Haleon announced their 2022 Q3 Trading Statement for three months ended 30 September 2022.
Another quarter of strong growth underpinned by positive volume/mix
Pricing and efficiencies offsetting inflationary pressures
Increased financial flexibility despite adverse currency
Upgrade to full year guidance
Haleon delivered another strong quarter of growth in Q3 with 8% organic revenue growth and double digit growth for the nine months, with increased pricing through the year and continued positive volume/mix. We saw accelerated growth in the third quarter in Oral Health, whilst strong comparatives in Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements resulted in category revenue down slightly overall sales were similar to earlier quarters. Respiratory performance was strong given sustained incidences of Covid and cold and flu combined with successful innovation. Looking ahead given this positive momentum, we now expect FY organic revenue to be between 8.0-8.5% and have updated margin expectations for more favourable currency.
Overall Haleon is demonstrating its strength in a challenging market environment. Whilst macroeconomic conditions remain volatile and uncertain, we remain confident that the quality of our portfolio, disciplined execution of our strategy, and continued investment will enable Haleon to deliver on medium term guidance
Adjusted results | Reported results | ||||
Period ended 30 September (unaudited) | 2022 | vs 2021 | 2022 | vs 2021 | |
Three months Organic revenue growth2 | 8.1% | Three months revenue | £2,892m | 16.1% | |
Nine months Organic revenue growth2 | 10.3% | Nine months revenue | £8,080m | 14.4% |
Outlook
FY22 organic revenue growth now expected at 8.0-8.5%.
At H1 Results we guided to FY22 adjusted operating profit margin slightly down at constant currency. Operational performance remains as expected with pricing and increased efficiencies fully offsetting inflationary pressures, albeit we now would expect an increase in the adverse transactional FX impact from recent currency movements of up to 30bps.
Adjusted operating margin in FY22 is now expected to be slightly above last year at actual exchange rates (FY21: 22.8%), given recent favourable translational FX movements3.
