By GlobalDataLindt announced its full-year results last month and while it continued to grow its business ahead of the global chocolate market in 2015, supported by both organic growth and the contribution from acquisitions, its sales did miss analyst expectations.
The company did not provide sales for individual markets. However, the Lindor maker said sales in Europe increased 5.4% on an organic basis and when measured in local currencies helped by double-digit growth in the UK, as well as “great performances” in Germany and France.
