Sales Performance: Barry Callebaut reported a 2.7% decline in sales volume for Q1 of fiscal 2025, worse than the expected 2.2%, with significant drops in Western Europe but growth in Latin America and Asia-Pacific. Despite this, revenue increased by 15% due to higher cocoa prices.
Future Outlook: The company has lowered its volume guidance for fiscal 2025 to a low-single-digit decline while maintaining expectations for double-digit EBIT growth, supported by pricing strategies and cost-saving initiatives amidst rising cocoa prices.
