Outlook and Guidance

Outlook and Guidance
Topic Update
Where we stand Innovation
continues
to
be
central
to
our
business
model
and
it
ensures
the
unique
position
of
our
Group
in
the
global
Beauty
market.
During
Cosmoprof,
the
biggest
Beauty
fair
worldwide,
we
welcomed
approx.
350
customers,
interested
in
discovering
new
trends
and
new
formulations
proposed
by
Intercos
for
the
years
to
come.
We
continue
to
develop
new
formulations
and
new
patents.
As
an
example,
we
have
recently
presented
to
clients
products
with
a
new
patented
active
for
skincare,
the
phytocerasome,
which
will
also
be
used
on
powders,
mascaras,
and
on
other
cosmetics,
following
the
"skinification"
trend.
Our view The
macroeconomic
context,
albeit
still
uncertain,
appears
to
be
more
predictable
than
last
year
and
the
economic
outlook
a
bit
less
negative
than
originally
expected.
On
the
inflation
side,
last
year
prices
volatility
has
calmed
down
and
main
inflation
source
should
now
be
related
to
salary
increases.
We
anticipated
this
effect
and
the
prices
increases
agreed
with
clients
and
effective
as
of
Q2
should
cover
us
from
it.
The
fears
of
recession
and
of
Beauty
consumption
declines
are
not
materializing
so
far.
Also,
China's
expected
progressive
recovery
is
materializing.
Hence,
while
remaining
prudent,
we
are
more
reassured
on
2023
underlining
market
performance.
As
for
Intercos
dynamics,
the
improved
reliability
of
the
supply
chain
allowed
the
Group
to
sharply
increase
production
output
in
1Q23,
reducing
part
of
the
order
book
accumulated
in
the
course
of
2022.
This
trend
is
expected
to
continue
also
in
2Q23.
The new FY23
Guidance
The
Group
now
expects
FY23
Net
Sales
at
constant
exchange
rates
to
increase
vs.
FY22
in
a
range
between
+12%/+14%
(a
sharp
increase
compared
to
the
+8%/+11%
communicated
at
the
end
of
FY22).
For
the
reasons
explained
above
and
differently
from
what
happened
in
FY22,
we
expect
that
the
generation
of
revenues
during
the
year
will
be
more
homogeneous
between
the
different
quarters
of
FY23
and
that,
also
for
comparable
reasons,
the
growth
compared
to
last
year
will
be
concentrated
in
the
first
half
of
the
current
fiscal
year.

Outlook and Guidance - Good order-in-take continues

Outlook and Guidance – Supply chain recovery allowed to start to reduce order book, progressively decreasing long lead times Total firm order book evolution by business unit (€m) — excluding contract manufacturing business units (e.g. Hair & Body)
