Givaudan SA is a leading Swiss company specializing in the creation of fragrances, beauty products, and flavors, operating globally across over 100 countries. In its latest half-year report for 2025, Givaudan showcased a robust financial performance despite challenging geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions. The company reported a 3.4% increase in sales in Swiss Francs, reaching CHF 3,864 million, with a notable 6.3% growth on a like-for-like basis. The Fragrance & Beauty segment saw a significant 8.6% increase in like-for-like sales, while the Taste & Wellbeing segment experienced a 4.1% growth. Givaudan’s EBITDA rose by 4.4% to CHF 945 million, and the net income slightly increased to CHF 592 million, resulting in a net profit margin of 15.3%. However, the free cash flow turned negative due to investment timing and tax payments. Looking ahead, Givaudan remains committed to its growth strategy, aiming for 4-5% organic sales growth and a free cash flow of at least 12% over the five-year strategy cycle. The company continues to focus on sustainability, diversity, and safety as part of its long-term goals.
