Robertet's 2023 sales performance breaks down as follows by division:
- Raw Materials, representing 23.2% of sales, were down 9.6% due to the continued downturn in the US aromatherapy market and in organic products.
- Fragrances, accounting for 37.9% of sales, were up by a strong 9.3%, driven by the success of emerging brands and their international expansion.
- Flavors, representing 36.0% of sales, grew by 5.1%, reflecting the division's sound position in a market that contracted in 2023.
- Health & Beauty, accounting for 2.9% of sales, rose by 3.9%, as the division continued to roll out its business internationally with high-quality natural active ingredients.
The Group's organic growth in sales of 4.5% was fueled by North America, Asia and South America, while growth remained stable in Europe.
Robertet's 2023 audited results will be available in its annual financial report, to be published on the Group's website on April 19, 2024. EBITDA for 2023 looks set to have increased, and the EBITDA/sales ratio to have contracted slightly from 18.3% in 2022.
