Henkel reported its fiscal year 2024 earnings, revealing an adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of €5.36, slightly above the estimated €5.32. The company's sales reached €21.59 billion, marginally below the forecast of €21.61 billion. Adjusted EBIT was reported at €3.09 billion, also falling short of the estimate of €3.11 billion, resulting in an adjusted EBIT margin of 14.3%, below the expected 14.4%. Looking ahead, Henkel anticipates an adjusted EBIT margin of 14% to 15.5% for 2025, with an estimate of 14.8%. Despite the slight miss on several key metrics, the company expects continued sales growth in 2025, although a slow start to the year is anticipated, contributing to a decline in its share price amid a soft outlook.
