*Updated on March 19, 2018.
On March 19, 2018, Henkel updated its guidance for fiscal 2018.
We confirm our guidance for the Henkel Group and continue to expect organic sales growth of 2 and 4 percent. We expect growth in the Adhesive Technologies and Laundry & Home Care business units to be within this range. In the Beauty Care business unit, we expect positive organic sales growth below this range.
We continue to expect the contribution to the nominal sales growth of the Henkel Group from acquisitions made in 2017 to be in the low single-digit percentage range, and the translation of sales in foreign currencies to have a negative effect.
For adjusted return on sales (EBIT), we confirm our expectation of an increase year on year to
more than 17.5 percent. All three business units are expected to contribute to this positive performance.
We confirm our guidance for adjusted earnings per preferred share and expect an increase between 5 and 8 percent. The bandwidth for our guidance in respect of growth in adjusted earnings per preferred share reflects particularly the uncertainty prevailing on the currency markets, especially with regard to the development of the US dollar.
Furthermore, we have the following expectations for 2018:
