Insights of Financial Results

Although the overall organic growth in sales was 4.2%, it totaled 2.2% in developed countries and 6.8% in emerging markets. Based on these numbers, the company also announced the outlook for the remaining year. It predicts the overall organic growth to remain around 4.5% and a decent growth in underlying earnings per share and growth.

The senior management of the company is delighted to announce these numbers and hope that they will continue to bolster in the coming months. According to Paul Bulcke, CEO, Nestle, the first half of 2015 was exceptionally well for the company; however, during 3Q2015 Nestle got hit by many unforeseen events. The backlash on Maggie Noodles in India affected Nestle’s hopes badly, yet it managed to grow internally across the globe.

Nestlé Health Science and Nestlé Waters performed well during the third quarter and supported the core operations of Nestle effectively. The sales didn’t grow as per expectations in China, but its performance in North and Latin America in terms of frozen food was better than what everybody had expected. Overall, the organic growth couldn’t surpass Nestle management’s expectations; hence, the company has decided to reduce the yearly outlook to 4.5%.
