The earnings call reflected a strong overall performance in 2024 with significant achievements in organic growth, margin improvement, and strategic portfolio optimization. Despite a challenging start anticipated for 2025, Henkel has shown resilience through strong free cash flow, robust EPS growth, and successful M&A activities. However, challenges remain, particularly in North America and the industrial market, which could impact performance in the early part of 2025.Company Guidance
During the Henkel Full Year 2024 Results Conference Call, the company provided guidance for 2025, indicating expectations for continued top and bottom line growth despite a challenging environment. Henkel anticipates organic sales growth between 1.5% and 3.5% for the group, with Adhesive Technologies expected to grow by 2% to 4% and Consumer Brands by 1% to 3%. The company projects an adjusted EBIT margin between 14% and 15.5%, with Adhesive Technologies targeting 16% to 17.5% and Consumer Brands aiming for 13.5% to 15%.
