maxingvest reports solid performance again in 2023 - Tchibo holds its own in a difficult market environment
Hamburg, 22 August 2024 - The maxingvest Group generated revenues of €12,649 million in the 2023 financial year, up 5% in nominal terms and 8% organically on the previous year's figure of €12,044 million.
The maxingvest Group's EBIT totalled €1,160 million in the reporting year (previous year: €897 million). The Group thus achieved an EBIT return on sales of 9.2% (previous year: 7.4%).
Tchibo generates positive result again
The strategic and structural measures introduced in summer 2023 to strengthen the business began to take effect in the fourth quarter. EBIT improved to €68 million, in particular due to better contribution margins as a result of lower costs for raw materials, energy, and logistics as well as lower marketing and sales costs. This was significantly higher than the previous year's figure of €-167 million. The EBIT Return on Sales was 2.1% (previous year: -5.1%).
Revenues totalled €3,202 million in the reporting year, down 1% on the previous year (€3,245 million) in both nominal and organic terms.
The performance of the different sales channels of Tchibo varied in a challenging market environment. The Tchibo Shop (Filiale) business saw an increase in sales with rising customer frequency and stronger coffee sales. The international brands business with coffee also developed positively. The out-of-home business with coffee and coffee machines benefited from the re-opening of the catering trade, the normalisation of people's travel and leisure behaviour, and the decline in home office work. Overall, Tchibo consolidated its lead in the German roasted coffee market.
The stronger Coffee business partially offset the decline in consumer goods. Weaker Non Food sales resulted from customers' reluctance to buy due to inflation. The general decline in demand affecting online retail as a whole had a particular impact on the Non Food business.
Beiersdorf reports strong growth and increasing profitability
Beiersdorf achieved revenues of €9,447 million in 2023 (previous year: €8,799 million). Organic revenues were up 11% on the previous year. EBIT excluding special effects reached €1,268 million (previous year: €1,158 million). The EBIT margin excluding special effects totalled 13.4% (previous year: 13.2%).
Outlook
Tchibo expects profitable growth in 2024
Tchibo continues to operate in a very difficult market environment in 2024, characterised by continuing high cost pressure, an extremely price-driven competitive environment for coffee and Non Food as well as price-sensitive consumers who continue to be unsettled by external factors such as the further deterioration in the overall economic situation and the effects of the war in Ukraine and the situation in the Middle East. Tchibo is responding to these challenges by systematically continuing its measures to strengthen its business and reduce costs. Against this backdrop, Tchibo expects slight revenue growth and positive earnings before interest and taxes, at the previous year's level. Future-oriented projects, such as investments in stationary sales and in information technology, will continue to be driven forward.
Beiersdorf
Beiersdorf anticipates organic revenues growth of 6% to 8% for the Group for the full year. Beiersdorf expects the Group's operating EBIT margin excluding special effects to be slightly above the previous year's level.
