Jan 13 (Reuters) - Swiss chocolate maker Lindt & Spruengli said on Tuesday its sales grew 12.4% organically in 2025, driven by higher cocoa prices that it passed through to customers, and slightly beat market expectations.
The company reported annual sales of 5.92 billion Swiss francs ($7.43 billion), compared with 5.90 billion francs seen in an LSEG poll of analysts.
Groupwide price increases of 19% underpinned growth in 2025, the chocolate-bunny maker said in a statement.
Lindt, which will report full annual results on March 10, also guided for an operating profit (EBIT) margin increase at the lower end of a 20-40 basis point range for the year.
