Symrise feels the impact of high energy and raw material costs
Symrise <DE000SYM9999>, a manufacturer of fragrances, flavors and other food additives, benefited last year from good business around pet food and the revival of travel. In addition, increasing out-of-home consumption drove demand for beverage additives. However, this was offset by high Energy and raw material costs. Sales rose 8.7 percent year-on-year to 3.83 billion euros in 2021, the Dax <DE0008469008> company reported in Holzminden on Tuesday. Operating profit (Ebitda) increased by 9.6 percent to 814 million euros, corresponding to a margin of 21.3 percent. While sales were slightly above the average market expectation, operating profit remained slightly below.
