Cloetta B

Cloetta reports net sales of SEK 2.1 billion for Q1 2026 and organic growth of 6.9%, driven by strong Pick-&-Mix-Plus performance and gains in the Nordics and North America. The adjusted operating margin rose to 12.9%, exceeding the target of at least 12% by 2027; management sees the 2026 full-year target within reach. Net debt fell to a record low of SEK 820 million (net leverage 0.6x), the dividend policy was tightened and the organic growth target was raised to 3–4%. Free cash flow declined due to working-capital effects around the Easter period, but the company says operational momentum and product innovations remain intact. » Más en de.investing.com
