Givaudan SA said Thursday that earnings fell slightly in the
first half of the year despite higher sales, as input costs
increased amid supply-chain disruption.
The Swiss flavor-and-fragrance company said sales rose 8.3% in
the six-month period to 3.65 billion Swiss francs ($3.76 billion),
driven by the taste and wellbeing division. In the second quarter
alone, reported group sales accelerated to 10%, coming in at
CHF1.87 billion.
However, net profit for the first half fell to CHF440 million
from CHF481 million a year earlier, as the operating margin
narrowed to 17.3% from 18.2%, Givaudan said. Earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization rose slightly to
CHF816 million.
Givaudan meanwhile backed its mid-term goals, including 4%-5%
organic sales growth and free cash flow of at least 12%. With input
costs climbing, the company is implementing price increases to
compensate, it said.
