Brambles Earnings: Pricing and Pallet Recovery Offsets Inflation and Volume Declines
Brambles' fiscal 2023 constant-currency sales growth of 14% was reflective of pricing increases and operating efficiency, despite lower volumes. Volume declined by 2% lower versus the prior corresponding period, or PCP, with a pallet shortage in the first half, and customers holding less inventory than in the prior year. Underlying profit of USD 1 billion was 19% higher than the PCP on a constant-currency basis, with improved pricing offsetting cost inflation. Brambles declared a final fiscal 2023 dividend of USD 14 cents per share, for full-year dividends totaling USD 26.25 cents per share, 35% franked.
