(Reuters) - Swiss chocolate maker Lindt & Spruengli on Tuesday said its sales grew 7.8% organically last year, coming in slightly below market expectations, hit by record high cocoa prices and weakened consumer sentiment.
The maker of Lindor chocolate balls said its overall sales were 5.47 billion Swiss francs ($5.97 billion) in 2024. That missed analysts' average forecast of 5.49 billion francs, based on LSEG data.
For 2025, Lindt forecast increased organic growth of between 7% and 9% and an improvement in its operating profit margin of 20–40 basis points.
The company will report full annual results on March 4.
