Givaudan 3Q Sales Rose; Increases Prices to Offset Higher Input Costs

By Pierre Bertrand

Givaudan SA on Tuesday reported a rise in its third-quarter sales as it implements price increases to overcome higher input costs.

Sales reached 1.81 billion Swiss francs ($1.81 billion) compared to CHF1.69 billion for the prior-year period, the Swiss flavor-and-fragrance company said.

Analysts had expected the company's third-quarter sales at CHF1.83 billion, according to an average of company-collated analyst forecasts.

Sales were largely driven by its fragrance and beauty unit, where sales increased 7.1% to CHF843 million.

The company said that it was on track in implementing price increases to compensate for higher in input costs so far this year.

Givaudan maintained its mid-term goals including achieving organic sales growth of 4%-5% on a like-for-like basis and free cash flow of at least 12% on average over its five-year strategic cycle ending in 2025.
