Givaudan Continues to Increase Prices After Posting Lower 3Q Sales
By Andrea Figueras
Givaudan reported a decline in sales for the third quarter in what it called a challenging environment in some of its markets and segments, and said it continues to implement price increases to offset higher input costs.
The Swiss flavor-and-fragrance company achieved sales of 1.7 billion Swiss francs ($1.88 billion) compared with CHF1.81 billion for the prior-year period, it said on Thursday.
The largest contributor to group sales during the quarter was the taste-and-wellbeing segment, with CHF891 million, although the figure was lower than in the previous year.
The company maintained its midterm targets, which are part of a five-year strategic cycle that ends in 2025, and aims to reach organic sales growth between 4% and 5% on a like-for-like basis and free cash flow of at least 12% on average.
