In 2012, Emmi’s adjusted EBIT, which excluded gains from the sale of fixed assets, was up 12.2% at CHF146.3m. Adjusted net profit increased 8.8% to CHF90.3m, with a net profit margin of 3%.
Sales growth is expected to slow slightly in 2013. In 2012, revenue grew 9.6% to CHF2.98bn thanks to better sales abroad, which were boosted in part by acquisitions. This year, Emmi sees sales increasing 6-8%.
Shares in Emmi were up 1.85% at CHF275 at 10:21 CET this morning.
