Sales increase, but smaller profit for Henkel

ales by the Henkel Group reached EUR 22.397bn in the 2022 fiscal year. This corresponds to a nominal growth of 11.6% and to a significant organic sales growth of 8.8%. Adjusted operating profit (adjusted EBIT) reached EUR 2.319bn compared to EUR 2.686bn in the 2021 fiscal year (-13.7%).
