Profitability: Barry Callebaut delivered strong operating profit, with EBIT up 11% and net profit up 10.4% in local currencies for the half-year, despite challenging market conditions.
Volume Outlook: Sales volume declined 2.9% for the half-year, and management now expects flat to modest volume growth for the full year, revising down previous expectations for acceleration.
Mix & Pricing: Improved product mix, especially from specialty and value-added products, and successful price increases helped offset inflation and weaker demand.
Region Performance: EMEA recovered well, Americas lagged due to destocking and weaker demand, and Asia Pacific saw flat volumes but double-digit growth in China post-reopening.
Raw Materials: Cocoa bean prices rose, sugar prices surged in the EU, but dairy prices fell; cost-plus model largely protected profitability though working capital rose.
Leadership Change: New CEO Peter Feld affirmed commitment to company purpose and strategy but will take time before making changes; sustainability remains a core focus.
