“ We will join forces in our consumer goods businesses to create one strong , integrated business unit as a foundation for future profitable growth . The integrated Consumer Brands business will bring significant benefits to Henkel , our shareholders , customers and teams and will be wellpositioned to actively shape its future in a highly dynamic industry ,” said Carsten Knobel , CEO of Henkel .
“ We are creating a multi-category platform with around 10 billion euros in sales . This will provide a broader basis to further optimize and shape our portfolio towards a higher growth and margin profile . We will also capture significant synergies and efficiency gains , allowing us to free up resources which will be used in part for targeted investments in our strategic priorities , such as innovation , sustainability , and digitalization . We will become an even more attractive employer of choice , offering bigger roles and growth opportunities in an exciting industry . In summary : I am convinced that this merger will take our Purposeful Growth Agenda to the next level .”
The merger is designed to drive growth and profitability for the consumer business and the company . This is also reflected in the new midto long-term financial ambition which Henkel provided : the company now aims for 3 to 4 percent organic sales growth , an adjusted EBIT margin of around 16 percent and mid- to highsingle-digit percentage growth in adjusted earnings per preferred share ( at constant exchange rates , incl M & A ).
Outlook 2022
Taking into account the current assessment of the market environment , in particular the continuing tense situation in the markets for raw materials as well as in the supply chains and related further strong increases in direct material cost , Henkel provided its outlook for fiscal 2022 ( based on the current setup with three business units ).
Henkel expects organic sales growth for the Group in the range of 2 to 4 percent in 2022 . For the
Adhesive Technologies business unit , Henkel expects organic sales growth in the range between 5 and 7 percent in 2022 . For the Beauty Care business unit , negative organic sales development in the range between -5 and -3 percent is expected . The decrease is mainly due to measures already decided and in implementation to improve the portfolio , including the discontinuation of activities that will not be part of the future core business , amounting to around 5 percent of the business unit ’ s sales in 2021 . For Laundry & Home Care , Henkel expects organic growth of 2 to 4 percent .
