- Nestlé ADR NSRGY Chief Executive Mark Schneider reportedly said the food major is likely to raise prices further in 2023.
- The remark is made as raw material price rise has led to the company's FY22 profit miss, Reuters reported.
- However, Schneider did not disclose the rate of price rise.
- Nescafe instant coffee and KitKat chocolate bars maker had raised prices by 8.2% in 2022, the report added.
- "Our gross margin is down about 260 basis points - that is massive. That is after all the pricing we have done in 2022," Schneider told.
- "We have some markets, like the U.S. and U.K., where we see strong continued inflation, and other markets like China and like here in Europe… where inflation is more muted."
- The company's FY22 net profit decreased by 45.2% to CHF 9.3 billion and net profit margin decreased by 960 basis points to 9.8%.
- Nestlé expects FY23 organic sales growth between 6% and 8% and underlying trading operating profit margin between 17.0% and 17.5%.
- Price Action: NSRGY shares closed lower by 0.66% at $120.18 on Wednesday.
