked improvement in net cash provided by operating activities 

Net cash provided by operating activities was 335 million euro, a marked
improvement to the 184 million euro during the first half of the previous year,
confirming the strength of the Group`s financial model. 

(1) The "Taxe Professionnelle" was treated as an expense in Fiscal 2009
operating profit while the CET represents an income tax charge. The impact on
Group net income is insignificant. 

5. Net debt 

As of February 28, 2010, net debt reached 1,036 million euro compared to 1,170
million euro as of February 28, 2009 and represented 42% of equity compared to
50% as of February 28, 2009. As of February 28, 2010 gross debt represented less
than four years of operating cash flow. 

6. Sodexo recognitions 

For the third straight year, Sodexo`s commitment to sustainable development was
recognized through two major distinctions from the ratings group Sustainable
Asset Management (SAM): "SAM Sector Leader 2010" and "SAM Gold Class 2010." 

Sodexo also was recently named to the prestigious list of "World`s Most Admired
Companies 2010" published by FORTUNE Magazine. 

In 2010, the American Ethisphere Institute named Sodexo for the second
consecutive year as one of "The World`s Most Ethical Companies" for its high
ethical standards and socially responsible practices. 

Also in 2010, Sodexo was ranked third in the Global Outsourcing 100 by the
International Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP). The full ranking
will be published in the May 3 issue of FORTUNE magazine. It is the fifth year
in a row that Sodexo has ranked in the "top five" of this international
benchmark reference on outsourcing. 

7. Fiscal 2010 outlook 

CEO Michel Landel presented the outlook for the remainder of Fiscal 2010. 

Despite Sodexo`s good performance during the beginning of the year, Michel
Landel explained to the Board the need for caution for the remainder of the year
because:

* economic recovery remains weak in Sodexo`s activities in North America and
Europe; 
* longer decision-making by clients is slowing the start-up of new contracts; 
* important investment efforts in human resources are scheduled during the
second half of the year to support Sodexo`s comprehensive service solutions
offer, particularly for large national and international clients.

For the full year Fiscal 2010, the Group expects to achieve a modest increase in
organic revenue growth (around 0.5% to 1%) and operating profit of between 770
and 790 million euro(2), excluding currency impacts. 

(2) Adjusted as a result of the introduction of the CET in France, which
replaced the "Taxe Professionnelle"

Analysis of activities and operational entities

On-site Service Solutions

Revenues in On-site Service Solutions were 7.2 billion euro, an increase of 2.2%
excluding currency impacts. Organic growth was 0.2%. After a first quarter
decline, organic growth resumed in the second quarter (December 2009 to February
2010). The first effects of the crisis had been felt in all geographies
beginning in January 2009, creating a more favorable basis for comparison with
the previous year. 

The evolution during the first half reflects:

* A decline of - 1.7% in Corporate resulting from:

* continued significantly lower client workforce levels and discretionary
spending in North America and Europe; 
* a smaller contribution from Rest of the World with the conclusion of certain
Remote Sites contracts.

* An increase of + 2.1% in Health Care and Seniors in a context of moderated
growth on existing sites and slower decision-making by potential clients that
restrained business development and revenue growth. 
* An increase in Education of + 1.8% resulting from increased university
enrollment but also affected by:

* the current reduction in purchasing power by students and their families; 
* a limited number of construction and renovation projects.

Operating profit for the On-site Service Solutions activity increased nearly 27
million euro to 363 million euro, an operating margin of 5.1%. 

North America

Revenues in North America reached 2.9 billion euro for organic growth of + 0.5%.
At the same time, the evolution of the average exchange rate of the U.S. dollar
against the euro had an unfavorable impact of - 7.2% on overall growth. 

With a decline of - 4.8%, Corporate remained the segment most exposed to the
economic crisis, as expected, with a continued significant reduction in
patronage in company restaurants. 

Recent contract wins for comprehensive service offers include Toyota
(Georgetown, Kentucky), Google Inc., British Aerospace and Bayer (Canada). 

In Health Care and Seniors, organic revenue growth of + 1.4% primarily reflects
more moderate existing site growth as well as the effect of weak business
development in the previous year resulting from a "wait and see" attitude on the
part of potential clients and slower decision-making. 

Sodexo`s leadership was confirmed in this high potential segment with a low
level of outsourcing through contract wins such as Abbott Northwestern Hospital
(Minneapolis, Minnesota), Mount Sinai Medical Center (New York, NY), Bridgewater
Retirement Community (Bridgewater, Virginia) and Trident Regional Medical Center
(Charleston, South Carolina). 

In Education, organic revenue growth was + 2.3%, reflecting:

* higher university enrollment and student participation in school foodservice
programs; 
* lower levels of spending by students.

Significant contracts won during the first half include University of Washington
(Seattle, Washington) and Thomas County School District (Thomasville, Georgia). 

Significant improvements in productivity and strict control of food costs on
site, particularly in Education, could not completely offset the negative
effects of the economic crisis on Corporate. As a result, operating profit
declined slightly by 1.1% at constant rates, to 171 million euro. 

Operating margin is almost unchanged at 5.9%, compared with 6.0% during the
first half of the previous year. 

Continental Europe

In Continental Europe, revenues were 2.7 billion euro, a decline of - 0.4%
(excluding currency and change in consolidation scope). 

Revenues fell - 2.2% in Corporate, reflecting the continued difficult economic
environment in all countries. 

Contract wins included the signing of a contract with the French Justice
Ministry for 27 correctional facilities, Audi Hungaria Motor Kft (Gyor,
Hungary), Carrefour (Brussels, Belgium) and Nokia (Denmark). 

In Health Care and Seniors, organic revenue growth was + 1.4%, essentially
reflecting moderate growth on existing sites and new site openings, particularly
in Belgium and Sweden. At the same time, as in North America, commercial
development remains moderate as a result of slower decision-making by potential
clients. 

Recent contract wins include Universitätsklinikum Schleswig-Holstein Campus Kiel
(Kiel, Germany), H. Juan Grande Jerez (Jerez, Spain), A.P.S.P. Civica di Trento
(Trento, Italy) and the Centre Médico-Chirurgical de l`Europe (Paris, France). 

Organic growth in Education of (+ 2.3%) mainly reflects the opening of new
contracts in Hungary, Sweden and the Netherlands. 

New contracts include the signing of a contract with EDHEC (Lille, France). 

Implementation of synergies from the acquisitions of Score in France and
Zehnacker in Germany is on track with the integration plan. 

Operating profit was 138 million euro, an increase of 24% compared to the first
half of Fiscal 2009. This excellent performance is a result of:

* improved profitability in Sweden following measures taken to renegociate and
exit some contracts in the previous fiscal year; 
* increased purchasing productivity; 
* strict control of overhead costs and organizational efficiency improvements.

The operating margin improved from 4.3% during the first half of Fiscal 2009 to
5.1% for the first half of Fiscal 2010. 

UK and Ireland

Revenues were 0.6 billion euro, a decline of 3.8% (excluding currency effects). 

The - 7% decrease in Corporate results primarily from lower client workforce
levels and the closure of sites during the previous year. The conclusion of a
major Justice contract during the summer of 2009 also contributed to the decline
in revenues. 

Benefiting from the increased effect of certain Public Private Partnership (PPP)
contracts, including Manchester Royal Infirmary and North Staffordshire
Hospital, Health Care and Seniors continued its strong growth (+ 10.6%) compared
to the first half of Fiscal 2009. During the first half, Sodexo won a contract
with Nuffield Health and Wellbeing. 

The - 6.3% decrease in revenues in Education reflects the strict control of
spending by students and their families as well as significant continued
commercial selectivity. A number of contracts were won during the first half,
including Kings Park Primary School (Wiltshire), Reading Blue Coats and
University of Stirling. 

Operating profit was 24 million euro, an increase of approximately 32%,
excluding currency impacts. This strong increase reflects improvements in site
productivity. It also should be noted that the first half of Fiscal 2009 had
been impacted by the costs of initial opening of certain PPP contracts in Health
Care and Justice. 

The operating margin was 4.1% compared with 3% during the first half of the
previous year. 

Rest of the World

In Rest of the World (Latin America, Middle East, Asia, Africa, Australia and
Remote Sites), revenues were nearly one billion euro for the first half. 

The rate of business development in Latin America, Asia and Remote Sites
remained solid but the completion of the construction phase conclusion of
several Remote Sites projects limited organic growth to 3.9%. 

New contracts include Petrobras (Sao Paulo, Brazil), Karazhanbasmunai (Aktau,
Kazakhstan), Baytur Abba (Saudi Arabia), Tata Motors (India) and Wuhan Heavy
Duty Machine Tool Group Corporation (China). 

In India, Sodexo continued the successful integration of RKHS, which positioned
Sodexo as the leader in one of Asia`s largest potential markets. 

Operating profit increased nearly 70%, excluding currency impacts, to reach 30
million euro. This performance is a result of improvements in productivity and
rigorous management of contractual clauses, particularly in the Middle East and
Latin America. 

Operating margin was 3.0% compared to 2.0% for the first half of Fiscal 2009. 

Motivation Solutions

Revenues for the Motivation Solutions activity were 331 million euro, or 3.2%
organic growth. 

Compared to the first half for the previous fiscal year, organic growth slowed,
a result of three factors:

* the continued decline in the number of beneficiaries, particularly in Central
Europe; 
* decreased financial revenues, consistent with expectations, related to lower
interest rates; 
* some pressures on client commissions resulting from strong competition in
certain countries.

Client retention rates remain excellent, which should help accelerate growth in
the medium term as the economic recovery takes hold. 

Recent contract wins include Media Markt (Belgium), CNES (France), Sberbank
(Russia), Global Village Telecom (Brazil), Microsoft (China) and PepsiCo India
Holding (India). 

Operating profit was 101 million euro. Currency impacts reduced operating profit
by 28 million euro, a result primarily of Venezuelan January 2010 devaluation of
the Bolivar Fuerte. 

Excluding currency impacts, operating profit increased by 3.2%. 

Operating margin for the activity was 30.5%. Excluding the impact of the
devaluation of the Bolivar Fuerte, the margin would have been close to 35%,
reflecting significant improvements in productivity and a reduction of fixed
costs that offset the decline in interest rates.

1 Organic growth: revenue growth, at constant scope of consolidation and
exchange rates. 

2 The currency impact was globally negative (- 4%) for half year: (- 7.8%) for
the US dollar, (- 5.1%) for the Pound, (+ 11.2%) for the BRL and (- 67.9%) for
the Venezuelan bolivar due to the devaluation. It should be noted that, contrary
to exporting companies, the revenues and expenses of Sodexo subsidiaries are
denominated in the same currency. Consequently, foreign exchange variations do
not have an operational risk. The average exchange rate for the USD/euro for
Fiscal 2009 was 1.445.
