Zurich, Switzerland, July 15, 2022 – DKSH reported good half-year 2022 results. EBIT increased by 16.6% to CHF 153.3 million and net sales grew 2.0% reaching CHF 5,596.2 million. All four Business Units recorded higher profits. In addition, DKSH signed six acquisitions, increased its digital business double digits, and made good progress on its Sustainability (ESG) roadmap.

DKSH CEO Stefan P. Butz said: “I am pleased with the results achieved so far in the challenging environment of 2022. After a successful 2021, we continue moving forward with solid growth and profitability improvements. We accelerated M&A, further digitalized our business, and made good progress in our ESG agenda. We will keep working hard to continue delivering value to all our stakeholders and on our purpose.”

DKSH Group

In the first half of 2022, Group net sales grew by 2.0% and reached CHF 5,596.2 million. Organic growth contributed the most at 3.0% while acquisitions added 0.7%, resulting in a growth in constant exchange rates of 3.7%. The strengthening of the Swiss franc had a negative impact of 1.7% in the period.

EBIT reached CHF 153.3 million in the first half of 2022, 16.6% higher than the previous year, while the EBIT margin expanded by more than 30 basis points from 2.4% to 2.7%. Profit after tax was CHF 105.7 million and Free Cash Flow reached CHF 72.1 million. Volatile supply chains and strong growth in Business Unit Performance Materials resulted in temporary higher inventory levels, offset by a reduction in receivables due to faster cash collection.

Business Unit Healthcare

Business Unit Healthcare delivered organic growth and solid EBIT margin improvement, driven by a leaner structure, acquisitions and a higher share of value-added products. The business continued to catch-up from the pandemic and experienced high demand for COVID related products. The Business Unit also announced the acquisition of Acutest Systems in Malaysia.
