Danone will stick to its initial growth estimates for 2022 but is keeping an eye on inflation, its new CEO says.
Speaking to stock analysts, Antoine de Saint-Affrique, who came from Barry Callebaut to head Danone in September, said that it’s too early for the French food giant to “formulate a credible path forward,” but that he would give details of a turnaround strategy early next year.
Danone’s sales for the third fiscal quarter rose 3.8% over the third quarter of last year, to 6.16 billion euros ($7.2 billion). The growth was slightly higher than analysts expected but represented a slowdown from the 6.6% growth rate of the second quarter.
Inflationary pressures on Danone reached 8% for 2021 so far and are expected to worsen next year, Danone’s finance chief said.
