Nestlé nine-month sales: 4.2% organic growth, 2.0% real internal growth
- Sales of CHF 64.9 billion
- 4.2 organic growth, 2.0% real internal growth
- Organic growth in developed markets 2.2%, emerging markets 6.8%
- 2 Full-Year Outlook: organic growth of around 4.5%, with improvements in margins and underlying earnings per share in constant currencies, and capital efficiency
Paul Bulcke, Nestlé CEO: "After a good performance in the first half of the year we were impacted in the third quarter by exceptional events, with Maggi noodles in India and a rebate adjustment in Nestlé Skin Health. Yet our real internal growth increased, reflecting broad-based positive momentum across our business and many of our markets. There was continued solid performance in Europe, Nestlé Waters and Nestlé Health Science. We made good progress in much of Latin America and delivered a significant improvement in North America, especially in frozen food, contrasting with slower sales recovery in China. On the whole, organic growth fell short of our expectations and therefore we project organic growth of around 4.5% for the full year, with improvements in margins and underlying earnings per share in constant currencies, and capital efficiency."
