Increased sales volumes across its Human Nutrition and Animal Nutrition businesses drove the growth.
Reported net sales decreased 1.4%; organic net sales decreased 1.1%.
Total volumes shipped grew by 2.7%, reflecting sustained demand for essential food, feed, fibers, and industrial products.
Revenue rose 1.2% from £3.232 billion (US$4.327B) in 2024, with branded products accounting for approximately 90% of total sales.
This decline in profitability was primarily attributed to a challenging consumer landscape, higher marketing expenditures, and rising labour and freight costs, although these pressures were partly offset by moderating ingredient costs and lower interest expenses.
