Henkel delivers significant sales increase in 2022 – poised for further growth in fiscal 2023

“In 2022, we achieved significant sales growth and a robust earnings performance in a very challenging year – and we implemented important strategic measures. We succeeded in partially compensating the dramatic rise in raw material and logistics costs through higher prices and continued efficiency improvements. This is reflected in our sales, which reached a new high of around 22.4 billion euros, and an operating profit of 2.3 billion euros. Based on that, we are proposing to our shareholders a stable dividend at prior-year level. By merging our consumer businesses into the Consumer Brands business unit, we have also successfully launched one of the biggest transformations of our company in recent decades,” said Henkel CEO Carsten Knobel.

Henkel Group sales reached 22,397 million euros in fiscal 2022. This corresponds to a nominal growth of 11.6 percent and to a significant organic sales growth of 8.8 percent, driven by price increases across all business units. The impact of acquisitions and divestments on sales was slightly negative at -1.1 percent. Currency effects had a positive impact of 3.9 percent on sales.
