Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli AG has released its half-year results for January to June 2025, reporting total sales of CHF 2,560.3 million, an increase from CHF 2,319.1 million in the same period of the previous year. The segment sales were distributed as follows: Europe contributed CHF 1,453.8 million, up from CHF 1,229.1 million; North America recorded sales of CHF 802.1 million, slightly up from CHF 796.8 million; and the Rest of the World segment reported sales of CHF 304.4 million, compared to CHF 293.2 million in the previous year. The operating profit $(EBIT)$ for the first half of 2025 stood at CHF 259.2 million, representing 11.0% of sales, which is a decrease from the previous year's EBIT of CHF 292.3 million, or 13.5% of sales. This decline in operating profit is attributed to various factors, including changes in inventories and increased costs of materials and personnel expenses. No significant events occurred after the balance sheet date that would necessitate adjustments to the company's assets or liabilities. The company did not provide specific guidance or outlook for the remainder of the year in the report. The Lindt & Sprüngli Group continues to anticipate the typical seasonal variation in sales, with lower orders during the summer season compared to the Christmas business peak.
