today announced preliminary second quarter 2026 financial results. The execution of the Company&#8217;s plan continues to progress well in this rebuilding year. For the three-month period ended June&nbsp;30, 2026, Nomad Foods expects reported and
organic revenue to decline by <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">2.5-3.5%,</FONT> Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of approximately <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#128;120-&#128;126&nbsp;million</FONT> and closing cash and cash equivalents
balance of approximately &#128;273&nbsp;million. The Company is also reiterating its full year organic revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow conversion guidance. For the full year ending December&nbsp;31, 2026, the Company continues
to expect organic revenue to decline by <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">2%-5%,</FONT> Adjusted EBITDA to decline by <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">5%-10%</FONT> and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion of 90%+. The Company is evaluating its
full-year EPS guidance as a result of anticipated debt refinancing activities and the associated impact of such activities on the Company&#8217;s anticipated interest expense and Adjusted Net Income. </P>

Chief Executive Officer, stated, &#8220;We are pleased to report that second quarter results are projected to be ahead of the expectations we communicated last quarter and we remain confident in our ability to deliver on the full-year organic sales
and Adjusted EBITDA guidance. The growth of our category remains robust and we have seen the successful implementation of our previously announced price increases contributing to a
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">year-on-year</FONT></FONT> increase in gross margin for the quarter. We look forward to sharing more details when we report second quarter 2026 results in August.&#8221; </P>

robust, and our balance sheet is strong. Given this and the current market conditions, we believe now is the right time to proactively explore the refinancing of our indebtedness. This may increase our interest expense, but we intend to take certain
actions to reduce that impact over time, primarily by reducing our net debt.&#8221; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Enquiries </I></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Nomad Foods (NYSE: NOMD) is Europe&#8217;s leading frozen food company. The Company&#8217;s portfolio of iconic brands, which includes Birds Eye, Findus, iglo,
Ledo and Frikom, have been a part of consumers&#8217; meals for generations, standing for great tasting food that is convenient, high quality and nutritious. Nomad Foods is headquartered in the United Kingdom. Additional information may be found at
www.nomadfoods.com. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-IFRS</FONT> Financial Information </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Nomad Foods is presenting Adjusted and Organic forecast financial information, which is considered <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-IFRS</FONT> financial
information, for the three months ended June&nbsp;30, 2026 and for the fiscal year 2026. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Adjusted financial information reflects the historical reported
financial statements of Nomad Foods, adjusted primarily for, when they occur, share based payment expenses and related employer payroll taxes, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-operating</FONT> M&amp;A related costs, acquisition purchase price
adjustments, exceptional items and foreign currency translation charges/gains. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Adjusted EBITDA is profit or loss for the period before taxation, net
financing costs, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude, when they occur, the impacts of exited markets, acquisition purchase price adjustments and exceptional items such as restructuring charges, goodwill and intangible asset impairment
charges and other unusual or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-recurring</FONT> items. In addition, we exclude other adjustments such as the impact of share based payment expenses and related employer payroll taxes, and <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-operating</FONT> M&amp;A related costs, because we do not believe they are indicative of our normal operating costs, can vary significantly in amount and frequency, and are unrelated to our underlying operating
performance. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA provides important comparability of underlying operating results, allowing investors and management to assess operating performance on a consistent basis. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to profit/(loss) for the period, determined in accordance with IFRS, as an indicator of the
Company&#8217;s operating performance. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Organic revenue growth/(decline) is an adjusted measurement of our operating results. The comparison for the three
months ended June&nbsp;30, 2026 and 2025 presented in this press release takes into consideration only those activities that were in effect during both time periods. Organic revenue growth/(decline) reflects reported revenue adjusted for currency
translation and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-comparable</FONT> trading items such as expansion, acquisitions, disposals, closures, trading day impacts or any other event that artificially impacts the comparability of our results period over
period. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Adjustments for currency translation are calculated by translating data of the current and comparative periods using a budget foreign exchange
rate that is set once a year as part of the Company&#8217;s internal annual forecast process. </P>

<Center><DIV STYLE="width:8.5in" align="left">
 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Adjusted Free Cash Flow is the amount of cash generated from operating activities less cash flows related to
exceptional items (as described above), <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-operating</FONT> M&amp;A related costs and working capital movements on employer taxes associated with share based payment awards, plus capital expenditure (on property,
plant and equipment and intangible assets), net interest paid, proceeds/(payments) on settlement of derivatives where hedge accounting is not applied and payments of lease liabilities. Adjusted free cash flow reflects cash flows that could be used
for payment of dividends, repayment of debt or to fund acquisitions or other strategic objectives. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Adjusted Free Cash flow conversion is Adjusted Free
Cash Flow as a percentage of Adjusted Profit for the period. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Adjusted and Organic <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-IFRS</FONT> financial information

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Nomad Foods believes its <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-IFRS</FONT> financial measures provide an important additional measure with which to monitor and
evaluate the Company&#8217;s ongoing financial results, as well as to reflect its acquisitions. Nomad Foods&#8217; calculation of these financial measures may be different from the calculations used by other companies and comparability may therefore
be limited. The Adjusted and Organic financial information presented herein is based upon certain assumptions that Nomad Foods believes to be reasonable and is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of any
anticipated financial position or future results of operations that the Company will experience. You should not consider the Company&#8217;s <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-IFRS</FONT> financial measures an alternative or substitute for the
Company&#8217;s reported results and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these results and information as they may not be representative of our actual or future results as a Company. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company is unable to reconcile, without unreasonable efforts Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter ended June&nbsp;30, 2026 and Organic revenue
growth/(decline), Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow conversion guidance for the full year 2026 to the most directly comparable IFRS measure as we are unable to predict the amounts to be adjusted, such as certain adjustments related to
provisions for taxes. These adjustments are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on the IFRS reported results for the period. The only reconciling item between revenue growth and Organic revenue growth/(decline) for
the second quarter ended June&nbsp;30, 2026, is the impact of adjustments for currency translation which is expected to be 0.0%- (0.5)%. </P>

preliminary results for the quarter ended June&nbsp;30, 2026 included in this press release are preliminary, unaudited and subject to completion, and may change as a result of management&#8217;s continued review. Such preliminary results are subject
to the finalization of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">quarter-end</FONT> financial and accounting procedures. The preliminary results represent management&#8217;s estimates that constitute forward-looking statements subject to risks and
