May 20 (Reuters) - French food caterer Elior Group ELIOR.PA cut its full-year guidance on Wednesday citing delayed contract ramp-ups and persistent inflationary pressure.

The group, which supplies catering services to businesses, schools, prisons, hospitals and care homes, now sees 2026 organic revenue growth of 1% to 2%, down from the 3-4% previously guided, and an adjusted core profit margin of 3%, below the prior range of 3.5% and 3.7%.
