BIC's earnings call presented a mixed outlook with a notable rebound in Q2 growth, strong performance from Tangle Teezer, and resilience in maintaining margins. However, challenges such as declines in the U.S. market, overall net sales drop in H1, and negative free cash flow indicate some ongoing difficulties.

Company Guidance -

Q3 2025

During the BIC First Half 2025 Results Conference Call, the company provided guidance for the full year 2025, anticipating net sales growth between 0% and 3% at constant currencies, with an adjusted EBIT margin expected to be around 15%. Additionally, free cash flow is projected to exceed EUR 240 million. In the first half of 2025, BIC reported a net sales decline of 2.4% at constant currencies, although it achieved a 1.4% growth in the second quarter. The adjusted EBIT margin for H1 2025 was 13.7%, down 120 basis points from the previous year, and the adjusted EPS stood at EUR 2.35, compared to EUR 2.95 in the prior year. The company faced challenges such as higher raw material costs, unfavorable currency fluctuations, and reduced consumer confidence, yet maintained resilience with positive contributions from its strategic initiatives, including the performance of Tangle Teezer, which achieved double-digit growth.

Growth Rebound in Q2

BIC returned to growth in the second quarter with a 1.4% increase at constant currency, marking an 8.4 percentage points improvement in net sales growth compared to Q1.

Tangle Teezer Double-Digit Growth

Tangle Teezer achieved double-digit growth and contributed 4 points to the group's overall growth in the first half of 2025.

Resilient EBIT Margin

Despite a tough start to the year, BIC maintained a resilient margin of 13.7%, only 120 basis points below last year.

Innovation and Product Launches

Successful launches such as the 4-Color Smooth pen and Intensity Paint markers contributed to first-half performance, with the 4-Color pen growing 35% in net sales since 2021.

Distribution Gains

BIC achieved more than 20% growth in the discounters' channel in Europe over two years, driven by stationery and lighters.
