Cie du Bois Sauvage : Results H1 2024
Our published half-year results for 2024 show that Compagnie du Bois Sauvage’s investment fundamentals are strong. The Chocolate Division sales growth of 6.8%, thanks in particular to Jeff de Bruges and Neuhaus, which have improved their results. The persistent slowdown in sales in the property division has prompted us to maintain our cautious approach, but we remain convinced of the quality of the assets. In the Industry and Services division, Umicore is operating in an environment impacted by the slowdown in demand for electric vehicles.
Our sound cash and debt management will also enable us to seize promising opportunities for the future, in particular by continuing to support our investments in the industry of the future.
In this way, we are staying true to our DNA as a stable, trusted partner for entrepreneurs.
